In a recent survey carried out by Whatcar? magazine, the Mazda MX-5 was voted the convertible least likely to go wrong. The survey which covered a wide variety of models from BMW’s, Audi’s, Porsche and Mercedes to the more modest Hyundai Coupe.
Awarding the roadster 5 stars and claiming only 6 out of 100 owners of the 1998-2005 model suffer problems, the magazine also declared that the MX-5 was one of quickest cars to repair and costs on average, a relatively modest £256 to put right.
