Is it not so that we all agree that MX-5's are great cars?

When you turn your car on, does it return the favour?

No SP? List is invalid.

The SP was Australia only and the person making the list is based in the US.

The SPs only moment of fame was a bolt on turbo it lacks all the finesse and goodies of the SE :lol:

Keep smiling Lizard....until the day an SP whooshing by absolutely wipes the smile off your face!

A standard SE is just a pretender....the SP is the real thing.

Anyhow, I have the best of both worlds, an SP with a Torsen and SE Bilstein shocks/springs and swaybars!

Mike Schlee,
Road Test Editor - If it has wheels, Mike will drive it. Having written professionally for several years, he joins the AutoGuide team as the Road Test Editor. The only thing Mike likes better than pawing all over the latest and greatest automobiles is driving them; a lot – over long distances. Testing and evaluating cars is a tough gig, but someone’s got to do it.
I believe he asked his boyfriend for imput on the article. They first met when he still worked at the hair salon. :lol:

You know there was a reason the SE owner removed them in the first place..... :wink:
