Funny that, Some of us have looked in a few times however, None the less, I guess a fair few don't have an opinion.

I own an NC1 but if I had a choice and pricing was all the same I would take the NC3.

In Crystal White Pearl of course. Mazda Australia didn't bring this colour here till at least NC2 I think

There was a white NC1 (saw one for sale in Vic a couple of years ago), but I'm not sure if the colour was Crystal White Pearl.

No it's marble white which is more of a cream/off white colour

I'll vote NC1
I like the NC3 front bumper the most but it's not available with a softtop. The NC2 smiley face just doesn't do it for me

When I was looking for an NC, I knew straight away I wouldn't buy an NC2 because of the front bar - I really don't like the corporate Mazda front end. NC1 bar looks in tune with the rest of the car though. The NC1 is an exceptionally good looking car as soon as you change the wheels and ride height - the best looking MX-5 made imo, especially with the sloping angle of the boot on the PRHT - although that's obviously completely subjective!

The NC doesn't have a 'popular face'.
The 'cool kids' (NA & NB) kind of ignore it and so it tends to hang with it's NC mates or have lunch on it's own.
But looks aren't everything, its got a good heart and is reliable, even if it is carrying a bit too much weight.

I forgot I made this poll!

I've put in a pic of my current Roadster. Unfortunately due to an unforeseen change in my financial situation due to work - I'm on the edge of having to put it on the market. LOVE this car to death, its just wicked and sounds fantatastic at 4k rpm.. its got this infectious growl!! But one needs $$ to keep a Porsche on the road :oops: so I'm thinking for the next few years my next best Roadster choice is a NC1!

It'll be hard to say goodbye.. but with only 4 years to go till no mortgage, a Porsche can wait till then. In the meantime, I think the NC1 will be my next Roadster. It's also become my preferred version of the car I think.

So there we have it!
