Ownership Of My MX-5
Well what can I say! Sheer brilliance, exciting, fun, cute, sexy, reliable describes this car. And it did get an award in the Autocar awards taking the title of '‘Best Handling Car 2003'’. The Mazda MX-5 beat the Porsche 911 GT3, BMW Z4, and Noble M12 GTO 3-R, proving the Mazda MX-5's driving dynamics still offer tremendous driving pleasure. "The Mazda MX-5 offers as much pleasure as a Porsche 911 GT3 regardless of how fast you drive it," enthused Autocar. This is one of the reason i bought this car.

MX5 Buying Guide
When ringing a seller I always ask the same questions, 1/ How long have you owned the car? This will tell you a lot, the longer the better and beware of anything under a year or wonder what has made them sell it so quick. 2/ Has the car had any accidents that they know of?

MX5 MAZDA BUY HINTS AND TIPS The Mazda is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. It looks great and provides the sort of driving pleasure few cars can match. The Mazda MX-5 will hold its value well, regardless of weather or not it is a limited edition or not. Every potential buyer should be aware of - second hand cars imported from Japan that have either been damaged or are no longer able to pass the strict tests carried out in that country after a car reaches its third birthday. Auto Express found that a large number of cars were coming to Britain with service histories in Japanese and/or which been involved in accidents. The engine management systems are different and all Japanese market vehicles are fitted with kph speedometers, giving an ideal opportunity to alter the mileage once it is replaced with an mph speedo. Japanese market cars do not have the same rust protection as do British market cars. If an MX-5 is cheap, be careful. Ask ple...
