suppose, but MX-5 less so than the Z4 IMO. Ragtop/convertible would always feel more weekend special too I think.
A 5k Z4 will be an E85 which is also a rag top and is about as refined as catching the bus so an ideal weekend car in that respect.

I daily drove an E86 M Couple for 4.5 years. Good old days . Took it to about 75k miles from around 6k.I can vouch for this, I daily'd one for 5 years xD

You mean Nasher (who doesnt even use his Lotus very often, and instead drives an ordinary hatchback most of the time), was talking rubbish as to what kind of car constitutes a daily? I'm shocked, positive shocked!
Oh dear, what crap are you talking now?
The Z4 was obviously built to be used every day...

When new, not when 10-15 years old and you have a family...
Sure,the mr2 turbo was build to be able to be driven daily. But is it a good winter car?
Is it a practical daily car?
No.
tbh all kit cars are so basic that they tend to look naff. I was just trying to show that there are options for ~5k. A workmate bought a track-prepped GKD (3l 6pot BMW engine, full cage, piped extinguisher, cutoffs etc.) with 2 sets of M3 alloys for £6k - yeah, its a little more basic and angular than a Westfield, but value for money and smiles per mile, it's amazing. As for the 3 wheeler - much like all the reviews for the Morgan 3 wheeler, it's just soo different (and probably scary) to drive that it's the drama you want from a weekend toy car... (and probably a lot like a mx5, as it's likely to be an experience without breaking the speed limit)I'd take an MX5 over any random cheap kit car, those three linked above pretty naff. The three wheeler especially.
Those kit cars will leave an MX5 for dead though. Some of them have silly performance, but that is the point
This thread seems to have flip flopped from 'I want a hot hatch for a bit of weekend fun' all the way to 'if it has a heater and a roof it's too refined'
Agreed, assuming you’re not on a public road or are happy to ignore road laws.
The other point being the flexibility of having a heater that works, heated seats and a roof that doesn’t leak. Lot to be said for that during weekend runs.
