Mazda MX-5 2002 FAQs

Car radio in MX5

Current analog radios won't work without some sort of interface. Pioneer make one called the Pure Highway that is mounted on the windscreen and receives the digital signal and puts out an analog signal.

Take soft option

BOTH are well-built and will be reliable so I reckon it comes down to whether you fancy a coupe or convertible. The Celica is a stylish coupe, but the MX-5 is obviously a soft top. My choice is a Mazda, but that's because I like convertibles. Sit in each, make sure you're comfortable with the seats and the roominess, and take them for a drive to see if either fits your needs.

Performance poser

I CAN'T give you an absolute answer without knowing what the maker of this chip has done and how much testing backs up his claims. In general, car companies tread a careful line and use fairly conservative settings. They reason that they have to cover all bases and make the car stand up under all sorts of driving situations. An aftermarket company doesn't usually worry about these things, and will often take settings to the limit to achieve power and torque gains. You may not experience any problems by fitting the chip, but you are taking a gamble by doing so. Before fitting a new chip ask the manufacturer for evidence of his claims, his warranty if things go wrong, and for the names of other owners who have fitted the chip.
