Replying to: medic481 (Jan 06, 2009 1:30 pm) I have found the base (non-sport) suspension to be fine for everyday spirited driving fun, and people who've driven both tend to say the "sport" suspension is actually softer. Body roll is a bit excessive with both, that's been my only complaint. I thought I would want the limited slip differential, but on dry pavement I haven't really needed it like I imagined I would. It's always a pretty composed little car. If you live in the snowbelt, the LSD is probably worth it. If you autocross or race, you'll probably want to ditch all the OEM stuff with either suspension. |

I'm doing a bit of research and I'd like to find out the headlight height (above the ground) for a 2007 Miata. It's likely to be pretty much the same for 2005-2008. Anybody have a tape measure and willing to measure from the ground to the approximate center of their headlights? TIA. Mike

..selling sailboat/trailer(Sunfish) and a new MX-5 will fit the vacant space in my garage. Three questions: 1. Do all the model trim engines require Premium fuel? 2. Is the SV as hard to locate as it seems for this sailor on the left coast? 3. The next trim line up ($1000 more IIRC) from the SV is the Sport. Appreciate any feedback on what an MX-5 Sport might reasonably sell for new.............. all the best, ez....

Replying to: ezshift5 (Feb 25, 2009 8:58 am) I've never seen an SV, so good luck. I'm shopping for used ones. I'm on the other coast. Here, new ones go from $22k for a basic sport to about $28-29k for a fairly loaded PRHT. What I'm finding, though, it cheap used ones. I saw a 2008 PRHT Grand Touring, 6 speed manual, which would sell for about $27k new, for $19,999 used with 3k miles. 3k miles is nothing. $7000 off is something. Very tempting. So consider getting a better equipped model slightly used. I have a 1993 model now that is working fine, and used prices are dropping on the PRHT models, so I'm being patient. Still - I want the PRHT for a little more security and to make it a better car in the cold, plus heated seats. Those are things I wish for that I don't have now. Good luck shopping.

Replying to: ezshift5 (Feb 25, 2009 9:15 am) If that car sells tomorrow I'll know you bought it, LOL.  j/k, I've seen one other loaded PRHT for under $20k, so they're not that rare. This just happened to have extremely low miles. |

I'm looking at getting an '08, but the driver's seat lacks enough lumbar support for me. Can someone tell me if there is an access (zipper, etc.) to open the seat cover (either the cloth or leather seats) so a lumber support can be added (thread it through the seat cover opening to the front lower seat back)? Does it look as though the side airbags would allow access to the lower front seat back under the seat cover? I didn't think of looking for this when I test drove one. Thanks!
