They’re definitely a car that should be experienced if you’re a petrolhead though.

Before I started looking on the Z4 website I wanted a Audi TT, the front wheel drive put me off. Oddly the wife recently saw one and said that it didn’t look as nice as my Z4. :D I seriously like the look of them. Anyone for a short back and sides.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

Same here, if Mazda had only made it a tad larger say Z3 size as it always to me looks a little too toy like on the road.

Fiat 124

The badge on the boot lid spoils it for me, also think it has a small engine so preformance could be from it being light weight and nimble

I think the 124 Spyder looks so much better than the MX5.

But sadly the Mazda could have a 2 litre N/A engine and an LSD whereas the Fiat has a 1.4 Turbo and no LSD unless you buy the Abarth, so I imagine the Mazda would be a better drive.
