2009 Freelander 2 TD4_e HSE Manual Lago Grey

New MX5

had my new MX5 about 4 weeks now ( done about 1500mls already !! )

MX5 Sport Graphite 2 litre coupe.

must say overall very impressed and everything I expected and more.

but it is a bit thirsty even compared to my FL2, but hey ho !!

Nice one

Always respected the MX5. Interestingly, I read an article in a car magazine that said an MX5 they had on test was fitted with winter tyres and was awesome in snow despite being RWD. Not that you need that having the FL2! LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

thanks Doc,

I've been considering one for a long time and have read up and test drove a lot of others, Z4, TT, etc

but for us the overall MX5 package always came out on top for one reason or another, and when I saw the Sport Graphite it was everything I needed.

we really enjoyed a trip to Chester via the Lake District and had the roof down a lot which was awesome.

Reliability has always been a strong point with the MX5 as I understand. Did the dealer offer you a good deal? Any extras thrown in such as free servicing or GAP insurance etc?

yes happy with the deal, and Mazda put in a contribution as part of their September promotion.

think it has brought a bit of fun back to my driving experience which over the years has reduced without me noticing !!

will look at putting up some pictures, but could be beyond my skills !

The MX5 has always been good for those lazy summer drives for not a massive outlay compared to its rivals.

Not the type of car I go for but a nice little bit of fun none the less. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200
