Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

My partner used to own the MK1 MR2 and loved it, Unfortunately due the car being over 25 years old it had to be scrapped. We both wanted to try the Roadster to see if it matched up the MK1's performance and driver enjoyment and it did!

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

I use this car mostly for commuting up the M1 everyday and back, It makes my commute to work absolute joy! It cruises happily on the motorway, It is also very quick at pulling of from traffic lights, Cornering is fantastic, I am however very careful in the wet being a mid engine.

What's it like to park?

Being quite a new driver I do find this tricky to park sometimes due to the lack of visabilty out of the back. However being such a small car helps.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I had to replace one of the 02 sensors shortly after I bought the car,.As it had 103,000 miles on the clock I expected to have to replace small parts like this. It wasnt an expensive part and was very easy to fit myself at home.

What's most practical about your car?

I'm a young driver, I've always wanted a sportly car and I was extremely suprised by how cheap this car was to insure. Tax isnt to bad either.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I have the hard top on the car, The is fantastic over the winter months. Kept the car warmer inside, It also had a large rear windscreen and a couple of extra inches of head height. I also have the black leather seats, Whilst these arent the most comfortable seats in the world, they look very sexy!
