Hi Everyone....

Just wanted to introduce myself. Last Wednesday i became the proud owner of a 1.6 V-Spec Eunos. Never have i had so much driving pleasure for my £. I previously owned a 2.8 z3 and must admit that i was a little worried about the loss of power and creature comforts but within 5 miles of picking the Eunos up, all of my worries had disappeared. The handling is excellent, the drive rewarding and there is so much room for upgrades.

I have a fair bit planned for my new beast and cannot wait to get started, if i can stop myself from driving her that is....

Check out on MX5 Nutz, 'Skuzzle' does some nice TSi's for it that look very good on black '5s smile

Yup, like the wheels too.

Interested to hear your comparisons with the Z3 too regarding handling...

Very interested to hear about general comparisons to the Z3. Looking to go back to something more usable than the Caterham (hence lurking in the MX5 section) and a Z3M would be another option.

Hi

Thanks for all of the kind comments. The wheels are some light weight, Volk racing things. Not my first choice personally but seeing them one the car, they do look the part and they tie in well with the color scheme.

As for the Z3...It was a great car, i owned it for over a year. It was really easy to drive wether going round town or putting your foot down on a motor way but it is completely different to the MX5. It's like the Z drives you but you drive the Mazda if that makes sense. Even though i have only owned it for a week i have more confidence when pushing it and the whole experience is far more rewarding. I have found myself taking the long way to places just to go down some twisty roads, something that i never did in the Z.

I believe that if you want a reasonably fast car that's easy to drive and has all the mod cons, get a Z but if you want something thats fun, easy to maintain and is rewarding to drive get the Mazda!
