A few questions on the UK Ford Focus for you...

Is 82,000 miles a lot on a 2011 Ford Focus 1.6? It's an English car and the SD card that comes with the Focus has English maps - how do you change to Irish maps? What would be the value of this car?

Thank you.

Can you advise me on buying an older Mazda MX-5?

I'm looking out for a Mazda MX-5, an old one, to have as an open top / second car for the summer (I'm a weather optimist!). What issues if any should I watch out for? Is there a major difference between the 'regular' MX-5 and the Jap import versions?
