We don't drive cars for their appearance... We drive them coz the experience. I'd never judge a lad for driving an MX5... One of the best drives I've ever had was from Wicklow to Carlow on the backroads in an mx5 and it put the biggest smile on my face ever. More fun than any blast in any subaru ive owned.
I drove one daily bout 2 years back and the most boring corners in my Subaru became the most exhilarating in the mx5. The handling is sublime and you can't beat the RWD tail happiness of them. It genuinely made me a better driver and taught me better car control.
We're judged every day for the cars we drive... Therefore I'd never pass opinion on anyone's choice of car.
Except leggy drivers of course.
