Replying to: accelerator (Aug 31, 2007 6:22 am) Temps are mild in the Mid-atlantic right now, so it's been perfect top down weather. FWIW, the Miata PRHT (power retractable hardtop) is in such high demand that dealers command MSRP and there are wait lists in some places. One dealer employee here on Edmunds (aviboy) says his dealer has only had 1 allocated to them so far and it sold at MSRP immediately. People shopping for them are having a hard time even finding them. Mazda has a hit on its hands. Funny thing is the soft tops are readily available and heavily discounted.

We just got in a few 2008 rag tops, and only 1 hard top, which sold at MSRP before it got here no questions asked. That is basically what we have been seeing. The hard top is so desirable, and supply is so low, when someone can find one, they buy it instantly. |

Does the S2000 take premium fuel? Miata does. I have a '93 Miata and it's turned out to be an efficient little commuter. I get about 27-28mpg on plain old regular. Mazda now wants 91 octane for the 2006+ models, actually they've recommended premium since the 2000 model IIRC.

Replying to: accelerator (Aug 31, 2007 10:09 am) I get about 27-28mpg. The tank is tiny, though, I think it's about 11 gallons on mine. So I usually don't even make it to 300 miles before I have to fill up. I'd love another 100 miles of range, basically. Newer Miatas hold 12.7 gallons, so that's a bit better I guess. |
