I did try a 2009... and yes, the seat is much improved. Just seeing BIG discounts on the '08's so trying to figure if I can salvage this or will have to wait to save more $ for '09.

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.

2008 MX5 Trunk Space by lotiondoc

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.

I will suggest an alternative - try one of those folding camping chairs. They fold away very small, and my friend uses them at the beach, and they sink a little but basically work OK.
 
On a different note, I found that my tire air pressure was up to 45psi, the dealer forgot to air down during the PDI. Ride quality is much better now. Tolerable for sure.

..........IIRC, I am sure a dealer told me 'no 2009 models - next is 2010' . Using some windage and the ESL factor, there appears to be an accuracy/authenticity concern here.
 
I guess I'm asking the question: 'is there an "09" MX-5 model?"
 
all the best.............ez

There are 09s, in fact this delaer has 4 in stock right now, and just 1 left over 2008.

The 09s came late so I guess they could have skipped a model year, but they didn't.
 
Here is the odd part - my new 2008 was selling side-by-side with a 2010 Mazda3.
 
I keep cars for a long time so the model year isn't that important to me. Not to mention they knocked about $7000 off the MSRP.

question on '08 int. lights by tishpit1

I recently bought an '08 Touring and noticed the other night that the power window switches had small red lights that make it easy to find at night, but the power door lock buttons and mirror adjustments do not light up though there seems to be the same little "bumps" that are lights on the window controls. Are these supposed to light up or not? Also, the knob that you push in to switch to recirculating air does not light up, but the knobs that show a/c on and rear defogger do light when activated. Am I needing a trip to the dealer or is this "normal?"

I have an 08 , and the window buttons in mine light-up red....as does every knob and button on the dash. It looks like an F-18 cockpit at night....less the landing gear. (LOL)

The recirculating button is suppose to light up.
