I just drove an mx-5 and...
Discussion
Well, sure shut my mouth, after years of constantly thinking its a car for fairys or hairdressers and wondering why everyone on here mention it as THE car to get. Now i know why, it was AWESOMELY good!
It was just on rails the whole time , it was only a short blast down a windy road but it was enough to answer all the questions ive always wondered! It was the mk2 1.8 version and loved to be revved!!!
But could i shake off the image of me feeling and , well looking like a bit of a cock driving one?

if you fit in it i can only assume your 6ft or below, because im 6ft 2" and i dont fit in it... which is f
king annoying!
Did you test a Mk2.5 (i.e. Mk2 2001+)? The seats on this model are much taller and deeper than previous (and later) models so head-room & leg room does become a bit of an issue for taller drivers. I'm 6'1" though and can fit just fine in a Mk2.5 with just a little bit of leg space issue. Mk1 & Mk2 are fine though - loads of space.![](/inc/images/censored.gif)

Your that bothered about what a few clueless fools will think about you?
Surely that makes it more fun?Although they can be used as a very rewarding driver's car the fact remains that a huge number of MX5s are driven gently by housewives in search of a 'pretty convertible'. That stereotype just makes it all the more amusing when someone who knows what they're doing makes mincemeat of a repmobile driver about to utter the phrase 'girl's car'. Pyro said:

The Boxster is so utterly capable though. Fabulous speed, computer game accurate handling, capable of lazy cruising at big speeds on the motorway, amazing stereo (yes, its important!), did I mention the speed, incredible grip, poise, did I mention that its fast?
Man, it's the right decision, but I'll miss the 5.
