Hi,

I have owned two MX5's. Both were Japanese imports. The first was a NA 1.6 which lasted around 6 months before I got bored with it. I then moved on to a turbo charged 1.6. This was able to pull just under 200 BHP and had several other Modifications such as suspension and clutch also. This made it a completely different car and was much more fun to drive.

I have now moved on to a Mitsubishi GTO 3 litre twin turbo. This is a 1997 model and with its 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steer is a fantastic car. It can be driven sedately or can be really pushed. It is VERY comfortable to ride in and can be switched between touring or sports suspension simply by pushing a button. The exhaust note can be changed also from quiet to a bit noisy, again by pushing a button. It also provides ASC and has cruise control with a six speed manual gearbox. It can pull 100mph in third, and gets to 60 in around 5 seconds in its standard form.

I'd go for one of these rather than a "normal" car any day.

The MX5 was OK, but only once it had been modified.
