Comparison of Pros & Cons
Pros
  1. HANDLING - The famed Mazda philosophy of Jinba-Ittai is perfectly demonstrated in the Mazda MX-5. The driving position is spot on, and the adjustable steering wheel means finding the perfect driving position that much easier for a boost in confidence in car control. The lack of mass also translates into agility and the ability to negotiate corners more precisely. In simple words, it’s fun to drive!
  2. RELIABLITY - Mazda has always been known to have superb build quality and reliability. The 5-year warranty and the 5-year free service is testament to the confidence Mazda have in their vehicle line up. Mazda MX-5 is kept mechanically simple yet robust in its construction. Built entirely from Japan in the hands of Mazda’s Takumi, that is the least we can expect from Mazda.
  3. DESIGN - Mazda’s timeless Kodo: Soul of Motion design philosophy is perfectly illustrated in the Mazda MX-5. In a process called Takuminuri (Takumi: master craftsman, Nuri: painting), cutting-edge painting technology is able to replicate Mazda’s best craftsmen techniques to give the Mazda MX-5 a high-quality and hand-sprayed-like finish, enhancing the sophistication of the Kodo design. And being a roadster, you will definitely standout with the top down!

Cons
  1. PRACTICALITY- If you are concerned about the number of cupholders and boot space available on the Mazda MX-5, perhaps you are shopping at the wrong vehicle category entirely. Space, or the lack thereof, has and always will be a complaint. Rather, it is a deliberate engineering design choice, to make the car as compact and as nimble as possible. Anyone above 180 cm will certainly find it a tight squeeze.
  2. PERFORMANCE- In the world of turbocharging and electrification, even the purists have to admit that they could use a little more power in the Mazda MX-5. While naturally aspirated engines will always provide the purest engine response, the 184 PS from its 2.0-litre engine appears modest on paper.
  3. RIDE COMFORT- Like most sportscars, the ride is not tuned for comfort in mind. Malaysian-spec Mazda MX-5s comes with a conservatively-sized 205/45 R17 wheel which should dampen out some of the harsher bumps on the road. However, senior citizens looking at a Mazda MX-5 as your retirement car might want to go for a test drive to discover your tolerance level.
