We don't have the 20i in the US but I love the 28i, it's nearly as powerful as the 6 cylinder but gets much better gas mileage It also has a lot of torque so drives great!

I'm 1.84m and fit fine in the MX-5. It's great that Mazda put so much emphasis on saving weight but I think there is too much cheap plastic in the car and maybe they went too far....? But if the Z4 could lose some weight too it would be a great thing; the only thing I don't like about the Z4 is that it is pretty heavy for a roadster.

No the radio display is in the LCD panel which is hidden because the engine is off. I have the navigation/tech package so everything displays on the LCD.
