New R53 Owner.

Whats up everyone, just picked up a new-to-me MCS.



It is in phenominal shape for a 2005, only 27,500 miles on it. Light on the options, but its an S and it is a 6spd so it has all the important parts. I've come from a 370Z so its quite a difference. Wanted something a bit more versitile than a 2 seater sports car that I only drove on sunny days. So anyway, I'll be around. Peace.

Its interesting, I went from a 370Z to the 2005 MCS and I think this thing might be just as fun as the Z to drive. Sure the Z sounded better and was a bit faster than the mini, but it is just flat out fun to burn through the gears in this thing. Totally happy with the purchase.

Congratulations! I've had my BRG/B R53 a year. I have had several R56 owners tell me they had the first gen. Welcome to the jealousy. :-)

Motor On!

Grats - the R53 is the only way to go. You have chosen well.

Drive 'er in good health!

Welcome. Sweet ride! In my opinion, the R53 is the way to go if you want gokart like handling, driver involvement and a little rough around the edges attitude. Of course, I'm prejudiced.
