I've only driven the original one (and a pretty battered example at that!), but I thought it was a great little car!

I thought the 320d got car of the year, and the MX5 got roadster of the year

Yep 320d got the car of the year, MX5 is best open top.

Really preferred the previous two incarnations of the MX5 though, think they've uglified it a bit!

You need to see a Mk3 "in the flesh" (you really, really do!)

IMHO, and as a long-time owner of a Mk1, the Mk3 is an absolutely spot-on update, but the Mk2 wasn't needed (and the decision to drop the pop-up headlights called for beheadings )

I think that decision was made by some safety council or other...
Pedestrians and pop-up headlights don't get on too well.
