I don't really like either but the Australian has more power, higher speed and better everything.

how can you not like the MX-5, its a small, affordable, lightweight, open top sports car that is simply a thrill to drive. these turbo versions just add to the excitement

[junaman]

I've never liked Mazdas or any Japanese cars.
It's just my opinion.

[fpv_gtho]

just out of interest then, what types of cars do you like?

[junaman]

I like most European sport and luxury cars.
Mostly German, British and Italian
