"no asian, people"
Daily driving the mx5 have been fun most times.
Need to clarify what the mx5, be it NA/NB/NC is to me first.
This is a sports car:
Also this:
This is a convertible:
This is also a convertible:
This too:
The mx5 is a roadster. Two doors, rear wheel drive, and a drop top.
Like this roadster:
This roadster:
And this roadster:
Wait a minute!!! Yep... need to confirm from the youngsters... yes the Noddster is way cool!
Driving any roadster as a daily will have disadvantages, as discussed previously (lack of space, only one passenger etc) which I agree with.
There are other disadvantages that haven't been touched on.
1. Driving at night - The Reluctant Headlight Inspector Car.
The car sits low, probably the lowest car I have ever owned. You will be dazzled by every other car following you and facing you. Probably a reason why I never see other MX5's being dríven at night, ever!
2. Little Car Syndrome
Being such a small, low car, it's like a tiny yappy dog, bounding here and there. I tend to drive it more aggressively than other cars, just to exude some road presence. Rorty Exhaust is the bark
3. Peak Hour Fumes & Truck Transmissions.
Convertible/Cabriolet/roaster, whatever it is it is no fun with the top down sitting in peak hour at any time. Tops on most other times when there's traffic lights or idling, especially when raining.
4. Footwell? I thought that is half a coffin.
Not the biggest and most comfortable footwell to live with on a daily basis, just don't wear huge shoes I guess.
5. Pointless sunvisors
Half the height of 'normal' visors, blocks half the windscreen when down..
6. Hat and Sunnies - SP50+ Mandatory.
It's not a fashion statement.
That's what I can think of right now.
