hahahaha

it's a Nissan Tiida :P

Gotta love the flywheel on those things haha, take the foot off the accelerator and it keeps spinning for ages afterwards.

My sister has one, apart from the flywheel they're a decent small car (due to 6 speed gearbox) even if they have no balls :kiss:

Yeah, they're a very functional little car. Due to the fact they're so ugly on the outside, I wasn't even going to look at them in the first place, but a friend had hired one recently and told me that they're definitely worth looking at. So I went to Nissan, and after a proper look inside out I was sold. Wayyyyyyyy better value than the 3/Focus I was also considering.

As for the revs holding for so long -- I think it's actually also to do with the electronic throttle - it takes quite a bit of getting used to and to be honest I'm not a big fan but you eventually don't pay attention to it. They don't have much balls compared to a performance car but I think they go pretty damn well for what they are, I can have 4 adults in the car comfortably, air con on, and don't have to give it a hiding to get anywhere.. close ratio box ftw!

      I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol

      It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.

      I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility

      I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...

      Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something
