Replying to: aviboy97 (Jun 13, 2006 11:37 am) Purchase date oct 15th. 1st problem, oct 16th. .. to date my car has been to the dealer for the following... Vacuum pressure problems in Fuel tank - 6 times, Airbag sensor switch under seat 3 or 4 times, rear drivers shock leaking all of it's oil - 1 time, dipstick breaking off into the engine somehow - 1 time. I filed under the lemon law and after 9 weeks of constant calls and a lot of waiting I was told they'd replace the car but I'd have to pay another $2,200 because of mileage. I explained that I didn't want the car after the 1st week. I had 5 problems in the 1st 7 days... ... This car has been nothing but a headache. I found out today that I will not get the full purchase price so I told them I just wanted a check and I won't ever buy a Mazda. They didn't really care.. i guess they make enough money... Well, while out looking at other cars the dealer asked what that noise is coming from my car.. it's an exhaust leak.. so.... now I have to take the car back to the dealer one last time. Point is.. Don't buy one.. if you have a problem MazdaUSA won't take care of you.

"  Well said Mighty, thus the reason I bought the Honda S2000; Much superior car in all aspects, handling, POWER (smoke the Mazda Speeds all the time), looks and reliability. Quite simply a better car. I'd even trade that MX-5 for a SKY or a Solstice (get the Red Line edition) and MX-5s will be a glimmer in your rear view.

Replying to: glennglenn (Aug 10, 2006 2:55 am) Yes, it is faster, however, the MX-5 is a true roadster, where the S2000 is more of a high performance vehicle, with a much higher price tag. It all depends on what you are looking for in a vehicle. I would hardly call the Solstice or Sky a reliable vehicle, they are unproven, and their respective companies are not known for reliability.

" Oh Please AviBoy, the 2000 is a TRUE Roadster and yes, it'll smoke any Miata I know. As for price, I paid 29K for a fully loaded 2006 (list was 34K). How can you say that it has a much higher price tag. The Honda is also very reliable. In addition, the Solstice and Sky are too new for reliability factors to be determined. I still view the Sky Red Line as a great alternative to the Miata for about 27 K. Its a very nice car. In my opinion, the Miata still carries the moniker of a "chicks car" and has been unable to shake that for years.
