Drives really well if I'm honest, although it was old and there were loads of problems, but easily the most aesthetically pleasing car I will ever own (most likely), it was bright red and mah god lol, dunno where it is now we sold it to an old dealer. The MX-5 is great! I love those style cars.
Yeahh, I grew up in Australia and you can start to learn at 15 and legally get your L plates at 15 9 months, so it's pretty lenient, some of those Asian countries are like 21 right? I got my license near 17 tho cause you gotta get 100 hours experience and that takes hella long time if you don't go to uni (which I chose not to do, tho I'm starting next year now [: ).
Those trans, are you looking to race or nah? I remember learning something about imports to south-east Asian countries in business class some year and it was something along the lines of a lower GDP or "valueless" currency which increases the prices of imports, and if that's the case for Malaysia then man that sucks. Also I love how this has gone from PR2 to car chat lol
I personally love those type of cars as well as pop-up headlights c:
They recently changed the law here so now anyone can get their license at the age of 17. As for experience, I believe it's about 24 or 48 hours, though I may be wrong about this bit.
I did plan to take my car to the track every now and then (once I get a car), but it might be just for daily use as well. Sure, it may be not so fuel efficient to use a manual for places with a lot of traffic, such as this country but I find automatic just plain boring, especially for long drives (+ less expensive maintenance cost).
The exchange rate is somewhere around $1 USD == RM ~3.97 Ringgit, so I wouldn't exactly say it's "valueless" compared to a lot of other countries in Asia. I believe it was done to "boost" the local car manufacturing companies or something like that.
also, just to be on topic, "Life is a highway~"
