Mazda MX-5 1.8 2002

The 2002 Mazda MX-5 1.8 is one of those cars that brings driving pleasure back to its essence. This particular example was originally delivered in Germany and found its way to the Netherlands in 2011, where it has had only two owners. Despite being little used in recent months, the car still exudes its distinctive character. The MX-5 is known as a reliable and low-maintenance roadster, but this car now needs some attention to regain its full potential. Yet the core of this iconic roadster remains untouched: pure, casual driving pleasure.

The Mazda MX-5 is a modern icon that, since its launch in 1989, has perfectly translated the DNA of the classic roadster into an accessible and reliable car. The 2002 version, equipped with a 1.8-liter engine, offers a delightful balance between sportiness and driving comfort. With its lightweight construction and rear-wheel drive, the MX-5 is made to elevate cornering to an art, without needing excessive power. This combination has resulted in the MX-5 being considered one of the most beloved convertibles worldwide.

What makes this car special is the fabric convertible roof that is almost like new. The manual roof is easy to remove and install, making the transition from coupe to convertible arranged in seconds. This emphasizes the practicality of the MX-5: a car that can be driven open in summer and closed in winter without sacrificing convenience. The classic charm of driving with an open roof comes into full play in an MX-5, and that makes it a car that puts a smile on your face with every drive.

In addition to the driving pleasure, this MX-5 also offers a leather interior, which adds to the feeling of luxury and comfort in this compact roadster. Also included is the original radio. The MX-5 is more than just a fun toy for sunny days. This car offers a driving experience that is hard to match in this price range. Its balanced chassis, direct steering and playful nature make every drive feel like a little adventure, even on the most mundane roads. This example offers a solid foundation for the next owner who wants to restore the car to top condition. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
