I have the 6 speed automatic with paddle shifters on the steering wheel and I LOVE it! Traffic is always heavy where I live and the automatic is a blessing. I like having the option of using automatic or manual, depending on traffic!

I paid $18K for the 2007 Touring with 7000 miles and manual transmission. So far I'm lovin' it. There were a few 2006 models for sale from $16,500 to around $17,900 depending on mileage and condition.

Yeah, I'm sort of expecting those to drop as it gets colder.
 
You got a good price. That's only about $1000 more than a year-older car with many more miles, plus most of those are Sport models, not Touring.
 
Congrats.

The 2006 Touring is the same trim as the 2007 Sport. Go figure.

Yeah? I guess they added content?
 
It's hard to shop for used ones because there are 3 models and each year the content varies.
 
The other thing is that I'd like heated seats, but often they are paired up with the suspension package (not to mention loaded to the gills), and I'm not sure I want all that.

Rattling: is it the nature of the beast? by pasquali56

My wife has an '06 Grand Touring and loves it. The only problem is various rattling noises - both front and back. The dealer has never been able to solve the problem; my wife is now kind of resigned to the fact that a car like this is destined to be a little noisy, with rattles, etc. Should we accept this and live with it -- or do you think we should take it back to the dealer and be a little more forceful in resolving the issue? Thanks.

Do you have the stiffer suspension package? People complain about that being a bit stiff, and that could cause a jiggly ride.
 
Also make sure the tire pressure is no higher than what they put in the door jamb.
 
I have a '93, and it can take 26-28 psi in the tires. Any higher and the CD player skips like crazy.

Where can I find a good description of of the different trim packages? For example, what options/features are included in each.

For the current year, use Mazda's site.link title
 
For prior years, try Edmunds "Used Cars" then "Research Prices & Specs".

Programming the Keyless Remote by Birmingham
Dec 14, 2008 (3:54 pm)
Reply
Does anyone have experience programming the remote for keyless entry? I bought a brand new remote with programming instructions on eBay and had the blank key cut to match the original. I have followed the instructions exactly many times, but cannot get it to program. The dealer will program it for $95.00 but I would rather save the money and do it myself.
Let me know if you have gotten this to work for the 07 Miata.
Thanks!
