Replying to: manybmws (Nov 19, 2006 4:24 pm) did the dealer fix all under warranty?   if they couldnt adjust the door gap...I would say find another dealer....what we are finding is poor uninformed service departments....vice GM issues.....   care to be more specific....oil leak or differential leak... top failed to secure in back..not quite sure what you mean squeak in dash..from where gap..can be repaired or cant be adjusted?

Replying to: pao (Nov 21, 2006 4:54 am) creative packing is not much of an issue in the MX-5 as it is in the Solstice. There is a decent amount of space in the MX-5 trunk.

Miata vs. Solstice? Just look around: the Solstice is in short supply, being sold for sticker or (more often) $1500 over sticker. That's assuming a dealer even has one. I can walk to any Mazda dealer and get a Miata in 5 minutes, and probably deal on it too......on the other hand, it is clear that GM can produce many thousands more Solstices than it is making now. The co. does not, b/c this is its status car. GM, crank out more Solstices!! Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Nov 25, 2006 7:05 am) audia8q (Nov 25, 2006 7:54 am) pao (Nov 26, 2006 4:09 pm)

The Pontiac dealer down the street from me has had the same 3 Solstices out front for 2 months now with "Save Thousands!" written on a tag hanging in the window. One is red, one is bright yellow and the other silver.   If you are in the North East, you can pretty much get a deal on any rear drive car this time of year, except the Shelby GT500.

You can also get the car for invoice without much effort.   Guess the bloom is off the rose already...how about the fools that paid MSRP or more!!...

Replying to: audia8q (Nov 25, 2006 7:54 am) having called a few dealers in the NE....CON, MASS, RI...I havent found a dealer yet with one not dealing at MSRP....if you have a specific dealer with Sols in stock that will deal at MSRP or lower.....pls email me.....and I will forward to several folks who would make the trip......and deal.......

Replying to: manybmws (Dec 11, 2006 5:27 pm) same old issues we have heard about since it first hit the market..no storage, dont like the top operation, plastic interior...noise.......we have heard this over and over again...and its still out selling the MX-5 here in the US on a monthly basis....this car isnt meant to be a daily driver....for 90% of the owners..its a 2d or 3rd car...and I would be the same holds true for the miata   if you have owned one, driven one for an extended period of time......well, ours is over a year old now...21K on it..and still love the car......enough said....   everyone has their choice in autos...yours is apparently BMWs....I like the brand and quality...but hate the scheduled maintenance costs.....to properly maintain them Replies to this message: manybmws (Dec 12, 2006 8:45 am) pao (Dec 12, 2006 8:57 am)

Replying to: pao (Dec 12, 2006 4:58 am) But their resale values are lower and that will have an effect on TCO no matter how many cars you have.   See my profile - I own a 2003 BMW 530i and a 2006 MX-5 GT. Replies to this message: pao (Dec 12, 2006 8:57 am)
