The steering wheel of an MX5 NB (1998 - 2000) is the first point of real contact between driver and car. Every steering movement, minor correction or quick steering input runs through this component, so grip, diameter and material contribute directly to the driving feel. Especially in a light roadster with direct steering, you notice subtle differences faster than in many other cars. When the steering and mechanical transmission to the front wheels also function tightly, every movement feels natural and precise.
