    No, if they're on good tyres and the suspension is set up correctly, they only slide if you want them to (unless you're on snow or ice).

    marc - the 5 on TG in Iraq was used, abused and treated really badly
    They will take a lot of abuse but much p*ss-taking occured yet still it survived

    In the mountains of Spain the 5 will be the perfect car to drive
    Go on, buy one - you know you want to...Grinner

    5555 - try iPlayer and see if it's still in the system
    I must try Dr Who as there was a power-cut here when watching it on Christmas Day

    Easy to drive, i have only been driving two months and i can handle it, just respect it and it

    will respect you and in all honestly the ford focus and c-max i drive at work ar very poor be far safer in an mx

    even had it out in the snow and ice just get one and you will love it

    The fun of the MX is it is a limpet, it's the closest thing I have found to a go kart!! and yet, if you want to, you can do some glorious power slides, but you need to provoke it (unless there is snow! lol). Find a nice gravelly carpark and enjoy :)

    Dont rely on those idiot presenters the programme is fake and contrived, the cars are driven by stunt drivers for visual effect, this is why the US is reluctant to allow them to film in the USA because it is an "entertainment" programme there are very few reliable facts that the average motorist could replicate or rely on as being true.

     

    Top Gear is about as real as WWE wrestling

    I have had my MX5 now for 4 months.

    Love it, Love it, Love it.

    It's a Mk2, 10 years old, but it is great.

    I cant wait for the weekends to come round, ditch my works BMW 320 and drive the Mazda.

    Get one, you wont regret it.

    PS - Top Gear is great entertainment, but thats what it is, entertainment, actually Clarkson has previously praised the MX5 before as being the best Pound for Pound Sports Car around, several times and in his books.
