Hello All

I have taken a test drive in a Mazda MX5 sport nav.

Arranging the test drive was a matter of simply going to the Mazda website, selecting a vehicle to test, choosing a date and then awaiting the car and representative to arrive at the appointed time. The rep is not a salesman and simply facilitates the test drive and answers any questions.

The roof lowers with the operation of one clip being released and then clicks securely into place at rest behind the driving compartment.

There is a six speed gearbox with a very short throw. The clutch is light and responsive.

Steering and handling is excellent. A grin appeared during the test.

If I wish to take it further the process is to complete a form of specification, it is then submitted to 7 dealers who bid blind for the chance to sell the car.

I am awaiting a booking for a test drive of a Porsche Boxster.

It will have to go some to exceed the experience to date of the Mazda.

I post progress.
