The Best Sports Car In The World — A brilliant small sports car. Just everything you need in a sports car of this size. I took mine accross Europe and it never missed a bit in the 5 years I had it.

Pros: Style, Fun, Smile Factor

Cons: A little under powered

A Modern Incarnation Of An Old British Roadster That Won't Leak In Your Driveway — I loved this car-- it was an absolute blast to drive. Perfectly balanced handling, good performance, and a perfect exhaust note. Very tossable... my wife always said I steered with my right foot too much.

Pros: Flawless handling
Fun to Drive

Cons: "Chick car" status
insufficient legroom for my 6'3" frame

The Ultimate Economy Roadster! <3 — He's 25 years old and his styling has held up well. I was looking for a British car - being English myself- MG, Triumph, etc. and saw an ad for the Mazda. Decided to go and see him, drove him, fell in love, brought him home. Everyone comments on how cool he looks. I left the lights on a few days ago and the battery was flat. I missed that car so much in the hours it took to recharge. I had to be consoled with chocolate. Ha ha.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Pros: He looks cool, he's reliable, he's a head turner. I don't have to ferry people around due to only room for 2. Yay! :p

Cons: None. I would say cargo capacity but I knew that when I bought him, so it hardly matters.

This Is One Of The Best Things I Have Done, Looks Good, Rides Good, Life Is Good — I bought this car because at age 57, I decided that I deserved a toy and this seemed a lot safer than a motorcycle and my wife will get in this with me.

Pros: Car looks really good have had positive feedback at cruize nite. I like the response from 5 speed.

Cons: The ride is a little rough but we are a lot closer to the ground.

Fun car to drive. Good mpg, it isnt an every day driver and it does need premium fuel. The trunk is small but it would carry a few duffle bags for a long trip. The manual tranny is tight, fast shiftin... Read More
