New car

I have just got the funds to buy a brand new car :D Now I have a lovely little mini at the moment but am thinking about a two seater sports car. Any one know anything about these, which are the best and easiest to drive etc. I dont want anything really flashy but now I just have me to think about I dont really need anything big or with back seats.

Depends on budget of course but Mazda's MX5 has always rated highly, 2 seater soft top with style and excellent handling. There is also Toyota's MR2 but personally I think it's pug ugly Smile

Classy56, I don't wish to appear picky but that image is larger than the size permitted.

You will find it a hard job to beat the Mazda's MX5, it's with out a doubt a lady's car and although it has been around for a few years, still gets lots of admiring glances, with low running costs and good performance and handling, it's one of Top Gear's best rated cars.

It's rear wheel drive so a favourite amongst "drivers".
Whatcar mag, gave it 5 out of 5 stars for Ride and Handling, Buying and Owning, Quality and Reliability and 4 out of 5 stars for Performance, Refinement, Safety and Security, Improvement in the Cabin, the only points it lost were to being a two seater (lack of space) and Equipment (not plush).

As it is a Mazda (Japanese) it is superbly reliable and was at the top of the sports car list for its outstanding engineering for years.

Air-con isn't standard so look out for one with, if second hand.

It has now been around for nearly 18 years, so that speaks for it's self.

PS.
i'm not a car salesman, just recognise a good car when i see it.

The latest MX 5 comes with the option of a folding tin-top. In my view preferable to a rag top.

See Here.

Who said I didn't have the money? (quote from classy) sorry I dont know how to do bits at a time so I just copied and pasted the bit I wanted Embarassed

That pic looked like a lovely yacht to me, dont know why, it just did Sad

I thought it would cost millions thats why I said If you had the money, as if you did have millions to spend on a yacht I'm sure you wouldnt be contributing on a forum but would be on the open ocean somewhere sunny. Didnt mean to be rude Crying or Very sad
