MAZDA MX-5 (2009-13) 2DR COUPE 2.0 160 SE LEATHER is a compact two-seat sports car with a folding hardtop, blending coupe security and open-air fun. In the UK it is an affordable roadster, not a family hatchback. Its size suits town driving, while its character shines for drivers on country roads. mycarcheck.com logged 17 look-ups across 11 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a large-market survey. Checked cars averaged £5,900 in private-sale value, 56,000 miles and 2,000 miles annually; ownership averaged just under three previous keepers. Low annual use suggests many are enjoyed as weekend cars in this small sample. With 160 horsepower, the SE Leather feels and its leather cabin adds comfort to the MX-5’s agile, engaging drive. It suits couples, drivers and enthusiasts seeking a fun second car, not anyone needing rear seats or luggage room. Compared with rivals, its folding roof and roadster feel are notable attractions.
