Anyway what's wrong with a Mazda ? My MX5 is brilliant ! They looked at the Elan and decided to make a car without the Lotus shortcomings. It starts first time in all weathers it doesn't leak oil it does good MPG it doesn't rattle the rag top doesn't leak it's cheap to run the headlamps stay up or down the electrics never go wrong it goes and handles as well as a std Elan_____ I could fill a page ! OK it's not got a ridiculous value but it only costs me £400 and I am not frightened to leave it parked anywhere !
