I drove a 184 mx5 rf this morning, 6 miles on the clock wheel covers still on.
It went well, was a tad stiff, wouldn’t need one to go any faster, sounded nice, brakes were naff to be expected as they wouldn’t have been bedded in.
Waiting for a price from the dealer.

£3k down, 36 x £379
Balloon £10101.75
Not sure I can make that work.

Im awaiting one at the local dealer for a test drive.
As per the bbr 200 review on here, I think it can be 30k worth of car.
Non leather seat car for about 20k
Fit the drop in the mazdaspeed buckets with the saving on the leather seats.
Ohlins road and track, along with eibach anti roll bars
Small bbk kit calipers.
Bbr na tuning kit, which will hopefully be about 225 or so, as their mods dont overlap with the mazda updates.
Decent tyres and some jazzy wheels:
Thinking of chopping in the 18 month old Exige 350 Sport. I spent about 100 times more in the forums than I do driving it, about 50 times more looking at it then driving it.
I miss the true roof down experience and really being able to wring a car out. The Exige is just epic and destroys roads, but too much tied up in a car I think for my usage. I do miss my s2000 days a bit, cheap to run, cheap to track and a car you can really push to 10/10ths. The low down torque the mx5 appeals as it will be better than an s2000 on the road. Also Im a bit precious about the exige to track it, insurance want a tracker, drinks fuel etc.
Decisions, decisions...

that seems about 4k too expensive doesn't it?£3k down, 36 x £379
Balloon £10101.75

what's the APR?
The residual price is horrendous when they have a car on their forecourt (2015 plate) for £15k.
If the balloon was £15k I'd have probably already bought one.

the APR is good...........can't you mess about with the balloon?The residual price is horrendous when they have a car on their forecourt (2015 plate) for £15k.

You can always refinance it on the balloon though? or you determined to get rid at end of the initial term?

Fleet prices have one for £753 up front and £251 per month for x 24
£6528 for the cost of lease.

- so forgive me - but that sounds better doesn't it?by Fleet does that mean it has to be a business lease and so tax is evil?

What is it abut TVR drivers that they always have to stick the boot into the MX-5? They're applies and pears.
However, in general nice to see mostly positive comments in response to a PH article on a car. SO much negativity and hate on this site in general these days.
I love Mazda. They just do their own thing. I really fancy an RX-8 and I'd love another MX-5. I miss my NB, but rust did for it. Not being handy with a welding tool, it was starting to grate having to pay £300 each year to get it through the MOT. I really do hope the NDs don't go the same way.
Oh and yes, please stick the new engine in a Mazda 3 and Mazda 6.
I can't imagine this will ever reach any of Mazda's other models - they'll be getting the new HCCI engine next yearHowever, in general nice to see mostly positive comments in response to a PH article on a car. SO much negativity and hate on this site in general these days.
