Lol, so you know all about the mx5 smile then! Salesman quoted that line and I thought cheesy but it's the truth.
So do you get your hands dirty or use that silver tongue of yours?
That gt is nice, what's it like to drive? We saw a few limited editions in the showroom and I'm liking the rear diffuser and other little touches. The seating position is great with everything close to hand!
I am a salesman, but I'm one of the geeky ones that loves selling a car based on it's technical attributions as apposed to the badge engineering.
Yep, there is an MX5 smile. I don't use the line myself, but we find that most people have decided what car they want to buy long before they come into a showroom. For new cars people tend to see that as the final deal do-er after online research etc.
GT was great to drive, dare I say it perfect as a race ready weekend car. I've driven it around Rockingham, on the road, in a competitive hill climb and it has been faultless. That said, for a daily drive it is quite raw and I would much rather a sport tech.
Limited editions are a common theme with the MX5, dare I say you'd be mad to buy a standard car with all the special editions they make.
The MX5 doesn't have the interior thrills of the TT or the Merc and nor does it have the power, it's got climate, bose, a phone, cruise control and electric windows.
There's 158BHP and one of the best mass production chassis ever made. That's it. And for me that's why the MX5 has survived, it's stayed true to it's roots. The recipe for what makes a good sports car hasn't changed in 60 years; the MX5 has been the top dog for the last 22 years and is the best selling two seater sports car in history. That kind of says it all really
If anybody says they're gay or that they're girls cars; it's probably because they've never driven one or are bitter because they wouldn't stand a chance of keeping up on a good B road.
Tell her to get one, she'll be hooked for life.
(Do I sound like a salesman now? Feature dumping and cliche phrases, you're lucky I didn't mention Jinba Ittai.)
