Hello from the sunny south coast

#1

Post by wifesgotone »

Hi my wifes got one - I gave her an incentive to pass her driving test by promising her a sports car. She passed her test and for the first year drove a lovely little Matiz. After a year she wanted an MX5 but managed to persuade her on a beautiful 2006 Coupe - only 31,000 miles and immaculate condition - sold by the dealer as ex demo at 800 miles then 1 lady owner ever since. It's only a 1600cc so not exactly a sports car but cheap insurance for a 1 year driver - she loves the car. We have done the brake switch recall and had a leak develop in a rear caliper which has been replaced and new pads all round so hoping for reliable performance from now on. Sounds the part when you blip the throttle - ride is a bit hard - do the later cars improve on the hard ride ??

First of all welcome to the club ;)
I went from a Gen 3.5 to an SIII and the ride is slightly softer, adding a front strut bar more than makes up for this in the corners however.It's not that expensive and take all of 5min to fit.
