Replying to: pao (Jan 10, 2006 10:41 am) I just noticed though... every time someone calls it a "Sol", I think of the Honda Civic Del Sol, which is not a good thing. But it was sort of a rival to the Miata in the 90s, so I'm sure that many Miata enthusiasts think "Del Sol" when they see "Sol". Could we call abbreviate it to "Sols" instead? |

anything can happen to any car at any time. If you had bought the Solstice, you'd be hitching a ride everywhere. Regardless of how many Pontiacs I have bought at our local GM dealer (and it was a few up until a few years ago), not once was I ever offered a car to drive during warranty work or for GM problems. I like the looks of the Solstice, but based on warranty and things like a loaner from Mazda when you need work done on your car... I would lean more toward the MX5 if I was in the market for such a car. Quite honestly, the used 350Z roadsters are coming down into the high 20's at this point and I'd opt for a used one of those before either of these cars.

My Saturn dealer had several courtesy cars - L series and Vues - for that purpose. When I had to leave the Miata in the shop I did get an Economy rental voucher. The loaner voucher was good only for Economy's cheapest model. In my case, I wound up getting a Ford ZX something and a Daewoo Lanos, both awful little cars. I am no fan at all of the Nissan.

Replying to: pao (Jan 12, 2006 5:17 am) Whenever you have time. sorry to hear about the troubles with the new MX5..and that even Mazda service techs dont know what they are looking at sometimes.....or the parts ordering system makes mistakes too My Mazda repair experience was equally bad. The workers actually broke (and did not bother to fix until I came back) the latches that hold the panel cover under the steering wheel while addressing software glitches. They also told me the car was fixed and had me come in, only to discover no one had looked at it yet. isnt Mazda North America..part of Ford????..when you go to the ford website...is shows them as part of their "family brands? Ford is Mazda's largest shareholder and has, I believe, two seats on the Mazda board of directors.

Got the car back this morning, seems like the problem is fixed...I'll keep my eye on it to make sure...The drive home from the dealership reminded me why I bought this car...I really do love it!
