Question for Matt...
When driving one of these, is it obligatory to have that badger sitting on your shoulders, or were you just showing off?
Hello! Wasn't Matt, t'was me. And it was ruddy freezing when we shot it so, yes, it was! It was that or a sheep, the Dartmoor ones seemingly fairly determined to transform themselves into jackets at any given opportunity. Wish I'd had that jacket the other week when I was out in the Caterham too. Brrr. When driving one of these, is it obligatory to have that badger sitting on your shoulders, or were you just showing off?
Cheers!

And I'm not sure if the Dartmoor ewes are friendly. Belligerent/suicidal/stupid for sure, even by sheep standards!

Why do people keep saying it's a targa? The rear window goes down...
Anyway, I think it's bloody stunning. Looks much better than the soft top with the top up, but worse with the roof retracted. Though it will be better at hiding bald spots with the roof down and bald spots are an all too common blemish on most convertibles I see in the wild

Praise the lord, this must be one of the few new cars that isn't burdened with turbo crap, zf gearbox rubbish, it even still has a fully manual (left arm workout by today's lazy drive standards) handbrake. Will it work to provide simple handbrake turn pleasures like the ones used to impress impressionable girls when we started our driving careers. This could well be the MR2's replacement in my fleet when they are about 10 years old and selling for £2000-£3000. Great stuff Mazda.
The previous hardtop version was no doubt convenient but it was no beauty & this is a just a clumsy truncated effort with a roof line that is FAR too high. Maybe Mazda had images of an elderly Rover driver wanting to wear his trilby when driving.
The dreary depressing Eastern Bloc tarmac grey colour is so unsuited to what is supposed to be a fun frivolous machine for youngsters.
After the first 2 versions of the MX-5 Mazda began to lose its way & perhaps the concept has had its day or are there other variations in the pipeline, a hatch-back perhaps or a 4 x4 for mummies yet able to afford an Evoque convertible?
