The Mazda MX5 is an icon of its class. With its lightweight well distributed build and planted handling combined with some winding country roads, you couldn't fathom a more fun car to drive. In today's video, I've been fortunate enough to get hold of an MX5 NC for a day. Admittedly not the generation held in the highest regard.

Is this maligned generation of the beloved roadster really that bad? Or could it possibly hold some surprises for us? In today's video, I endeavour to find out.
