Quote from: sdpIm surprised the poll is so close, I thought the mr2 would rinse it.

Ive found a supposedly mint mx5 so Im gonna look tonight, I got bad vibes about the other one, it looked a bit mess close up.

Nah man, I love the mr2 obviously, and can vouch for the reliability and yadda yadda, but I hear the same about the mx5, and tbh unless its a turbo mr2 I doubt the performance figures are going to be miles apart.

Im sure you will know whats right when you find the right car, good luck with the mx5 youre going to look at tonight, if you didnt know a lot of good examples here http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/list.asp?s=57

MX5, as its an honest little roadster, that unlike the Austin Healys of yore, is a dependable little car. The MR2 is arguably a better handling car because of the engine layout, yadda yadda bing bong, but its not as pleasant as the MX5 for normal use.

the mr2s look alot better, but i think the drive of the mx5 would win it for me. although i wouldnt buy either, im sure you can workout what MR roadster i would favour.

i to am surprised the MR2 hasnt just thrashed the poll, its a real car with the engine in the middle.. what more could you want

omg I just drove the mx5, its bloody quick for a 1.6  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

Its the one at the top of the page

Picking it up tomorrow night  

looks cool, you will have to get some decent pics up as am not convinced on the colour yet

you look at any Fs?

I went to look at one but the bloke at the garage had taken it out for the day so I walked away.

Looks smart geezer, hope you enjoy it :mrgreen:

Just be ready to brush aside any gay and hairdresser comments, its not your fault that other people are insecure with their own sexuality

A single black offset racing stripe would masculinize it pronto. That, and hang a pair of brass balls from the rear view mirror.  Enjoy it, theyre very fun. They feel like youve got all ya need, no more, and unless you live in Deutschland, who cares about the top end.

ah you fell foul of an MX..   addictive :mrgreen: couldnt stop going out in my MX-3 when I got it...   9months down the line I still couldnt stop finding B roads

Its all about the man/machine as one thing with the MX-5, which regardless of how many BHP is why is so flippin good, the first corner and it slaps a bit smile on your face I bet as the wheel & nicely balanced chassis communicates to you!

It handles superbly, the bloke just had 4 wheel alignment done on it, needs a supercharger tho tbh

Already had a limp wrist directed at me
