2008 mazda MX-5 reviews

Mazda MX-5 1.8 Option pack 2008

After a years ownership, I’m usually bored with a car, and the MX5 is no different. The performance is fair, the gearbox is poor, MPG around town is about 25 mpg, though on a run approaching 50, mainly because you can’t find any roads to go fast on these days. It’s fairly comfortable, if a bit cramped. The pedals, being too far away, determine your seat position (height 5ft 9ins) because you have to push the clutch pedal right to the floor, which I find irritating. I’ve had the wheel nuts replaced under warranty through rust, and there are one or two more nuts rusting. I don’t like the Mazda dealers that I’ve come across; and wasn’t even offered a coffee when having a service at JCT Leeds. I expected to be inventing reasons to drive it this summer, but thats not been the case. I’ve only done just over 3000 miles. The best bit is that, everywhere I go, people love it, and I get loads of envious glances and envious remarks. I don’t like to disillusion them by saying how average it is. I honestly don’t know what all the fuss is about, and their glowing reputation is not deserved.
