I'm waiting for my Mazda5 test drive invite. I registered for that BlockBuster offer.   I guess I'll drive an MX-5 as well.   -juice

This is the first roadster I have every driven, so to compare it to earlier model years, I can't. As far as leg room for 6-1/2 foot tall, I'd say try one on for size at your local dealer.

Got a chance to really ring out the '06 yesterday at Pomona. The '06 is noticeably wider inside the cockpit and I saw a few other people at the event that were at least 6'4" get in and out fairly easily. If you're taller, go try it out for yourself. The handling is still razor sharp (I drove an '05 at the Rev-it-up event last year), the shifter and clutch are among the best out there (I've driven a lot of cars: BMW, Honda, Audi, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Ford...), the performance is closer to the Mazdaspeed turbo version than to the previous generation's normally aspirated engine, and the car looks very sophisticated inside and out. We were able to hit about 45 mph on the longest straight and the wind was never noticeable. This thing felt almost as quick as its bigger brother RX-8. Very good brakes and overall extremely well balanced. My only complaint is that hard plastics have replaced a lot of the vinyl or leather coverings on interior surfaces compared to the outgoing model. Great fun in a slightly less small package.

definitely let us know what you think. And how it compares to the MazdaSpeed Turbo Miata of '05.

I am biased so my review comes from the standpoint that car was great to begin with..lol But frank4cars and some of the others have pretty much nailed it. Mazda took a good thing and made it even better...I don't think to many folks will be disappointed and current Miata owners will be very happy. They enhanced the car without losing sight of the cars concept or mission statement.  One thing I noticed right away was the overall ride. On rough roads the previous Miata jumped around a little due to the lightweight...the new car does not do this.
#4063 of 4340 the kibosh.... by audia8q Sep 02, 2005 (12:58 pm)
well my plan to drive a new Miata this weekend has been kiboshed....we got in three early in the week and one last night. as of now they are all sold. Very exciting and encouraging for Mazda.
#4064 of 4340 C&D by ateixeira Sep 06, 2005 (8:19 am)
Saw the C&D review. Hard to believe how badly it clobbers the Solistice and then they proceed to pick the Sol neeways.   8 mpg better, quicker, better brakes, better cornering limit, 400 lbs lighter, and they pick the Pontiac.   -juice
#4065 of 4340 no sense in that comparo by blueguydotcom Sep 06, 2005 (8:43 am)
It beats the Solstice and still loses somehow?! Replies to this message: m1miata (Sep 09, 2005 10:43 pm) blueguydotcom (Sep 10, 2005 1:03 am)
