Thanks John, but I have tried a CX and as I reported here I was most impressed by it. A serious sports car designed to be driven fast so not what I am thinking of now. I want something that will give me fresh air, will be slow fun to drive and wont have me getting out and under to maintain. Thats why the MX5 is on the list. Reliable, easy main dealer service, good hood, boot, nice engine and gearbox.
