Your thoughts on this....UPDATE 3-25-06 PAGE2

What do you guys/girls think on the new 06Mazda mx-5? you think it has potential? 170hp rwd 2seater and so forth...

i took it for a test drive awhile back (grey 6sp sport)and i like it over the previous model 05Mazda Miataspeed which was turbocharge...

as some of you know im getting rid of the civic, it has 131,000+ and in ok shape.. kinda im thinking about getting it since i like roadster and its much faster...i was going to get the new s2k but its out of my buget and i dont want a used one... and the mx-5 fits my buget...well tell me what you think good or bad....and if theres other cars around the 23g's range i have thought of..

thanks!

What about a Toyota MR2? It has less power but it has a mid-mounted engine and its rwd.

also to put with new cars, come better realiability. Lets pretend you dont have a civic and dont have money for a new one so you go out and buy a used one....like mine..thinking its in good condition...and lets say in about 3000 miles later the moter seizes up...yah feel me? that one of my main concerns...

but i do intend to buy one(s2k) 4-6years later after im done with the mx-5

Miata's are a lot of fun. Decent power, but it's such a small car it's like a gocart with a strong motor.

Sucks having no backseat, though....

If you get a MX-5 try and get the sport package or the grand touring package because you can get a 6spd manual and you can get the suspension package with the LSD. I went on the mazda website to price one out

haha, true that

Last time I had ridden in one I was a senior in HS. So it was a few years, and a few pounds ago. I actually fit in just fine.

Amazingly, japanese cars are more roomy than american cars. go figure...
