Have been srsly thinking alot lately about getting an MX-5 instead. Similar car imo. Light, RWD etc. Could pick a decent one up and still have plenty of cash left from $15000
Could buy a stock JDM AE86 or have a very nicely modded mx-5 for less money.
mx-5 is looking better and better everyday. Just looking at this makes me want to drive one with the top down and enjoying the sun.  |
My old housemate had a red/black one stripped full cage, silvertop 2 way lsd. Different league to the mx5. Talented driver helps but it's smelly, incredibly noisy (huge diff ratio -4400rpm at 100) and rose joints everywhere makes for a hot crashy ride. Through the mountains however I doubt I'd get close to him. This car is easy to drive, has ac (get one with p/s if you want more comfort.) Top down is fun in the evening or late arvo.
