2002 Mazda MX-5 reviews

Mazda MX-5 Sport 2002

Having had my beloved MX-5 stolen on Christmas day I decided it was time for a change. I bought a Peugeot 206cc and regretted it. It was a nice car, well built but just lacked something. I kept the car for two months and sold it and now have another MX-5. Now I know what I was missing. It is a pleasure to drive and the balance is fantastic. I felt I must comment on a previous reviewer who could not out-drag a van. He is missing the point completely and should buy one of those annoying little Clio’s. I find a reputed 129mph top speed quite enough enough to pull away from most. However, I have not actually pushed the car past 70mph. There is no point and it is about the pure pleasure of driving as all MX5 owners know. If you see me in my little car and want a race please go ahead I will not be taking part. I shall look relaxed and happy while you grind the gears and the revs and wreck you engine. However as most of these idiots drive 1.2 Clio’s or Corsa’s be aware as you pass me with your red face and flooring your car I just smile and of course you know why! I have driven high power cars over the years raced with the best in my youth but completely missed the point about driving. It is simply not cool to drive like an idiot any more. In short the MX-5 is simply the best car I have ever driven. And if you want to out-drag a van as one reviewer then buy a more powerful van!!!
