General Comments

Bought first Mazda MX-5 when I was 22 which was fabulous, it was a 1993 1.6 Eunos imported from Japan and cost of £6000 which is expensive but the going price. The engine for its year was superb, the extras suitable and the look (stardust) silver just perfect. As a young woman the car is a dream, its sexy, affordable, reliable, and not expensive to run and parts also not overly high in cost.

My second Mazda at 26 was a 1999 Mx-5 1.6 this time Spanish plate standard European model. Not nearly as funky looking as the old one with its flip up lights and lowered suspension and extras. This one is simple with no electric windows, no aircon, no bling inside but of course all this can be added. Got this one for £4000 - a bargain and in immaculate condition, paid for the engine quality as apposed to paying so much more for one with extras. The driving is clean and short gear changes and as fun as the earlier model but there is something charming about the 1993 model that I simply miss. The sound of the doors shutting, the different lights and the cool finger-pull door handles. Also being lowered you felt every bit of the break horse power and the Eunos' tend to have more bhp than the European versions so its worth looking at it and testing as many as you can before buying.
