"Owners describe the MX-5 as huge fun and remarkably affordable, praising the balanced handling, the lively engine and comfortable leather seats. One likens it to a four-wheeled motorbike. A rattle at higher speeds and slightly dated connectivity are the only real gripes. Maximum thrills for the money, and a car its owners adore."

I love that this is an affordable and reliable soft top 2 seater car, it is a little bit different from the previous spec as it focuses more on performance. The. 50/50 weight balance is key to allowing the car to remain stable and feels like it glides rather than just being driven.The 2L engine is not too loud and not quiet just a peaceful drive and the true essence of a sports car.Mazda truly deliver yet again with the NC3.
Sometimes when travelling at high speeds you may hear a rattling sound.This is normal but can be rather unsettling to hear.
The car is for people who really love cars and is a love letter to MX-5 and convertible lovers.Mx-5 have a great community and makes you feel at home in a world where this is now lacking, if you want an affordable 2 seater sports car with similar handling to a Porsche Boxster, a modern reliable one that is decent on fuel, has functions like cruise control and decent boot space then a Mazda Mx-5 NC IIII is certainly one I recommend. I can’t speak highly enough about it, it’s my dream car after all !

Incredibly fun to drive and yet such an affordable little thing.
Slightly better connectivity would be nice but it’s not essential.
I’ve had the same experience with a couple of MX-5s: maximum thrills in an affordable package.
