    Instead of reporting as fraud.
    Would it not be better that the gardai do a sting? if they be bothered

    That's all it's worth. They weren't particularly good when they were now and the 2.0 is a bit of a guzzler

    35 mpg!!! My hole!! The diesel wouldn't do that. You'd be lucky to get into the 20's doing town driving. Grand yoke for someone doing about 80km a week..

    I knew a fella who had a petrol auto, years ago, and he told me it used to get something like 16 mpg in town. Don't know how accurate that number is, but by all accounts it was an alcoholic anyway.

    Particularly with fewer seats, and a soft top.

    Well, such a car is fantastic. It was reported as the most reliable sports model in the UK recently.
    Most reliable coupe cars

    1. Mazda MX-5 – 2005 – 2015
    Heading the top of the tables when it comes to sports cars, is the MX-5, naturally. Not only is it the most iconic roadster ever built, but thanks to its Japanese roots, it’s the most reliable sports cars.

    2009 Mazda MX-5
    Fun and extremely reliable, the MX-5 ticks all the boxes.
    Scoring just 18, the MX-5 has an average repair cost of £202, with an off the road time of 1.2 hours. The models in the index were on average 5.2 years old and had nearly 32,000 miles on them.

    Again, the area with the most significant faults was the suspension with 30% of problem reported, followed closely by the braking system. Electrical and then engine are next, with the rest of the issues spread across the steering, fuel system, gearbox and air-con.

    AHH jaysus the MX 5 is really done to death at this stage... They're the preserve of rotund baldy aul fellas nowadays. ( I'm a rotund baldy aul fella in case anyone asks)





    I don't have and never will have an MX5.

    Well, I have a soft spot for soft tops. [See what I did there :)]

    This Japanese one is the best for me, and I have had a few soft tops over the years. I even had three at the same time.

    Unfortunately, I doubt that they qualify for bangernomics - not cheap enough, tax too dear, and insurance cost too high. However, on the fun scale, they would be near the top.

    Here is one that might qualify.
