The Brindley Group is the new name for Mazda in Stourbridge alongside their Citroen franchise.

Britain 's biggest selling weekly car magazine, Auto Express, has selected the second generation Mazda MX-5 as the 'best used Roadster money can buy' in the latest round of its annual Used Car Honours.

This is a repeat win for the MX-5 as it was also selected last year for this top Auto Express accolade.

Appraising the Mazda MX-5 in today's edition of the magazine, Used Car Honours judge Mike Brewer comments: "There's a second generation MX-5 to suit every pocket, from as little as £5,000.

First-rate build quality and reliability help to make the MX-5 a car you can buy as much with your head as your heart and parts prices are reasonable.

"Whichever version you choose, the MX-5 will put a smile across your face, come rain or shine.

"The MX-5 is a legend in its own lifetime and its appeal is as strong on used car forecourts as it ever was in new car showrooms."

The latest 'Used Car Honours - Best Roadster' award is just one of dozens of awards that Mazda's iconic MX-5 has won over the last few years.

In the UK, these include: 'Best Used Sports Car' Warranty Direct, 'Roadster of the Year 2005' BBCTop Gear magazine and 'Best Used Sports Convertible 2004' Used Car Buyer.
