    Ha, it's like Jeremy was talking to some of the guys on this forum :
    I realise that the hairy-chested among you will be scoffing and tutting and heading straight for this column on the internet so you can speak your mind. You will say “girl’s car” and “****” and all sorts of other things.

    Well, that’s fine. You waste your money on a Mustang or a Ferrari. The fact is that if you want a sports car, the MX-5 is perfect. Nothing on the road will give you better value. Nothing will give you so much fun. The only reason I’m giving it five stars is because I can’t give it 14.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Good article

    I trust Clarkson with a car review. I like his tv series. Especially the one where he destroys an old 911... Beats the crap out of it, shoots it, wrecks it...

    New concept Miata from Mazda Europe (looks like it has a big grin, doesn't it?)....

    Interesting... don't imagine that's a whole lot of fun to drive in the rain... or when it's buggy out!

    Doors are lacking interior panels - very much a concept car then.

    A miata is on my very short list of possible replacements for my 94 civic, when it finally decides it's had enough.

    That concept looks cool, but I wouldn't drive it without a full face helmet. I hate bugs in my teeth!

    But when driving cars like this, it brings a smile to your face that is hard to control.

    About 43k LOADED. Over 500 horsepower. Does not scream chick.
    43K for a ham fisted excuse of a throwback design that will fall apart in a few years. Give me a break. I would take two Miatas or 1 slightly used Boxter S before I even took a ride in that piece of ****. :rolleyes:
