2007 soft top GT. I've had this car since new, loved every minute that i've had the pleasure of owning it, drives & handles like a dream. Purchased this car with the optional sports suspention package that came with the bigger blistien shocks, LSD, traction control, & stability control. Got the side sill extenssions & the front & rear extentions, really a sharp looking car. I get more complements on the appearance of this car now than i did when i bought it 13 years ago. Millage on vehicle is 68000 klms, always garaged & car covered when no...Read more

Bought this rare marble white series 1 NC back in 2009 when it had 42,000kms on the odometer. Having travelled a further 68,000 kms through Vic, SA, NSW and Tasmania, I can honestly say this is an exceptionally reliable car and a real fun driving experience. Also a good touring car albeit not a very practical one. I love the handling although it me some time to learn to drive fast on winding roads ( I have always been a very cautious driver ). Generally the car has been economical recording around 7 litres per 100kms on two interstate trips and...Read more

For a short time I owned both these models so can give you an unbiased opinion. I brought a 2005 red Mk3 with black leather 4 years ago, and love it. Paid $24k from a dealer and its mint condition with 60,000k on the clock. 2 years prior to that I brought a used import Mk2 brought privately for $8k with 140,000km, and loved that too, never had any problems with either apart from tyres and a new batteries. The 1.8 litre Mk2 felt (and was) older and slower, but easier to drive. The doors were also lower and no rollover hoops, so you felt a bit...Read more

I'm not going to write a really long winded review - google NC MX5 and you'll find millions. The car is brilliant, handles fantastically out of the box, looks good, is damned cheap to service, and near indestructible. I've owned a number of turbo cars, so in a straight line it is a little underpowered.
As far as breathing modifications go, I've added a quality rear muffler, headers, and high flow panel filter. Interior I've added lambswool seat covers (yes, daggy, but leather is sticky and hot!) and a quality Pioneer infotainment unit with GPS...Read more

I have owned a 2009 soft top MX5 NC for the past 8 months and have found it to be a highly enjoybale everyday car to drive. Whether driving to work or exploring back roads the car has been practically faultless. The car feels so connected to the road and the slightest inputs are translated through the steering wheel. I have found the power to be more than adequate even when on holiday loaded up with luggage and 2 people. The car idles very well on the freeway at 6th gear. I believe manual should be the only option for this car since the 6 speed...Read more

Have never been a rev head and its never really worried me what car I got from A to B in. A mate of mine asked me to look after his NB whilst on holidays and said to me to take it out on a nice day if I wanted, big mistake! Perfect sunny day, top down, driving through the windey mountain roads, I was hooked! The minute I got home, I was online looking for one for myself. Bought an NC model and I've never been so interested in the weather too. Im continuously looking at the weather forecast hoping the weekend's going to be sunny so I can take my...Read more

900,000 people world wide can’t be wrong. Mazda now holds the Guinness Book record for the manufacture of light weight sports Roadsters and only after 3 major updates. Mazda must be proud of the progress in the evolution of such a great sports roadster. I look forward to the next update with Sky Engine and Gearbox enhancements! The British may had held the title in the 60s but Mazda has reinvented the concept and it only gets better with each evolution. "Jinba Ittai" - Rider and Horse as one is the perfect war cry for this fantastic ride.

Great car to drive, looks really nice it really hugs the road. Plenty of accessories to add bling if you want to and the power hardtop is a must have. And only 12 seconds to retract/raise too. For the price of this type of car compared to other makes, it's a steal. LED lamps would have been nice, but you can add them later. Tight braking, cruise control and great cornering make this one enjoyable car to drive. Great for touring, boot space limited, but then, it IS a sports car!
Great handling and the engine sounds excellent, but that's what thi...Read more

The MX-5 is a great 2 seat sports car for anyone looking for great performance and a fun drive for the $50k mark. The PRHT - power retractable hardtop gives piece of mind over the rag top and when up gives the car a nice coupe style. Mine is going on three years old and has never had any mechanical issues or time off the road. Watch out for the rattle in the roof latch system. Mazda will fix this for free under warranty and will look after with this after the warranty period...so i have been told.
If you are looking for ways to add some bling ...Read more
