Guys, could you drive a ...

[ChrisRitchVTR]

MX-5?
looking into perhaps getting the 1.6 old stlye one next but what i have noticed is anyone i have told has asked me wether i drive on the marmite express way:n:
discuss lol

[Viper]

im quite liking the newer shape mx5 but not keen on the older ones.

if you like the car, fuck what anyone else thinks! :y:

[Liam_LFC_VTR]

Not to keen on the mx5, prefer the s2000 tbh.

But if you like it, go for it :y:

[Mieran]

I was going to see the car below but the owner crashed it before I even went to see it!

Its not one of them cars that I would look out for and deffo want to get but then I saw that red one on piston heads and quite liked it.

[Ryan]

Very popular with ring goers, cheap rwd fun...

people who slate them saying they are shit are generally 1.1 saxo owners

[Rob_Furio7]

i wanted one for next year, but i rekon the insurance would be to high, plus i prefer the hy coupe. its a nice cheap rwd to buy and plus insurance isnt too bad either

[jasonwellwicked]

Could I drive one... Hell yes! Any small drop top is labelled as a hair dressers car, regardless of its driveability. That should not be the reason to prevent you from going down this route!

Insurance and road tax all play a part, but its interesting comparing the 1.8 performance wise to a VTS!

Id be inclined to go for the 1.8 if you could stretch!

[sammy-spoiler]

awwsum wee cars:y:, get it bought ya wee poof!;)

[Cammy]

i like the newer ones fo sho'

but the older ones? theres just something about them i dont like.

[LeeM]

definately, my dad had a mk2.5 1.8s that i took out whenever i got the chance. great cars

[ne_jam]

cool as fook , but have to be a mark 1 with pop up lights :P

[Tontsy]

mx-5 . . . yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes...any day, of any week! at any time, i WOULD be seen in one of them.

i fucking love them!

[ChrisRitchVTR]

Awesome:y:
insurance i got a quote of £735 TPF&T so would be about 1200 FC i would have thought

[AXracing]

As what the others have said. Also you will be shocked at how many girls love drop tops ;) Only people that dont like them are chav boy racers but who gives a fook about them?

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

I couldn't tbh. i would feel ashamed to walk up to it in a peccy station, regardless of how well it drives!

[Spanky]

been seriously considering an older shape one for a next or 2nd car tbh.

Would have to be black, lazy boy headlights, smoked out, etc etc, think they do look rather cool.

If you like them though, it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks tbh

[Mochachino]

I cant stand the look of these cars tbh.

[ALEXvtr]

new 2.0l sport ones are awesome i think

[iw_laurence]

yes i could, thinking of getting one soon, theres two going round atm with supercharged engines and they are VERY quick!!

[MR_N]

Ive been seriously considering one tbh. Especially if it looked like these:

[Ste]

Ive been after one for a while, mainly for drifting as they are cheap and can be powerful with simple mods.

[MR_N]

That dont look like "simple" mods lol

[Ste]

That dont look like "simple" mods lol

True lol.

The few that I've seen have just slapped a bigger turbo on and some bigger injectors, had it mapped up and had a perfect little skidder!!

[MR_N]

could make a great little drift car to learn in tbf

[jordysaxobby]

what you rel wnat to do is get a wheely bin and put a lawn mower engine in it,.. but don't do it tho because me and chris brown want to be the 1st =D

[Strikevts]

HAHA jordan u dick thats a secret

[Mieran]

There is a lad on a local forum selling one, apparently it comes with LSD as standard

[Ste]

Looks nice, id get the hard roof though if i got one!

[craig180]

Friend of mine used to have a 1.6 W plater MX5. pap.

However he's just waiting for a call to let him know when his new Mx5 170 is due in - he's pxing him RX8 against it!

I like them

[Jay_]

yes i definately could. ace RWD small can make them look awesome and probably get them tuned well!!

[titchster]

It'd have to be a Mk1, and the 1.8, then I could, yes.

Welded diff FTW. :p

[miamibluebaby]

i was looking into one, but im too young acording to mr insurance :( jap rwd early 90's fun cant go wrong imo, very capable cars with the right 'tweeks' boost :)

[jordysaxobby]

haha all gd man we need to get jobs n get this bin thing sorted

[Danr]

Good cars imo. I'd consider one.

[Matt_West_Mids]

They're nice I like them. :D

The MX5 is the best cheap convertible according to Top Gear. :y:

I quite like MR2's as well.

[CampDavid]

Great car. Supercharginhg is one option. Stuffing a chevy small block in is more of a hero option

[tinytim6666]

i like em :y:
i drove one a few months back the new shape and i loved it

[djflipsaxo]

Personally its not the type of car im in to.
give me an rx8 any day though.

[saxokid100]

Not to keen on the mx5,

[Dasher_VTR]

i got an MR2 instead lol.

looks miles better imo. also extremely big following of them.

[adamm]

yeah there great cars be carfull for the backend though think there faster than the vtr aswell.
