Mazda MX-5 2.0 Sport Nav 2d Owner Review

This car never fails to put a big smile on my face! It is so much fun to drive....and that's just normal driving, it only gets better the harder you push it. Bought for £14k a year ago and not looked back. It's been reliable during the time I've had it, and the ~3k miles I've put on it. Replaced two worn tyres, and that's it outside a routine service. Returns good MPG with an average of 42mpg. Literally 2-3secs and the roof is down ready for you to enjoy the A and B roads. Performance is great for a car of this nature; it's not an BMW M3 or a Hot-Hatch, but in 2.0L form it'll give you 60 in 7 seconds which is ample. The higher trim models benefit from revised suspension and a limited slip differential which all give a better ride when flying round the country lanes. On the motorway it can get a little noisy with the room up, but that's to be expected from a rag-top. The trim is great on these too; Bose stereo, Apple Carplay/Android Auto, blindspot mirrors, lane departure warning, keyless entry, cruise control are all here. I found the exhaust tone to be a bit soft, so corrected this with a bit of noise from tuning company BBR, who also specialise in a raft of ways to add more fun to your MX5 experience. Don't regret buying the car for one second. Hopefully it's a car I'll keep for some time - right now it's my daily driver.
