Mazda MX-5 (1990 - 2005) 1.6i Arizona 2d (2002/02) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It says I am sporty, like to drive, enjoy a quick, cute car that rivals the more expensive cars and the typical 'guy' car.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They always comment that it looks fantastic and fun. A proper car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, most definitely.

What are you likely to buy next?

I will stick with this style of car, thank you. But I might upgrade to a more eco-friendly car.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,700

When did you buy the car?

October 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, because the car is still worth the same if not more during sunny months.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It is a sporty car, great engine, good fuel consumption, for a mid-range priced car you get the roadster feel.

What was the dealer like?

Knew his cars.

What's it like to drive?

It has power for a 1.6. I can zip in and out of traffic where larger cars cannot. It picks up speed quickly so no delay when making quick changes. Motorway it can be a bit loud inside so long distances, though fun in a sporty car, you can go deaf.

What's it like to park?

Easy. It is small and fits places. I do tend to not pull all the way to the front of the car park space as people sometimes do not see it when they are looking for a space. Several near misses with people about to pull in and see my car at the last minute.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing except standard stuff based on the way I drive.

What's most practical about your car?

Gets me from point A to point B.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Convertible.
