Areas for improvement: Crap speakers and rattles in the boot / rough ride
The new generation of MX5 is beautiful and the car runs and handles well. The exterior styling is sleek and sporty. I got the leather/sport package and the interior feels rich and cozy.
The speakers however are very rattly and noisy. After repeated attempts by the dealership to repair them, they still rattle and vibrate.
The car has had several rattles and noises. After only a few short months, I've had the car in for service 5 times.
The latches where the convertible top meets the car rattle and vibrate.
There is a noise in the boot that sounds like a bowling ball rolling around.
The car has a very rough ride. This could be due to the run flat tires.
The Bose speakers rattle and vibrate badly.
The running costs for Mazda MX-5 Manual are normal
Other Mazda MX-5
