It is based on an Americans view so how important is it really. Seriously, how can a car that is not even released make No. 2. This would appear to be an Infovertisment.

The same bloke also did Top 10 Best BMWs of All Time, Top 10 Best European Sports Cars of the ’80s, Top 10 Japanese Sports Cars of the ’90s, Top 10 Honda Civics of All Time sounds like a pattern...

The writer got his degree in 2003, a potential Top Gear presenter I don't think so. If you want a laugh read his Linkedin profile, full of self importance. I would be worried if he rated my MX5 the highest now I know something about the author.

No, I think he got the #1 version right, but then, I'm 100% biased.

I was surprised when OP's profile didn't say they had an SE...

It seems to be largely based on what the writer thinks was the coolest looking MX5. I remember when the NC was first released one of the main car magazines did a compaison at Wakefiled between the NC and SE and if my memory serves me correctly the NC lapped around 1 second quicker then the SE with the same driver.

Did they not get the Clubman is the USA?

The Clubman was named the R Package in the US.

The best MX5 is the one with ceramic coated headers/turbo, Lokiel approved 17" wheels if it is a NA and built to all the suggestions from this forum and MT net.

Oh, so not an MX5 at all then.... a Franken-beast of assembled parts and modifications that essentially renders what the factory delivered as being excess metal and dead weight... yeah, that model is awesome!

Problem is it could never be built, imagine trying to get the whole of this forum to agree on something

So many sour grapes in one thread :lol:

Similar to getting laws passed through...

BTW everyone should have a racing suit that matches the colour of their car ;)

Magpie, you're already ahead
