Interesting one this as I swapped from an MX-5 to a MY02 scooby ! Both cars have their strong points and weaks points.
Scooby has definately much more power and more grip, and is the better motorway cruise and possibly safer as larger and heavier. But the Scoob cost loads more to run and even more when end up modifing it.
MX-5 has more direct steering and much better feel, it is more enjoyable at the legal limit - do not need to drive it a warp speed at to get any excitment out of it. MX-5 gets less attention from the police but more approving attention from the general public of all ages. Got more females phone numbers when had the MX-5 than have had with the Scooby (none so far !!). MX-5 got less idiots running one inch from my bumber desperate to overtake. RWD bit was great fun to relive stress at roundabouts / clear junctions
Loved open air bit - the few times I got to use it.
Richard - giving serious thought to getting another jap rwd car !

stephen emery 10 May 2003 03:07 PM

think u need to reg before u vote.

steve
Doh

pslewis 10 May 2003 03:09 PM

Ok, Richard - well said

I have both of course, BUT the Scooby IS overall the better car I would say??

Both are great fun!!

Pete

richs2891 10 May 2003 03:31 PM

Pete
Good choice of cars
As to which is better- A hard one to decide, Depends (for me) on what type of mood I was in. It depends on what type of driving do in either, how many miles in either etc

Richard - Sitting on the fence slightly !!

pslewis 10 May 2003 04:08 PM

Come on, we only need 17 more!! ;)

Pete

Brun 10 May 2003 04:10 PM

I've done the deed Pete :)

Spoon 10 May 2003 04:14 PM

I can't see an MX5 being appealing in the slightest, what a woofters mobile imo.

Eldar 10 May 2003 04:16 PM

An MX-5 is better than a scooby for some things, for sure (insurance, fuel consumption, roof down, cost). Sccobys are better performing, handling and driving. They are both good at what they do.

The buyer buys what they want, so it isn't a question of 'better', unless you are defensive about what you own/aspire to or merely feeling tribal....

pslewis 10 May 2003 04:17 PM

Thanks brun - seen the comment, did you make sure you voted in the poll on the TOP of the thread??!!

Spoon - go and tell 'em that AND vote!!

Pete

pslewis 10 May 2003 04:19 PM

Eldar - Tribal will do for me!! ;)

Don't forget its a bit of FUN!!! It got NOTHING to do with being protective, insecure, inadequate or ANYTHING else!! Before the serious start posting!! :D

Pete

Andy W 10 May 2003 04:22 PM

It's rigged! I have just registered and it won't let me vote.

Andy W 10 May 2003 04:26 PM

Eldar 10 May 2003 04:27 PM

I know - I thought I'd try a wind up:)

Colin.

pslewis 10 May 2003 04:32 PM

I know, Colin - but its me ..... the Big Daddy of Wind-Ups your talking to!! ;)

Invade!

DocJock 10 May 2003 05:10 PM

Eldar

Sorry mate, my Scoob has better traction and bags more grip than my MX5 but NO WAY has it better handling. That is the whole point of a 5.

sKunk 10 May 2003 05:59 PM

Say what you want about mx5 peeps but at least they run decent forum software, unlike the pap we use here :p
