Get a Mk2!
How far is your commute?
Just get it as an only car, how long is your commute?
About 12 miles.
Only short, I'd get an mx5 as an only car tbh. If you want extra comfort get the mk2.

Popups for the Winrar!
Dooooo it. We shall slowly convert everyone!(no pun intended)
I've had both mk1 and mk2, and I've commuted in both. As long as you don't do mega miles or constant rush hour stop start traffic, all variations of mx5 are fine.
Although many people say the mk1 is the better drivers car, I often wonder how much of that is true. Mk1's are slightly lighter and more raw which can add to the charm, but it is in other area's where the Mk2 imo has been improved. Mazda improved the handling by upgrading suspension, adding bracing to the chassis also slightly more powerful engine (which I found very noticable infact). The 'comforts' which people allude to is that better suspension, ABS, airbags and not much else I can think of really. So in general the two are on the whole, the same; but it is the minor differences which separate them. One of the things that annoyed me with the Mk1 was the zip out plastic rear window, in the Mk2 there is no need to zip out and it is heated glass too.
Personally I'm not really interested in Mk2.5 upwards as there isn't as much room and it gets a little bit softer.
12-18 months ago there was definite price boundaries between mk1 and mk2, but the £2k-4k is very blurred now, where good examples of both can be found.
Everyone prefers one over the other, both are fantastic so go try both and see which you like most. I'm actually struggling to see myself owning a different car for a while now, this is solely due to the driving experience. It's everything from the driving position, excellent gear change, great handling, 360 degree vista experience, cheapness and general fun.
Ohh and btw, it is a crime to keep an MX5 in stock condition unless you really do want the hairdresser stigmaAnyway, enough ramblings from me.
Can this be done? If so how much work is envolved?Actually buy a Mk2 and facelift it to a Mk2.5, looks much more manly than the limp wristed Mk1![]()

I have a Mk2 but have always preferred the lights / front end of the 2.5.
I'd never have one. I'd never tune it to 240bhp. I'd never use it to drive over 400miles. Nope. Never.
