Mazda MX-5

Mazda MX-5

All good, basically, but pre-1998 Mazda MX-5s should be avoided, as should dodgy imports

What to look for
Tempting though it may be, steer clear of the sub-five grand cheap MX-5s as they're likely to end up costing you. But go for the previous generation (post-1998), and you've got a solid bit of finely balanced fun. Make sure the roof is sound as that's pricey to replace and insist on a full Mazda history.

Used Prices
With there being a big difference between the new car's prices and the last of the old model's used values, two to four year old examples are still popular. This means are making more money than our prices below suggest.
