Hi everyone, my names Kelvin and i currently own a 1995 Civic EG.

Im thinking of selling the Civic for a Mx5.

I have had my Civic for four years and love it, but i have always loved the mx5 but im unsure if i would enjoy it more than the Civic. The reason i want to get a mx5 is because my Civic is getting a bit old, i have had enough of rust, the harshness etc but on the right day and road its perfect. Maybe i will miss the speed of the Civic but im hoping a mx5 will still be fun to drive.

I have registered to have a look around for inspiration and get some information.

 Hi and welcome to the forum Waving   Go get a 5 you will not be sorry.

My budget is around 3.5k but i would want one with no rust and preferably low milleage.

Im also going to look into fuel economy and insurance costs of an mx5 as i want to save money over the Civic, which with all the modifications and engine conversion is expensive to run.
