test drove mx-5
I test drove the new mx-5 and was very disappointed. I had read all the great reviews and expected much more from this car. The mx-5 does not compare very well with the 370Z in my opinion. I didn't hate the car, just wasn't for me.
Pros - quick acceleration, body style, price, steering, fun to drive short term, top down, fuel economy
cons - you had to shout to have a conversation, ride quality over bumps, very hard to get in and out, very tight cabin and not very comfortable, a long trip would not be much fun
I'm sure this would be a fun car driving through the north GA mountains, and you can't argue the history of the car. It really comes down to preference, the car was just not right for us, the Z however definitely was.
