Actually I think the styling is OK - it's nice and modern, but still shows its relationship with previous MX-5s

The engines are very naff though - why are they so underpowered??!?!!

They're supposed to be a good drive, nevertheles...

What is it with Mazda and wheelarches? Have they just found the "Massive Wheelarch" stencil down the back of the sofa?

It's not for any of us that's for sure but then it's like asking a Ferrari driver to downgrade to a a Z4 , totally stupid.

If my girlfriend had one then it would be cool as it's a girls car no doubt.


Right , just got to find a girlfriend now
