• Car for missus 8 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  The missus is after a new car to replace an aged, but still in very nice nick, Cinqecento. She wants a sporty car, preferably a Mazda MX 5. Budget is reasonably flexible but I think £8000 to £12000 is in the ball park. So, is it worth getting the 1.8i 'S' over the base model? It's got an LSD
