Mazda MX-5, Toyota 86 or Mustang for long-time V8 driver?

Asked by Brian Maher

I am a long time Holden and HSV V8 driver, and I'm considering the SS-V, but I'm also thinking of a change to something different, like a Mazda MX5, Toyota 86 or the 4-cylinder Mustang? What would you recommend of those or other like models to consider?

Wow, that is a major change of direction. Before you make such a change I would suggest you actually test drive each of the cars you're thinking of to see if they really suit you. The Mazda MX-5 is a two-seater and not very practical for instance. It's hard to advise you because we don't anything about what you want from the car you buy. If it was me I would probably buy the MX-5, I would have no problem with a two-seater.
