Bloody hell! Brings new meaning to the old addage 'Jap Crap'! You can really see the Ford influence there - as Hondas are much better (as long as you don't get the rubber underseal damaged and not checked and repaired, as then they rust under that and fall apart before you know it!).

Our F's and TF's (even given the later ones Project Drive lack of any kind of decent rust protection) don't rust anywhere near as badly!

Isn't the 5 more like the MGB and the F closer to a MR2?

Rumour has it that Mazda got an élan and stripped it down and modernised it for the mx5.

Also, without googling it, what does mx5 mean??
