..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....

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.

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!

Sweetness, just picked up my new 2008 PRHT Touring with the Suspension Package. Oh my, it's a lot sportier than my 93, perhaps because my shocks were gone. Also the much lower profile summer tires and the extra power - woo hoo I can't wipe this smile off my face! Still gotta fine tune the seating position and the bottle holder rubs my knee (though not too bad). There is also more tire noise, and the ride is stiffer. Seems MUCH sportier, though. Gotta stay under 4000rpm for 600 miles. Those will be a long 600 miles.

Hi, I recently picked up a new 2008 Miata with the power retractable hardtop. My question is regarding oversize packages in the trunk. Has anyone discvovered a way to use the stretchable (bungee)cords to tie down items that cannt fit into the trunk? I wuold likedto take my beach chairs and other beaching stuff on a trip to the beach. It is more fun in the Miata that my other car-a sedan  . I would appreciate any information or giudance you can provide. Thanks.
