#529 of 4340 Is Mazda listening? by lateralg Aug 06, 2000 (2:20 pm)
Do any of the veterans of the Miata forum know if Mazda people are monitoring this forum? The Lincoln LS forum is being monitored by a number of Ford people who are in a position to provide sound info., and help owners get problems corrected. Does anyone know how to get this message to Mazda?
#530 of 4340 Convertible top by jscatena Aug 07, 2000 (1:59 am)
The blue soft top on my 1999 10AE has some tiny white specs on it. I can't tell if it's some kind of paint over spray or if the blue dye is spotting. Anyone else see this phenomenon? jpscatenat-one.net
#531 of 4340 Airbag Light Diagnostic by jsylvester Aug 08, 2000 (4:00 am)
Drove the Miata up to Lake Erie for the weekend. When I started it to go home, the airbag light started flashing, the pattern is 4 flashes in a row, then it pauses, does it again. Anyone have any idea what this means? I am assuming it is a self-diagnostic message, but cannot find anything on it. Thanks P.S. Waiting to order a 2001 Ford Crown Victoria (240 horsepower with the handling & Performance package), and I can put the Miata in the trunk if I have to take it in for service for this!

I have this belief that ignorant macho fools like this pure_evil are most likely 4'10" 90 lb goof ball 27 year old virgins who have a need to sound tough in places where nobody can see them.
#535 of 4340 Mazda Miata or Toyota MR2 by lahens Aug 10, 2000 (4:51 pm)
I plan to buy a two seater sports car in the next few months. I don't know if I should buy the Toyota MR2 Spyder or the Mazda Miata. Any advice? Lahens

Let me give it a try to answer your question Looks: both look quite different, Toyota is modern and fresh and will attract more attention. Mazda more classic looking but familar. Handling: very similar, Toyota has the slight edge on the track, but the Mazda may feel better balanced on the road. Acceleration: Toyota is faster by about .5--8 seconds to 60 due to more modern engine and less drivetrain loss. Interior: Toyota is more roomy on the inside, Mazda may be snug Storage: Both are skimpy but Mazda has a real trunk and has twice the storage space. Toyota has awkward storage behind seats and a front cubbyhole. Price: good luck finding a MR2 anywhere under $24K whereas Miatas can be had heavily discounted. In real world, you can get a comparably equipped Miata for thousands less than a MR2. Shifter: Mazda shifter is one of the best. Toyota is "more remote" and has longer throw. Aftermarket: Lots of aftermarket parts are available for the Miata, Toyota is too new. Reliability: Toyota should win here. If you can wait until late fall or spring, Mazda's 2001 model has numerous improvements including more power, bigger wheels, revised front end, new seats, improved handling, more standard equipment. I believe that the Miata is a better all-around car but the Toyota is a bit better if you want to race it. Ray

Thanks for the info. I think I might go for the MR2 Spyder since it looks more aggressive. The next thing is to find a good deal on one. Thanks, Lahens
