Asked by Craig Langford
I saw your story about driving the new Mazda MX-5 in Scotland and, as I'm looking to put an order in, which engine would you recommend? The 1.5 or the 2.0-litre? I currently own a MX5 NA 1.8 Clubman set up for track days/club sprints so I like their driving experience.
Answered by CarsGuide
20 Jul 2015For road use I'd be happy with the 1.5 but, since you're going to be hitting racetracks, I'd definitely get the "big banger" 2-litre engine as it will be more rewarding to drive in those conditions.
