New MX5 owner and first Mazda car we have every owned.
Always looked at the MX5 as an interesting car, but our paths never crossed until recently when we decided to take the plunge and pick up a 1.5 Sport 2021. I demo’d the 1.5 and the 2ltr and didn’t find the 2ltr as enjoyable as the 1.5 (to me), and having a fair few RWD sports cars over the recent years with much higher HP, we decided to buy the 1.5 so we can use the limited power for longer than 2 secs on a B road. My wife and I really wanted to get back into a fun car for driving holidays and spotted this one and decided to buy!
I don’t know what it is about cars that push from the rear, instead of pull from the front but its just so satisfying to drive.
Hoping to keep this to run about in East Anglia and Wales in September and European road trips next year!
It’s the countryside problem of small B roads, dog walkers, horses, cyclists and my nature to give them plenty of space and consideration. Track days and Ring trips is where I get me speed fix.
Thx, I was a little hesitant to go for the dark blue, but I really like it now. Its the closest I wanted to get to black, having owned black before and constantly trying to look after it. Its very dark in certain light conditions, so dark in fact that I fitted piano black door mirrors and can’t tell they are different colour some of the time!
Going to get an alignment at the weekend, as I feel its a little vague in a straight line, and try the settings I found on here for caster, camber etc.
