Nothing compares to this

Owned the MX 5 for 13 years now. It’s been a joy and only a sticking front brake calliper being a problem. Still love the car even though I’ve entered my seventh decade. It goes through MOT’s without an issue, gets a yearly service, and off I go. Would I change it, no need, it’s been garaged, still looks like new, and a pleasure to drive. The Yokohama Advans are original and have been faultless, they have plenty of tread, but will be replaced this year due to their age. The mark 3 is a good looking car, value for money as a used buy and there is nothing else to compare it with regarding fun, reliability and all round performance. If you want a open top sports car why consider anything else. Just go get one.
