Driving
Due to my job, I've driven every car from an BMW X5 to a Nissan Micra, but NOTHING drives as good or as sharp as an MX-5.
Performance
1.6s are quicker than your average. To enhance perfomance, keep the car serviced well and add a performance air filter. Believe me, it's quick. Just ask the Ford Puma Thunder.

Reliability
Please - it's Japanese.

Comfort
Good low driving position.
