Car Throttle delves into the ultimate MX5 choice: the NC. The Mark III MX5 emerges as a budget-friendly gem, packing 158 horsepower from a 2 L engine. It serves as a blank canvas for mods, including the BBR Supercharged 250 horsepower beast. The NC may be bigger and heavier, but it retains the MX5's core spirit, offering a blend of practicality and driving fun.

The NC Sport variant, with its six-speed gearbox and limited-slip diff, proves ideal for both track thrills and daily driving. While not a speed demon, its lightweight build and responsive steering make it a joy on the road. The 158 horsepower engine demands revs but rewards with an exhilarating experience. Despite some rust concerns, diligent buyers can find a clean NC for a fair price.

Enter the BBR Supercharged NC, boasting 250 horsepower and a stage one kit with various performance upgrades. The supercharger complements the car's power delivery, providing a linear yet potent performance boost. Enhanced suspension and geometry setups refine the car's handling, making it a compelling choice for driving enthusiasts. With the roof down, the NC delivers an engaging driving experience, cementing its status as a top pick among MX5 aficionados.
