The only catch is the redline markings all but disappear on the 2006-2008 models. They fixed that for 2009.

I now have the recirculating light working.... but do your POWER LOCKS and POWER MIRRORS switches in the door light up???? Mine do not, yet still have those little "bumps" that illuminate on other switches.

Glad your recirculating light is working. The power locks & mirrors switches DO NOT light up.

Ah-hah... thanks destry... I wasn't sure if it was supposed to or not. Odd that the switches on the doors of my Nissan all lit up at night. Would be nice if they did in the Miata. Oh well, at least all is working as it is supposed to.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what engine choices (if any) were available in 2006 and newer Miata's? How would I then identify which is in the Miata I'm looking to buy?

All have the same tuned DOHC 2.0l engine.
Automatics make a tad less output, 158hp vs. the 166hp in the manuals.
2009 models got very, very subtle improvements but it's hardly worth mentioning. I think power went up by 1hp.

ateixeira is correct on all points, for the US market at least. I seem to recall there was a change in how the hp was calculated a few years ago, so you may come across older reviews in which a slightly higher number is quoted, like 170hp. It's been the same engine all along, though. I forget what the torque is, but it's certainly adequate for such a light car, especially with a manual transmission.

Thanks, I'm slightly embarrased. I should have done more research before I posted this question. I am looking to buy an '06 and appreciate the input of those on this forum.

I have a 2007 and it's the 6 speed auto with paddle shifters. The window sticker says I have 163hp. The 6 speed manual has 166hp. It's the same for the 2006 models. I hope this helps!

Correct, it was 170hp before they were forced to state SAE hp (basically the output with all the accessories attached). That's why the rating dropped to 166hp. The actual output was unchanged.
