    I traded in my mustang GT 5.0 for this model, the exhilaration, fun factor, exceeds my expectations 1000% ❤

      Would love to try the Mustang out but alas Ford are one of a couple of cars companies who aren’t interested in loaning me cars. Hopefully one day that will change! Thanks for watching!

    Slight correction - the extra sound is not pumped into the cabin through the speakers, it is real sound from the sound tube. The airbag was modified slightly to allow more nouse to come in. All authentic.

    When you upscale the shift and brake boot from Redline Goods with matching leather, get the padded leather armrest. It will prevent accidental switch activation, allow for a nice comfortable arm rest and look very nice.

    Nice review! I have a 2022 MX-5 GT soft top. The boot is fine. My wife and I took it on a 5 week interstate road trip. The boot has a narrow opening, but it’s deep and wide. It can hold two typical airline carry-on bags and some small back packs. It’s no SUV, but you sacrifice some convenience for a huge amount of fun.

    Hey, your steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car. You can deliver mail in that car. Good for you. Maybe deliver newspapers too. I would still prefer the wheel on the standard left side, but to each their own. I still like the MX5. I prefer all analog gauges. Also, I wouldn't need to have electric seats. I like the RF version, and would probably leave the roof up all the time. I would also have the windows all tinted so nobody would be staring at me.

    You may wish to temper the manual fanboy comments Alex. I love driving and until a dissolving spine got the better of me, was manual only. I have test driven an MX-5 a few times, but folding in and fairly ‘base model Mazda2’ platform turned me off. I decided to cut my losses. Relieve my dysfunctional back and purchase an E88 BMW 135i with the dreaded N54 engine. Even as an automatic, I am going to have to curb my enthusiasm, but the good thing is my useless left leg can stay useless as it has a clutch less manual mode. With some upgrades coming to freshen her up I will gladly take you on around any twisty road you like in your MX-5. Let’s see whose smile is bigger at the end of the run. Lloyd
