I haven't gone to a dealership to look at one, but I have seen both thesoft-top
and hard-top versions of the new Miata. In general, I don'tlike the new car.
It's bigger and heavier than the previous model, andI think looks less
distinctive. My brother-in-law has a '93, and I lovethat car - small, quick,
great engine note, very simple and easy topdesign.... And I love the shifter -
just a flick of the wrist andyou're away!
I think the hard-top is a great idea for the majority of Miata driversI see
around here, who leave their hardtops on well into June and putthem back on in
September. The rest of the time, they drive around withthe top up and the A/C
on!
I suspect you're not part of that group, Steve, but I always wonder whythey
bother buying this car (same with the BMW Z-series cars) if theydon't really
enjoy the wind in their hair!

Subject: [Mgs] miata question
Has anyone had a look at the new retractable roof Miata's . Just left the
dealers, I'm thinking about trading my 2002. It only has 19,000 miles but I
really like the body style on the new ones. Any pros or cons appreciated.
