Pros and cons. A friend lives in Germany and has driven MX5s most of his life and loves them. He now also has a 99 viper GTS which is his more powerful Autobahn and weekend cruiser.
Mx5 is more everyday fun while the viper can provide thrills.
There is always a compromise somewhere. The fact I can daily drive this car year round, take it to track days, Hoon back roads and drive it to work all while averaging around 28mpg is a win for me.
Winter use I'm sitting around 23mpg or 9L/100 with added idle time warming up, winter tires etc.
