Mazda MX-5 2.0 Sport 2d Owner Review

Have it on a 3 year PCP. Low monthly costs although it is costing me quite dearly to change it early as I’m buying an Octavia (due to needing a car more suited to longer motorway journeys). I’ve enjoyed my time with it but I just nede something more practical. I love it when the sun shines and temperatures are warm but in the rain its just a very small unpractical car. Snow renders it useless and as a bank nurse I have lost work this winter at hospitals I know the car wouldn’t get to - its a fast depreciating driveway ornament. Reliability has been very good, although some electrical issues. Radio replaced at 6 months old as the original struggled to get good reception but the replacement is exactly the same. Boot lock servo(?) replaced at first service as boot sometimes locked me out. Still had problems but a new boot lid bumper button replaced a few weeks later solved things. ABS warning light kept coming on. Dealer said it was due to the ABS wire to the brakes being damaged, so my fault, however they repaired it and the light is back on again. Rattly trim and knocking noises from underneath, but I’m doing an early termination on the PCP so it will be the dealer’s problem. Uncomfortable seats! I’m looking forward to my next more practical car and buying it outright so no commitment and monthyl payments. One other thing is that the hood doesn’t always go down properly. Sometimes it takes 2-3 goes for it to click in to place and then it can need to be pulled back up whilst holding the unlatch lever.
