10 Things You Didn't Know About The MX5...

Postby NineElevensies » Fri Feb 14, 2014 6:43 am

I think they mean the general public, not MX owners!. An affectionate look at the 5, starring a nice Mariner Blue example. The British plates make it a '90-'91 model.

Many people also think MX5 is a leak of power front wheels drive and they don't know many small convertiable sport car are based on MX5 design too, including our nemesis S2000 :D

I've actually met people who assume that the MX5 is fast too.

One drive shows them otherwise.

When I had my NA8 a friend of mine refused to believe me when I told him his base model Corolla had a more powerful engine.

Never knew the DB7 thing. Unfortunately it's more sad for the Aston than it is good for the MX5.

The clock thing is a PITA - half considering relocating the hazard light switch and replacing it with a clock.
