    Which new MX-5 engine?

    Mazda Mazda Advice Mazda MX-5 Mazda MX-5 Advice Mazda MX-5 2015

    I saw your story about driving the new Mazda MX-5 in Scotland and, as I'm looking to put an order in, which engine would you recommend? The 1.5 or the 2.0-litre? I currently own a MX5 NA 1.8 Clubman set up for track days/club sprints so I like their driving experience.

    For road use I'd be happy with the 1.5 but, since you're going to be hitting racetracks, I'd definitely get the "big banger" 2-litre engine as it will be more rewarding to drive in those conditions.
