What do you Love/Hate about your MX-5? Nov 6, 2020 3:11:27 GMT

G'day everyone! My name is Matt and I run the Car Review YouTube channel Matt Brand Cars (link for those interested: www.youtube.com/mattbrandcars)

Mazda has given me a 2020 MX-5 (Miata) and I wanted to know from owners: What do you love about your MX-5? What do you hate?

I love to get the opinions of those who actually live with the car as well as my own thoughts from driving it over the week, as a year of ownership tells a lot more than a week of hooning!

If you like, share some photos of your MX-5!

I use some of what you have to say in the review! (Scheduled release: 8th November)

Cheers all

Most (all?) of us here are running the earlier versions, as far as I know

Yeah ND would be nice, but if you have NA-NC feel free to share. I find a lot of the experiences are similar, and its good to get a bit of history too!

It’s not a triumph of hype over engineering...and only cost grand.
