An MX-5 shouldn't be a snourting monster, its a car for driving into the countryside on a nice sunny day to find a nice Pub for lunch, Richard Hammond

[@TheGospelOfCars]

This car isn't about wrestling a monster, through turns and being relieved when you survive, I'm not trying to win a fight, its human being and machine working together.... Richard Hammond

[@Lee-70ish]

Correct MX5 drivers know why they buy it . Its not for performance its for fun.

[@KaiTakApproach]

I disagree. The MX 5...at least the manual, LSD version, can be an angry little wasp and a tail happy hooligan. By no means is it kingpin of the road, but it can certainly be a low level thug. Speaking from experience.

[@gho95]

Or its for sending round a roundabout on a Saturday night and getting rocked by an is200 when you spin out

[@TheXGrandXFinale]

It can be whatever you want it to be, that’s why there has been such a massive aftermarket for all of these cars. You can keep it stock or turn it into a Lambo killer, that’s the beauty of it

[@nismo2070]

I will always have a Miata. Driving it is legitimate therapy for me. It just puts a smile on my soul.

[@patrickguernsey4929]

Simple, light, agile, this is the recipe for driving fun. Volontary engine and of course 100 % cabrio feeling

[@easezgin]

1.5 can easily do 7.5 secs to 100 kmh too. Love it so much.

how much did you pay? here in eastern europe the cheapest ones start at 5000$ (with the pop-up headlights)

Somebody lent one of these to me about 15 years ago for a week in the Yorkshire Dales. It was the most fun car I ever drove. It wasn't quick, it wasn't comfortable, but it was FUN!

You could tell Brits are angry about a Japanese car beating them at there own game

[@adude8424]

Not to mention that the Japanese "re-invented" and "re-popularized" the dead british roadsters and literally make the word roadster from a british thing into a japanese thing.

[@dedge12858]

Where's the anger?

[@_Davepocalypse]

I don't recall being angry. It's a classic British roadster, but without any of the downsides. It's a win-win.

Am I stupid, or does he say he went to Humberside to drive it? Doesn't look anything like Humberside to me. If so where is this? As it looks like Majorca to me

Thank you!

[@TheDude50447]

The MX 5 can just sod off. Ive loved the looks of this car for decades. Ive heard people talk about how awesome it drives. So about 20 years ago I decided to one day buy one. So this year I needed a new car. I went to the Mazda Dealership and told them I want a MX5. What have you got? The salesman looks at me with a sort of pained expression on his face and asked me how tall I was. Its 2 metres or just over 6.5 feet. Long story short I cant actually fit behind the steering wheel. Bought a Mazda 3 instead.

[@louisgresswell6098]
