I certainly don't agree about the Fiat knock off of Mazda, the MX5 is a superior car all round. Unlike some on here who lambaste any non Fiat, I tend back up with facts. The 124 engine for starters is old hat, the emissions were not good either. There were better cheaper bargains to be had with the Mazda, the very fact that Mazda had been doing this for a long time & well.
I certainly don't dislike the Fiat, I just feel the Mazda does it better. No doubt the non Fiat haters will go into detail & use phrases that are rarely heard on most of other car forums, to slag off other car marks. I genuinely find it quite bizarre, still, if it makes some happy!!!
Just my thoughts..
