.I like cars that combine a number of qualities
Look Great
Handle Well
Perform Well
and there are loads that do all three
but the killer is character, they need to have that little bit of magic and IMO this is where the MX5 falls down in spades.
It is designed to look good (ish), handle well (ish) and perform well (ish) but it has no special character. It it a copy of so much that has gone before with nothing really new other, nothing inspirational, nothing that makes me want one - its pastiche, a good one but still a pastiche.
But against the Lotus Élan made famous by Diana Rigg aka Emma Peel of The Avengers, no comparator on which its lines appear to have copied.
