MAZDA MX-5 NAMED 'BEST USED CONVERTIBLE'

Rivervale Mazda in Brighton is expecting a rush of customers looking for a breath-taking drive after the Mazda MX-5 was named ‘Best Roadster’ in the 2008 Auto Express Used Car Honours.  This is the third successive year the Mazda MX-5 has won the coveted award. 

 

The honour comes just weeks after the judges from the UK’s best-selling weekly automotive magazine selected the Roadster Coupe version for critical acclaim, naming the iconic sports car as ‘Best Convertible’ in the 2008 Auto Express New Car Honours.

 

“The Mazda MX-5 is a legendary sports car and a great buy whether new or used, so it’s no surprise it receives these top accolades year after year,” enthused Malcolm Hance dealer principal at Rivervale Mazda in Victoria Road.  “The MX-5 beat the Porsche Boxter and Audi TT to take the ‘Best Roadster’ crown, so that shows just how special it is.”

 

Commenting on the Mazda MX-5’s victory, Auto Express stated: “In 1989, Mazda took everything that made the British Lotus Elan great, then added superb reliability and a low price to the package.  Not only is the MX-5 the world's best-selling sports car, it has also won over us loyal Brits.  It’s poised to knock the classic MGB off the top spot for both popularity and parts supply in the UK.  The problem our judges faced come ‘decision time’ was choosing between the current and previous generations of the MX-5 –– the Mazda is a fantastic choice and a thrilling drive.”

 

The Mazda MX-5 is the world’s most popular open-top sports car, offering the excitement of sports car driving with the added benefits of refinement, security, reliability and affordability.  The third generation model also has improved fuel economy and reduced CO2 outputs, thanks to Mazda’s weight-reducing ‘gram strategy’.  The soft-top can be opened and closed in just a few seconds, while the Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe boasts the world’s fastest-folding powered retractable hard-top ­­–– up or down in just 12 seconds.  

 

The current Mazda MX-5 range offers customers a line-up of soft-top models priced from £15,750 on-the-road or Roadster Coupe models priced from £18,600.  Buyers can choose from three powertrains and a range of individual options and packages.

 

Accepting the latest award for Mazda UK, marketing director Mark Cameron commented: “In the UK, the iconic two-seater, rear-wheel drive Mazda MX-5 sports car continues to be hugely popular with both the public and media.  It delivers on the promise of thrilling open-air motoring, with everyday reliability and modest running costs.”
