Well, didn’t expect that amount of interest, my mate has a modded mx5 at 250ish bhp, that’s an animal, we have looked at mx’s But prefer the S2’s 9k rev limiter and driving fun, and there’s a bit more cabin/boot space, tried a Caymann but wife didn’t the roof, it was fixed! Boxster just too dear for me, tried the Rx8 a couple of times, had a friends car for a week and it too had a roof but hot start issues and oil consumption was a worry so we passed, although we loved the 4 door set up, and it went well. Having worked in a Honda dealer I had the inside track on prices so between a 34% discount on a new one and a buyer sent my way by work for the older one it was a no brainier to renew the car, only car we’ve owned that she would go out in purely for a drive on her own, prices are rising and now it’s 12 year ld I’m only on a £3k loss at the moment. Keep the oil checked, the alignment correct with decent tyres, respect the vtec kick in the wet and it’s a hoot, even at my age.
