Why is the MX5 called "a bit dull" and "bland" ? Is that not unfair to the most popular roadster ever built and risks missing out on a very capable little car?
They are not overtly fast but are really good fun to drive due to the intimacy of all the controls, handling finesse and great revvy engines. They are superbly reliable and dependable too, which i guess canbe confused as lacking in character, but dull or bland? Hardly.
I'd not pick one over a Morgan personally but they are great fun little cars without any real downsides. We took ours on a driving holiday when our old MGB decided to break - 2000 miles in a week and every mile was a delight. ( didn't have a Morgan then!)
Lets not forget that one of the nicest gearboxes Morgan have ever used comes from an MX5. Anyone who has sampled a Morgan so fitted knows exactly how good that is - just think - they make cars as well! Every home should have one!
