All the looks and character of a classic 60's MGB. But with modern MX5 components. What more could you want! We need more stuff like this, albeit a lot cheaper!!

Agreed that the price is insane but a Boxster? Really?

I'd just buy an MX5 and pocket the rest.

Drive one, and you'd realise why. It may be the 'default option' but it's that option for a very good reason.

The question I have is why aren't Mazda doing this 215bhp version of their engine?

When I had my MX-5 is seemed tuning options were few and far between save for a very expensive supercharger from Cosworth.

I have. Great in many ways but soulless and not exciting in any way IMO but you could level that at almost any modern car.
