A roof. TBH, I haven't a clue what you mean... If you mean in terms of "toys", the brochure will tell you. If you mean in terms of how it'll drive, the test drive will tell you.

The Mazda's RWD, so you'll need to learn to drive. And going from a 1.1 Pug to a 1.8 MX5 is going to be a pretty big jump in terms of how fast it goes. I went from a 1.3 Ka to a 1.4 Volvo (about the same speed), then to a 1.8 Mondeo. That seemed impossibly fast for a few weeks. Then I got a 1.8 Golf GTi 16V. That seemed impossibly fast for a long while again. Going from a 1.1 to a 1.8 is going to seem mad fast. Like I said, learn to drive ;).

You should also be aware that the MX5 is being replaced by a completely new model later this year (the current model is effectively 15 years old, with a few minor tweaks along the way). In normal circumstances that might mean there would be some bargins on the current model later in the year, though in this case this might not happen due to the loss of production last year when there was a fire at the factory. The new MX5 has a slightly different look to the past ones: http://www.mazda.com/publicity/release/200502/0228e.html -- Andy Norman trout@norman.cx http://www.norman.cx/ Replace the fish with my first name to reply

(id not like to say bad things about meself, but I ate all the pies! lol) its a dream that has the potential to become a reality.. so even if its just for 3 years, ill have realised my 2 seater roadster dream (then its sights on the Bentley continental!!). having checked my paperwork, I'm about 11 months premature, so will be aiming at the new model (I likes it) looks like they are dropping the 1.6 and making the 1.8 the bottom rung, so might look into the 2L.. anyone know if this engine is used in other cars (I did a brief looksee, but couldn't find much). ooh and rear wheel drive I was told would make VERY little difference in a car like this.. (but I live to learn..) and have driven RWD b4 (tail happy Marina's and Viva's) but that twas a few years ago.. (omg now this sounds like a mid life crisis car!!) oh and car prior to the pug was a nice tweaked Mitsubishi Carisma GDI (gave an sti "it needs a service though mate" a run for its money on the twisties). so the Mazda does sort of put me back in line with that and the pug is the change of power etc.. (prob why I hunger the power back). Thanks for all comments so far... Loopy

If you think an MX5 is hard to get in/out of you should try the car that I plan to build, an Ultima GTR. This is a shot of me doing my back in while getting into one: http://tinyurl.com/c8cck ;) -- Andy Norman trout@norman.cx http://www.norman.cx/ Replace the fish with my first name to reply

If you are a typical driver just pootling round town in good weather then RWD will feel little different to FWD. However if you like driving fast then it feels and reacts very differently to a FWD hatchback. Also on snow/ice or if you are being ham fisted in the wet then if you aren't prepared for the back end to become frisky then someone used to an underpowered FWD is likely to be surprised by what the car does. If you have driven RWD before then you will understand what I mean. -- Andy Norman trout@norman.cx http://www.norman.cx/ Replace the fish with my first name to reply
