Haven't driven the new MX5, but we've owned a couple of Miatas in the
past.
Great, fun little cars with handling that could stand a few more ponies up
front. I'm thinking the new car might be about right at--what--170bhp?


118kW plenty for a bigger car that actually weighs less than the older
models thanks to ally suspension and careful weight trimming.


Indeed. The car is slightly longer, but lighter. Nice Mazda engineering.
