Why does anyone care about this? I mean sure we want a certain amount of truth in advertising, but it's not like this really changes anything. The car still accelerates and goes as fast as they say it does. What else do you need, bragging rights?
#3532 of 4340 It doesn't matter a whole heck of a lot. by poorrichard01 Apr 13, 2004 (11:49 am)
That's why I say I should get off my duff and check out the (California) car for myself.   As for the truth-in-advertising thing, it's like Auric Goldfinger told James Bond: "Once is happenstance; twice is coincidence; three times is enemy action." I can forgive Mazda once or twice -- but three times and there's something fishy goin' on.   Poor Richard

To the contrary, if I test drove and liked a Miata enough to buy it, then Mazda threw another $500 or other incentives in my face, I'd happily take whatever they were offering.   Shoot, I hope that happens to my 1993 Miata. Did it *really* make 116hp?   What about my 1998 Forester? I'd love it if Subaru said it only makes 160hp instead of 165hp and threw some Benjamins in my pocket!   -juice

Hear hear!! I'll raise a beer to that! I happened to buy my Tiburon 6 months after the whole hp snafu. I missed out on the extended warranty because of it. I would have gladly been lied to to get an even better warranty.   On a sidenote, Mazda did list hp as slightly lower on California cars in the late 90s, thus why I have some trust in their numbers.

. . . as always for the insight, info and discussion.   Poor Richard
#3537 of 4340 Found a Miata by thel Apr 22, 2004 (7:13 am)
It's a 92 B-package with 103,000 miles, white, rota subzero rims with Toyo Proxes tires. The only problem with it is that the AC has run out of the R-12 freon and doesn't work. I'm hoping to maybe do an R-134 conversion and get it working again w/o having to replace condensers, etc.   The seller is wanting $3,700 for it so I'm thinking I may buy it. The tires and wheels alone are worth $600+. Any thoughts?

how's the top?   conversion to R-134 will run ya probably $500 if the usual suspects are needing replacement. if it's white I'd consider ripping out the AC completely; double black is miserable mid-summer but white should be a lot more tolerable as long as you're not stuck in gridlock.   ~c
#3539 of 4340 Top is in good shape by thel Apr 22, 2004 (8:31 am)
No gridlock around here unless you go to the Lake of the Ozarks on holiday weekends LOL.   I never used the AC in my 02 much unless I was feeling like a wimp or I got caught in the rain and I needed the defroster. I've got an 04 Matrix XRS for days like that though. Maybe with an old NA in the garage, I'll like my Matrix more.
