I'm not really a fan of leather, but I did consider the AWD. Then I realised that I don't go out if the weathers bad so it really wasn't an issue

As I understand it fourbanks has a Sport Black, as do I. This is a limited edition that has black full leather seats with electric adjustable drivers seat which is excellent if you share a car, black door mirrors and a gt style rear spoiler. However, I assume in order to keep the cost down, missing...

Hi strangways, think I prefer the growl, to me the new sound is less exhaust more of a transmission noise, difficult to describe of course. Unless there is an issue with mine. Or the growl covered up the transmission. I am new to auto boxes not sure what is normal. I will turn down the Bose and hav...

I don't think it impacts on anything apart from reduced running costs and less emissions. It switches off and it switches on, it saves me money (albeit only a small amount) I cannot understand why anybody complains. Maybe they are just grumpy old men with nothing better to do.

Thankyou Strangways. I know what you mean but I have had 7 MX5s from a Mk 1 to the latest(which I consider to be the best yet). Who knows,I might get back in one! For the type of car it is, the CX3 drives and handles so well and the steering and gear change have at least a bit of MX5 about them. Pl...
