Comparatif Mazda MX-5 MGF Fiat Barchetta M6 Turbo 1998 #1 Well, had the zed for a few weeks now so time for a codgatation. Compared to the mk1 mazda the zed has a much more solid heavy feel to it, the dynamics and drive feel very different. The mazda a very light car with sharp steering and nicely weighted , i guess there is more than enough reviews out on the mx5 that i can add much too. The zed, well we did not get off to a very good start. Our tour of the south coast ended in Lymington where the car remained for the week while the rac approved garage sourced an electric radiator fan to replace the fan which was seized, [we had overheated in Winchester but Lymington was closer to our booked hotel in Christchurch] Made use of public transport for the week, shame, it was perfect top down motoring weather. On collecting the car and driving away the abs light was showing on the dash, i returned to be told the light was on when the car was left with them hmmmm, this was 4 in the afternoon so with 330 miles to go i was keen to get on the road, Brimmed the tank at the co-op opposite and set off after. After 2 or 3 miles an intermitent miss arrrrgh, [ could it be rubbish petrol?] Anyway got home safe, time for some troubleshooting. However after a bumpy start am starting to enjoy the zed, couple of trips to the Yorkshire Dales have been great and enjoying the car. In summary,two very different but nice top down cars. Z3I Zorg Legend #2 Did the ABS light go out after a short time? As I've learnt working on various parts of the car, often the ABS warning is triggered by battery being disconnected/reconnected, and then working on a ABS checked part of the car. #3 Drivers Car = MX5 Miniature muscle car = Z3 both have plus and minus points and having owned both i would be more inclined towards the Z3 overall but definitely miss the sweetness of the MX5 #4 I still have a mk1 eunos s ltd great little car very agile compared to the zed. But for distance driving the zed is so much better. #5 Could not agree more, distance driving much better in the zed, garage plugged in lymington plugged in the zed and said rear abs sensors both sides so i have renewed them , new spark plug leads cured the misfire #6 Could not agree more, distance driving much better in the zed, garage plugged in lymington plugged in the zed and said rear abs sensors both sides so i have renewed them , new spark plug leads cured the misfire My mate has an eunos with a mini supercharger it is very lively #7 MX5 ok for tazzing round the lanes, I had one , sweet gear change, but rust like mad. Z3 a better quality car, just spent a month driving across Spain, wouldn't have done that in my fault with the Z3 is the gear change, otherwise I love it ! #8 I had a foot in both camps too. My Eunos was brilliant fun, much more than the heavy Z3. But it nearly impossible to compare the two for all the above reasons. Shame they rotted like they did, but if they didn't, I probably would not be typing this. Tony. #9 I had a MX5 back in the day as did I have a Zed 3 in 1999 The MX5 is much lighter more nimble loves to rev handles really well around country lanes where as a Z3 feels heavier more of a cruiser well it is in a it's much quieter when not reved high and feels happier not being chased around but better on a motorway. Obviously the Z3 is a much better build quality all over mechanical interior body . Hope that helps. Ps the MX5 never went wrong in 3 years nothing at all I heard they rarely do go wrong very reliable. Last edited: Aug 4, 2018 #10 Last week I was on some twisty back roads and an MX5 came up close behind trying to goad me into going for it. Glad I didn't after reading the thread as me and my would have looked stupid. Maybe I need a supercharger ........ #11 Probably less so than someone in a 6 cyl. car mate. The 4 pots are very nimble I believe. Tony. #12 Yes, the M44 is just as nimble as the MX5/Eunos, and much better built. #13 I think Mx5s are great but the Z3 is SOOO MUCH prettier. The Mazda looks like a white good in comparison (IMO). And the Z3 has the big six-cylinder option, which I would gladly sacrifice some handling points for. In my use case, the extra grunt is far more useful in day-to-day driving than better steering or handling. #14 Thanks for the input guys, i would agree with the comments / observations made, i have had the mazda 18 years so hanging on to it for now, presently sorn. The zed is my wifes choice, sorry to say our little problems have knocked her confidence , does not want to take it out on her own. Our last little indulgence was a chrysler crossfire convertable, had it three summers, the zed is a much better car. andyglym Shiny Dust Caps Make Your Zed Go Faster. #15 The latest edition of modern classics has a head to head, MX-5 v's Z3. The MX-5 just takes the crown, in their view. #16 The latest edition of modern classics has a head to head, MX-5 v's Z3. The MX-5 just takes the crown, in their view. That's interesting, because the perceived wisdom is the Mx5 is streets ahead of the Z3. I'm guessing the Mazda won on steering and handling and the Z3 won on refinement, comfort and build quality? I've always thought the gap between them can't possibly be as big as people make out. Throw a big six-cylinder into the mix and you'd have a different winner by a bigger margin in my view (but then it wouldn't be comparing apples with apples etc). andyglym Shiny Dust Caps Make Your Zed Go Faster. #17 That's interesting, because the perceived wisdom is the Mx5 is streets ahead of the Z3.

Not had one so can't comment but they said the MX-5 ran out of puff top end. #20 Thought i would add an update to this old thread. I have had the zed for two years now, the mx5/eunos i had for 18 years was sold 18 months ago. I have been won over by the z3 in the past two years.

Pa ?e to... Kak?na je po va?em mnenju realna cena za enga solidnega 2001/2002 letnika (neke srednje mo?i)?Lep pozdrav, da ?e jest mal lon?ek pristavim.. Najprej bom omenil, da o Z3 ne vem kaj dosti, nisem ga ?e peljal, tko da ne bom sodil o tem. Kar je blo pa zgoraj napisanega o primerjavah obeh, kar dr?i. ?e se najprej obregnem ob citat, mx-5 je od 2002 letnika faceliftana, kar pomeni, da ima lep?e prednje in zadnje lu?i, prednji odbija? in nekaj malega notranjosti. Na si lahko pogleda? razlike do 01 letnika in od 02 naprej. Praviloma je facelift kak?nega jur?ka dra?ji, ?e ti to igra kaj vloge..Sicer je pa avto fantasti?en, vzdr?evanje poceni, vozne lastnosti odli?ne, veter v laseh in ob?utek brez?asnosti...na ra?un luksuza in prostornosti..se spla?a. Sam sicer vozim razli?ico z 81kw motorjem in mi na splo?no ?ist ustreza, ob bolj dirka?ki vo?nji pa manjka mo?i, sploh pri ovinkih in prehitevanjih. Takrat je treba ve?krat menjat prestave in priganjat v visoke obrate..btw..zvok motorja je zelo lep sicer pa zado??a, povpre?na poraba na 17colkah je okrog ?isto nakupu mx-5 nima? kej dost pazit, tako kot pri navadnem avtu. Razen platnene strehe pazi, ta mora bit lepo ohranjena, ni? razpokana in da se gladko odpira in zapira. Hardtop dobi? pri nas za okoli 500eur, preko E-baya ?e ceneje. Pozimi zelo prav pride, sploh ?e ma? avto parkiran zunaj. v tej temi pi?e tudi nekaj na to temo, si lahko pogleda?..

Killer2005 Original Poster 18,515 posts 207 months Saturday 15th January 2011 I have been thinking about my next car, and have been thinking that I need a RWD sports car for about 4-5k. There was an option of going slightly over my budget for something along the lines of a Caterham or a Honda S2000, but lack of suitable storage places and insurance prices have put these ideas to bed, so its down to the Z3 vs more interestingly, I'm leaning more towards the Z3 than the MX5. Largely due to the fact that my commute at the moment is nearly all dual carriageway or motorway, and I really don't get enough time on twisties So sensible thinking or has insanity finally taken over me? Saturday 15th January 2011 S2000 is cracking and in terms of speed and sound is fantastic and an easy car to live with so would be worth the extra stretch,if not I would advise the newest shape of the MR2 formally known as the MR-s plus you'd have spare cash if you went for one of these vvti 0-60 8 secondsair con in someplus it's a forgiving mid engined car which is great for daily commuting and is also at home on a trackday or 4 if not then I'd say the Mx5 purely because it's a great car , plenty of enthusiasts , plenty of tuning scope etc hope that helps ya chap Saturday 15th January 2011 The MX5 is the better sports car, but the Z3 (assuming you're talking about an I6) may well be the better GT. Neither is really designed for motorways.

MR2 Spyder is arguably a better drive (certainly more of a sports car in terms of handling than the Z3) although a front engined RWD is more progressive and easier to have 'leet drift fun' with than a 'midship runabout'.Where it falls down is a complete lack of storage space compared to just about every other cabriolet (and in my humble opinion that is really the only insurmountable negative point). That said, I am not sure if a rear luggage rack is as it is a mid(engined)-ship, the cabin is quite big compared to an MX5 (relatively speaking) and there is usable space in the passenger footwell. There is a bit of space in the front boot and behind the seats too, but no rear 'boot' like a Mk2 MR2 or boxster by texasjohn on Saturday 15th January 20:46 Saturday 15th January 2011 Saturday 15th January 2011 Definitely or Z3. Brilliant cars and for 5k you can find a good one of either. I've sold my Z3 six months ago for It needed is absolutely nothing wrong with Z3 on a motorway. One thing - wind deflector is a must if you are thinking of roofless m/way you want it quieter with roof up you can buy an optional engine in is very nice to drive in town too, plenty of torque at low revs. redgriff500 said: Z3 is not a sportscarOh really?

Saturday 15th January 2011 I had a weekend in a Z3 when looking to upgrade the MX5. No way is it a sportscar. It was neither confidence inspiring, that quick, or fun. I bought a Chimaera. Saturday 15th January 2011 A 2 seater sportscar isn't what you want for a commute in my opinion, something bigger, more comfortable and wafty would be more suited.. I'm sure, though, that you have already considered Z3 is the worst of both worlds, it's neither as fun as an MX-5 nor as comfortable as a mondeo or other motorway muncher. A Z3 is likely to cost you a lot more than an MX-5 or a mondeo in running money would go on a mk MX-5 with a hard top (and leather if possible, but the hard top would be more of a priority).

I built my MR2 for a previous, shorter commute and weekend fun and its just too thirsty, loud and gizmo-filled for what i want the Z3, see if you like it.

It'll be cheaper than the S2000, Z3, MX5 etc... I'd be willing to you get quotes again, don't make the mistake of getting quotes through a normal insurance company which you would use to get quotes for most the other more standard a kit car specialist such as Adrian Flux, Caterham insurance, MSM insurance (personal vote for them) and many more. Due to being a kit car (factory built or built by yourself), it's cheaper to normal cars in the same way classic insurance is insurance it's self is the same. I have mine insured for 10K miles per year (could be unlimited) as I use it as my daily and only car, living outside in a communal car park for flats and houses. 3rd party insurance to drive other cars, free windscreen cover or a limited amount of track day cover free over the year. Anyway, get a quote through one of the above mentioned people and see how it comes out. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Killer2005 Original Poster 18,515 posts 207 months Saturday 15th January 2011 Its the lack of useful places for a Caterham to live thats putting that idea off. Where I live now I could quite happily do it as its quite out of the way, but where I would be moving to I would'nt want to keep a caterham as it would be on street parking, and not the better places in Leeds to be keeping one is local and I'm really quite temped but I would forsee the worst happening Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff Posting Rules

Het concept van de MX-5 werd meer dan 30 jaar geperfectioneerd, met de 2-liter 30th Anniversary als voorlopig hoogtepunt. Is het meteen ook de beste tweeliter roadster die je kunt kopen, of duik je beter de zoekertjes in voor bijvoorbeeld een Z3 met zes-in-lijn? Staycation, het wordt mogelijk het woord van 2020. Dit fenomeen zorgde er alvast voor dat we flink meer zwembaden, tweede verblijven en motorfietsen gingen aanschaffen. Allemaal om meer te kunnen genieten binnen onze landsgrenzen. Maar is een cabrio niet nog beter? Immers praktischer dan een motorfiets en in een coronavrije toekomst ook nog buiten de landsgrenzen te gebruiken. We zochten uit wat je je nog best kunt aanschaffen zolang de zon nog overuren klopt. 30 jaar fijngeslepen Om al meteen een open deur in te trappen: de Mazda MX-5 – generatie ND – is een verdomd goede roadster. We hebben de al vanaf de lancering in 2015 bewierookt en ook de kreeg vanaf de facelift voor modeljaar 2019 onze zegen. Deze 30th Anniversary vertrekt vanaf die basis en beschikt over 184 pk en 205 Nm koppel. Als leuke surplus krijg je bij deze verjaardagsversie een opvallend oranje koetswerkkleurtje bij, gesmede Rays ZE40 RS30-velgen met 30th Anniversary aanduiding en een interieur dat rijkelijk voorzien is van alcantara en oranje accenten en stiknaden. Nog leuker zijn de Recaro-sportstoelen (die weliswaar nog meer steun zouden mogen bieden) de Bilstein-schokdempers en de Brembo-remklauwen met – jawel – oranje tint. Tijdens goed kilometer hebben we genoten van het gezelschap van deze oranje rakker. En dat in alle omstandigheden. Van hittegolf tot plotse regenbuien en koudere nachten met kap open (en verwarming aan). De MX-5 weet altijd een glimlach te toveren en dat ook op alle wegtypes, van snelweg tot binnenwegen in slechte staat. Bij regenweer sluit je de kap in een handomdraai en is dit multitalent voldoende strak opgehangen om een sportievere rijstijl toe te laten maar tegelijk nog erg comfortabel te zijn wanneer er typisch Belgische wegen opduiken. Nog opmerkelijker is de rust aan boord, zowel met kap op of neer valt er haast geen windgeruis te bemerken. Ook nergens een kraakje of piepje, wat wel eens durft voor te komen bij cabrio’s die het twee- of drievoud kosten. Four seasons in one day Tijdens een typisch Belgische zomerdag met zon, wind Ă©n regen trokken we erop uit met de MX-5 en een uitdager van weleer. De MX-5 biedt immers nog open rijplezier dat nergens meer op de markt is terug te vinden, zeker niet voor een redelijk bedrag. Onze keuze viel op een Z3 Enerzijds omdat de Z3 plots aan een heuse revival bezig is en deze zomer overal opduikt, en anderzijds omdat zo’n Z3 eveneens een allemansvriend is met een 2-liter onder de kap – zij het eentje met twee cilinders meer. En het moet gezegd zijn, de 20 jaar oude Z3 blijft ten alle tijden de nieuwe MX-5 opjagen. Zijn stijl is eerder speels, met een achterzijde die al eens – zij het gecontroleerd – een stap opzij durft te zetten. De 2-liter hier is 150 paarden sterk (gecombineerd met 190 Nm), maar weet niettemin te verrassen. Deze BMW dateert immers nog goeie ouwe tijd en verdeelt zijn cilinderinhoud over 6 in plaats van 4 cilinders. Toegevoegde waarde daarvan is een meeslepend geluid, veel meer dan in de toenmalige E46 320i met dezelfde motor, en een bak karakter. De 2-liter Z3 lijkt daarenboven meer verzot op het draaien van toeren, terwijl de 2-liter van Mazda het nog steeds meer van souplesse moet hebben. Meesterlijke versnellingsbak Een souplesse die in de verf wordt gezet door de versnellingsbak van de Mazda. Versnellingsbakken als deze tonen aan waarom het nog moeite loont zelf te schakelen. De schakelwegen zijn kort en de bediening hoogst aangenaam. Doordat de versnellingsbakverhoudingen niet te lang zijn – wat in deze WLTP-tijden helaas schering en inslag is – kan de souplesse van de motor optimaal benut worden. Ook al kan de 2-liter MX-5 nu goed toeren draaien, daar is bitter weinig reden toe. Zelfs onder de omwentelingen kan je makkelijk de vaart erin houden en soepel van bocht naar bocht glijden. Dan is de MX-5 in zijn element. Duw je hem nog verder – wat met name de Brembo’s best aan zouden kunnen – dan verliest de MX-5 wat van zijn stabiliteit en scherpte. Het is op zo’n momenten dat je nog steeds enige vaagheid in het stuur en wat rolbeweging in de koets gewaar wordt. Maar dit is natuurlijk een roadster en geen racemachine. Kleine kantjes Alleen maar positieve punten dus? Helaas, de MX-5 heeft ook zo zijn kleine kantjes. Die zelfs belicht worden door de 20 jaar oudere Z3. Zo is de ruimte aan boord beperkt. Zeker als passagier weet je niet altijd blijf met lange benen. De opbergvakken aan boord zijn daarnaast ook op een halve hand te tellen. Naar een handschoenkastje of opbergvak in de deuren zal je bijvoorbeeld tevergeefs zoeken. Je zal het moeten stellen met een – gelukkig ruim en vergrendelbaar – opbergkastje tussen de twee stoelen. Ook qua kofferruimte doet de Z3 beter, met 165 tegenover 130 liter. Deze is bovendien bij de Beierse uitdager mooier gevormd, met op de koop toe een grotere uitsnijding om het laden van weekendbagage te vergemakkelijken. Ook met hedendaagse comfortitems gaat de MX-5 deels in de fout. Het gedeeltelijk digitaal instrumentarium is slecht afleesbaar in de zon, zodat je moet gokken op welke snelheid de cruise control staat en hoeveel benzine er nog rest. De vergrendeling treedt ook meteen op na het sluiten van een deur, nog voor je bijvoorbeeld de tankklep of de bijrijdersportier kan openen. Uiteraard is er geen van al die nonsens te bespeuren bij de Z3. Neusjes van de zalm Bij een ondergaande zon is het makkelijk tot een conclusie te komen voor beide roadsters. Ze zijn enerzijds erg gelijkaardig maar anderzijds ook erg verschillend. De Z3 is een ideale weekendwagen die door zijn edele klank ver te prefereren valt boven zijn viercilinderbroertjes ( en Dat de bovendien het faceliftmodel is, met onder andere de bredere heupen achteraan, is mooi meegenomen. Daardoor zijn deze varianten ook vrij uniek want ze doken pas vanaf april ‘99 – en slechts een goed jaartje – in de verkoopbrochure op. De MX-5 (30th Anniversary) is daarentegen een weekendwagen die je ook dagdagelijks kan inzetten. Hij heeft daarvoor alle moderne comfortitems aan boord en zijn magistrale versnellingsbak zal zelfs in fileverkeer een genot blijven. Deze bak in combinatie met de 2-liter geeft de wagen voldoende souplesse om zowel tegen 10 km/u door de dagdagelijkse file te kruipen als tegen 70 Ă  90 km/u door het Ardeense landschap te zoeven. We begrijpen dus best waarom deze erg verslavende roadster als zoete broodjes verkoopt. MAZDA MX-5 Skyactiv-G 184 pk MOTOR: viercilinder, atmosferisch, CILINDERINHOUD: cc, MAX.
