Thoughts?

edit: my toys are out the pram.

My mom drives one. brand new convertable one. So im going to say womens  

Im going to remain neutral. Anything with more poke than my Clio in essence should not be girly.

Having said that, my Clio is more masculine than other girly hatchbacks. Only real men can use the heavy clutch and it takes man strength to turn the non-power assisted steering wheel. GRR!

Nah it doesnt bother me at all and I do long hours of driving.

The missus was in it for 5 minutes driving to Sainsburys and couldnt cope  

MX-5s have a womans car image, but they really are a eithers, underneath

Lightweight, pokey and rear wheel drive with excellent weight distribution

A really genuine drivers car if you ask me, its all about feedback and the driver/car "as one" thing - no computers, the car just does as you tell it when you tell it.

cant beat that kind of thing down a country lane

Having owned an MX-3 (the one that never really took off, huh ) I must say I love the "MX" thing - you have to have the smile surgically removed from your face after hackin down a country road in one - the 5 is slightly lighter, and slightly more powerful and RWD - I imagine its quite a bit better than the 3

if they didnt have that seriously ghei image, id have one later today

supposed to be nice cars, but i think theyre a womans car, to be honest...

A genuine drivers car but somehow also manages to be womans car.

I put mans car, quite simply because RWD is not for girls

But if there was a both option I would have chose that straight away.

Cars dont have genders you ignrnt whippersnappers.

If the MX5 is somehow "gay" or "girly" then Id say the entire UK has a bit of song and dance in them, as yall spent several decades buiding similar roadsters.

Its a damn fine car and fun to drive, but if youre a dude, it helps to grow a set of balls and get over yourself before engaging first gear.

max you are right, i would drive one.

but then again i dont care

Im of the opinion that anyone that drives a car less powerful has no right to claim the car girly, its plain jealousy really and pretty stupid. If it has more power, it is more manly than your car, simple.

Id drive a pink sparkly Ferrari quite happily as Im sure anyone without a penis complex would.

The main reason I wont buy an MX-5 is this:





its pretty much at the top of the list, when it comes to "My next car"

its got about 100bhp more than the MX-5 (websites vary, but between 237 / 246 / enough ) it does 9000rpm and is also Rear Wheel Drive. it also benefits from an electric roof, something lacking in the MX-5 (excluding the new one, launched last November)

The Honda misses the boat. The MX5 is a roadster. If you want a sports car, get that. Or alternately get the MX5 and those balls I mentioned.

Gorgeous

Im still in 2 minds about the mx-5, ok you can say it dont matter but theres still a prevalent hairdressers car opinion of it, and Im shallow enough not to want that image. But then its a very elegant car, and if the handlings as good as it looks from the passenger seat itd be a nice step up.
