The Sport works with the OEM hardtop and gives you three options: no diagonals, single diagonal, or double diagonals. The Hard Core comes standard with a single diagonal and optional double diagonals or X-Brace. The Hard Core will not work with an OEM hardtop unless the hardtop version is specified. All M3 roll bars use 1¾ tubing.
With modest wheels and a soft suspension tune, the MX-5 floats along better than the Subaru BRZ on pockmarked roads, and over sharp-edged speed bumps and potholes. Its tin-top rivals do offer better noise suppression though, especially on the highway. Away from town, the MX-5 is hilarious to push hard.

From the adverts that I recall - it's either £750 off or a "free" hardtop. My brother who lives in CA had the US version of the MX5 years ago and loved it. Can only assume the later model is only better. As for hard or soft top not sure. But surely one selling point if the MX5 is the open roof so can you get a current MX5 plus a separate hard

Slightly quieter than the soft top overall (until you put a roof rack on it, then its basically the same) Better when it comes to water/snow intrusion (but there have been plenty of reports of hard top leaks). Hard Top - Cons. Going into full convertible mode is a 20 minute affair, and you need help to do it.
