Mazda's magnificent new roadster is great fun to drive - Sunday World

And – I couldn’t care less what people thought of me. A young man – well I’m not that young – driving a two-seater convertible brings with it a barrage of abuse. Driving anything sporty with the roof down in Ireland can lead to many looks of disapproval. I was driving the new Mazda MX-5, and if the sunshine in Barcelona wasn’t enough, the car was just glorious. The MX-5 is an iconic car, and Motormouths rank it among the best roadsters of all time. It’s a two-seat sports car for the masses, with an affordable price tag, and go-kart handling that puts a smile on your face every time you drive it. This fourth-generation model has taken the iconic roadster to a new level, and if anything, has... This new MX-5 is definitely one for the boys as it has a much sharper look to go with the reputed handling Mazda’s sporty little number is famed for. There isn’t really anything that competes with it. Yes, you can pit the fabulous Audi TT, BMW Z4 and Mercedes SLK against it, but they are more than €10k more before options. The new MX-5 starts at €27,995 and for that you get the best little roadster around. Source: www.sundayworld.com
