When buying a used Mazda MX-5 you can expect a fun and stylish convertible, at a more than affordable price.
You can pick up a used Mazda MX-5 with either a 1.8 or 2.0 engine. Some reviewers have commented that the 1.8 lacks a little power, so if you are looking for that extra punch the 158bhp 2.0 litre may be the better option. The MX-5 performs better when driven like a sports car, so pushing the car to its limits will get the most fun results.
The Mazda MX-5 is a fun car and the handling is what makes this. In corners the rear wheel MX-5 excels and the light body enables agile road positioning and responsive steering. As you would expect from a sports roadster the ride is firm, which only adds to the overall performance and racing feel of the Mazda MX-5.
As mentioned earlier one of the major appeals of buying a used Mazda MX-5 is the affordable price in the new and used market. This has lead to high demand and high residual value when selling in the used car market. The MX-5 is suitable for everyday use as its fuel usage is economical and insurance costs not substantial for a sports car.
Used Mazda MX-5 are also re-nowned for their quality and reliability. Regular servicing will ensure your used Mazda MX-5 will continue to provide a fun and reliable drive for many years. Mazda is known as a reliable car manufacturer and the MX-5 is no different.
The roof is not automatic but is simple to put down or more importantly get up if you are in a rush. Also when driving with the roof down the wind disruption is controlled well with the help of the sports seats. It is recommended to invest in the hard top roof for winter driving as wind noise can be disruptive when driving on motorways with roof up.
So if you are looking for a fun and sporty roadster, used Mazda MX-5 ticks all the boxes. Affordable to buy, economic to run, fun to drive with reliability as standard.
