What do you love most about your car?

It lifts my mood every time I drive it. Roof down in a couple of seconds. Rear wheel drive, fizzy little engine. Bomb proof reliable and very cheap on fuel and insurance. Also, it hardly has lost any value depreciation wise.

If you could change one thing about your car, what would it be?

It is noisy on the motorway. But would you expect anything else?

What would you say would be your overall verdict on this car?

Love it! Get one if you can. No wonder the MX5 is the world’s best selling sports car.

Steve's Verdict

Lightweight fun done properly: sharp handling, tidy refinement and real charm. Practicality remains limited, but it’s still one of the purest driver’s cars.

Who drives a car like this?

AI generated owner profile based on psychographic inference

Favoured by mindful enthusiasts and design-led professionals who prize purity, connection, and trustworthy simplicity over headline speed or status. Values authenticity, tactile feedback, and brands that respect drivers’ intelligence; seeks joyful rituals and transparent ownership costs. Urban weekdays, countryside weekends; open‑air detours after work; keeps kit minimal; protective of community standards and truthful reviews. Warmly critical; celebrates steering feel, balance, and value; forgives boot size; notices cabin materials, winter refinement, and service.

Did you know?

Built around the Japanese idea of ‘Jinba Ittai’—horse and rider as one—so even short errands can feel artful, like a dance between hands, feet, and road.

There’s a thriving UK habit of dawn ‘B‑road breakfasts’: owners meet at sunrise, chase horizons roof‑down, then swap tips over coffee—an easy gateway to community.

Light weight means playful handling happens at sensible speeds, teaching smoothness and anticipation; many owners say it quietly made them better drivers.
