In 2005 when SWMBO and I were looking for a "fun" car our first choice was an MX5. When we drove it on the expressways for a while, however, we found that it took a real buffeting from the cross-winds and tractor trailers, which we found unsettling. Instead we bought a BMW Z4 which felt much more stable at speed and on the expressway. We still have the Z4 a picture of which I posted in this thread. Nevertheless, I still like the design of the MX5, especially the latest model which looks quite muscular compared with the older models.
