After a year with the 2.0 folding hardtop MX-5 I can only say it has been brilliant, exceeding all my expectations, especially in the provision of comfortable open top motoring all year round. It's fast enough for the sane among us, but for me it's best burbling slowly down country lanes with my wife and I chilling out in the sunshine and enjoying the scenery. It's comfortable, even for me at 6 foot and 18 stone. Luggage space was a slight concern, but my wife reckons there is enough room in the boot to pack all two people need for a fortnight's touring holiday. At 66 I have never owned a car so well sorted. Almost totally perfect. Thank you Mazda. It's a pity that having created the template we allowed the Japs to make squillions out of it. Same with Frank Whittle and the jet engine. Why are we so abysmally stupid?
