#2461 of 4340 Rain by karl1973 Jul 27, 2002 (7:10 pm)
Keep your windshield clean. Use rain-X. It really works. Replace your wiper inserts. They at most last a year. But in the Florida sun, the UV may shortens their lives.

RainX your windows. It is possible to drive through a torrential downpour WITHOUT your wipers using RainX.

My dad used RainX on his Miata and I'm going to do the same with my Integra later today! Lots of crazy downpours recently.

I haven't been caught in any torrential down pours. I guess I've been lucky so far. The wipers on my 95 are slow too. Just like you said high speed is the same as other cars slow speed. They are however much better than the ones on my old MG. Rain X works well, but doesn't last long. Also sometimes it makes the wipers chatter. Best bet is new blades every 6 months or so.
#2465 of 4340 wipers revisited by lngtonge18 Jul 28, 2002 (5:37 pm)
My wiper blades are only a month old at the most. Though RainX works good, it has always caused my blades to squeal, chatter, wipe sporadically, and generally drive me crazy. Has anyone tried to put in a better motor? Why is the motor so slow?

Mazda has just announced 0% financing for 60 months on the Miata!!   Rich

the same day they released sales figures for July that show Miata was the only lagger of the bunch.
#2468 of 4340 Need some advise on a 2001 by thel Aug 06, 2002 (2:13 pm)
Hello all! The local dealer has a white base 2001 Miata with the convenience package and the "small" ground effects package. It has been on his lot for months and months. It is not used, it just seems that nobody wants it. What would be a reasonable offer? Is there any special incentives on these (I live in Mid-Missouri).   I would think that after awhile the dealer would simply sell it at auction, but I don't know for sure. I guess that Mazda is trying to move out the 2002's for the 2003's in September or so, but what do you do with an 01, treat it like a used car? Thanks in advance for any help.
#2469 of 4340 Base white Miata 2001 leftover by b10609 Aug 06, 2002 (6:47 pm)
My buddy just let me drive his 2001 Crystal Blue Miata (base 5 speed) bought this past March. Dealer sold it at his cost CDN $24,750 - $1000 to hold and balance in 90 days. Financing was around 4 % but I'm not sure what U.S. dealer would do dollar wise. Agree with other owners/buyers it's a bit tight. But...at 6'2" I almost wished I'd been born shorter because this is a beautiful driver & huge bang for the buck. White is a negative but okay for dust. Nice and cool on a hot sunny day, too. Go for it ! -Waterloo, Ontario
#2470 of 4340 buying 2001, just take into account its depreciated value by WarpDrive Aug 06, 2002 (6:54 pm)
You should be able to deal very aggressively on its price. I'd shoot for a fair bit below invoice. Just find the typical market price of a 1 yr old Miata and split the difference.   I bought my '99 10th Anniversary for basically dealer cost at the end of 99 model year. You should be able to do far better for a 2001.
