2tongues I suppose it could be the same with MX5's??? Never driven one they just look rubbish IMHO.
Aha, there's the problem. Looks are very subjective, but I guarantee that if you drove one you'd have a big smile on your face ! Haven't got much power but they handle very sweetly.

No way can a 1.6 litre be better than 3.2 litres when both handle fantastic an MX5 would be in my opinion a downgrade from what we have had.

I don't know what to go for yet. Mazda will be better on fuel i guess. But the 200sx will have the power and will still be pretty much the same on fuel/insurance.
The whole point of my changing car would be for a better fuel consumption so mazda or a 1.6 vtec civic i guess.

I have driven a boxster, a 911 and a 976 (think its a 976???) they where all great but never really did it for me! Boxster had great handling but i have never really been that keen on porshe's, don't know why? don't get me wrong they are great cars but not really my cup of tea.

I don't think that about the MR2 though, they look pretty good (especially the ones with the curved rear screen, not sure which version they are)

I'm the same with the MX5, doesn't matter how good it is to drive (which I must admit it is) just couldn't bring myself to actually own one because of the way it looks.
