We bought a Miater last spring. Ibll be honest, at first I was like eh, this
is not my favorite car. After driving it for a while, its my DD in the summer,
and getting a feel for what it actually had in store for me I fell in love with
it. It doesn't have the power of my TR6 or TR8 but the darn thing handles like
it on rails. Air is cold and cruise works great. I can put the top up or down
manually while sitting in the drivers seat in about 30 seconds and it does not
leak. I have a 35 minute drive through the country each way to work and I have
a blast in the cures. I don't think tires are going to last me long in this
car.

Are Miata seats supposed to be comfortable? I spent last Saturday as a
Navigator on a club run for MX5's (the Miata for Europe) and was glad to get
home. What an utterly boring car. No rattles, no clunks, no unexpected
twitches from the back end and all too quiet for me in every respect - and
those seats were h**l !!!!!
I've no wish to ever ride in an MX5 again and they're ten for a penny here -
as everywhere else for that matter. Most them seem to be driven by women "of
a certain age" who are in bottom lip biting mode at 60mph and terrified
their blonde highlights and false fingernails will vanish in the slipstream.
Gimme a sidescreen TR with the Michelin X tyre technology of fifty years
back and an overdrive and I'll be as close to heaven as one can get this
side of mortality. Same goes for a Mk 1 GT6, Healey 100/6 or late model 3000
for a narrow English road, a slick surface and a few unexpected surprises
thrown in for good measure.
