Honest John Awards 2013 - 'Most Popular Roadster'

 

Presenting the Most Popular Roadster category winner, Honest John stated: “We may rarely see the sun in the UK, in fact we’re more likely to see snow judging by recent months, yet convertibles and roadsters remain very popular and that’s reflected in what our users are viewing.

 

“It may not be the newest two-seater open-top car on the market but the Mazda MX-5 remains the most fun to drive and it’s very affordable.  Our users clearly think so too.  It proves that a good quality soft-top needn’t cost the earth,” concluded Honest John. - Dan Harrison, editor of honestjohn.co.uk.
