1991 Mazda MX5 1.6 16v

Summary:

Please Mazda, never stop production of this car!

Faults:

Absolutely none until I totalled it last week.

Everything on the car was original until the last minute.

Minuses - inadequate rigidity of the body, poor brakes (non ABS model), not suitable for people taller than 180 cm.

Unfortunately, the poor brakes cost me the car (braked too early on a slippery road and I slid off).

General Comments:

One of the most beautiful, best built and most fun to drive sports cars of all time!

Awesome handling, superb shifter.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I know what you mean. I've managed to total my Eunos V Special twice now, but I still wouldn't have any other car.

Netty.

How can you total something twice?

Seriously, they are good for over 180cm drivers. I am 198cm and fit - the answer is a leather trimmed v-spec car - seats are thinner and Nardi wheel has more room under it.
