I am thinking of buying myself one of the above. Does anyone who owns one have any advice/opinions. If l buy a nearly new second hand model ie 05/06 is there anything in particular l should look out for as well as the normal types of things.
Plus are there any UK owners websites that might be worth checking out

It is widely reported in the motoring press that the MX5 is one of THE best buys around now. Not dear to buy, good to drive, very reliable, and not too expensive to run either. Have not heard of any major nasties on them, but at that age you will be buying from a reputable dealer, probably even a Mazda one, and the car will still be in its original 3 year warranty, so you should be quite safe. I'd go for it, if you do not need back seats or a huge boot, it is a cracking car!
