Service intervals on MkII MX5?

[baptistsan]

Am contemplating a MX5 mk2.5. Are the service intervals really every 6000 miles? Oh and are they happy enough on normal unleaded petrol?

It's either one of these or a MR2.

Thoughts please?

TIA.

Currently running a MK 2.5 1.6, it's happy enough on normal petrol.
Can't comment on the service intervals though

Service interval is 9000 miles and they are perfectly happy on standard unleaded. There is no point using super unleaded as the ecu will not adjust the timing to make the most of it.
