Mazda MX-5 1.5 SE-L Nav 2d Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
The Mk4 (ND) Mazda MX-5 should have been so good. This my third MX-5 over 11 years, but the many design and durability faults with this model have ensured that I will never buy another. Previous iterations of the MX-5 have enjoyed an almost "bullet-proof" reputation among owners and enthusiasts alike, but the Mk4 has been a litany of premature failures and complaints. Some failures are major and very expensive - eg, weak gearbox / failed rear suspension bearings / soft-top fouling on roll-hoops / window lift failure / thin, easily damaged paintwork - to name a few. Mazda have clearly been obsessive about saving weight and production costs.
