#34 of 226 Re: MX-5 Power Retractable Hard Top [aviboy97] by alaw35 Aug 07, 2006 (6:55 pm)
Replying to: aviboy97 (Aug 07, 2006 12:43 pm) Any idea of when dealerships will get the RHT in stock? I am struggling in a purchase decision between the MX-5 and a Nissan 350Z. I love them both for different reasons. If I get the Z I am getting a 2005 anniversary edition with about 10K miles on it. It is a wonderful car, but then I look at the MX-5 and I really enjoy it as well. I would love to be able to test the RHT model before deciding.

Replying to: alaw35 (Aug 07, 2006 6:55 pm) Any idea of when dealerships will get the RHT in stock?   Hopefully, November/December. Could be earlier.   The MX-5 and the 350Z are two totally different cars. However, the MX-5 is a true roadster and owns a spot in the Guiness Book of World Records for most 2-seater roadsters sold. Also has as close to a bullet proof track record as you can get, with great resale value.   The 350Z I have found to be great moving in a straight line. Lots of power. It's handling leaves much to be desired.   It all depends on what you are looking for. Good Luck.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Aug 07, 2006 12:43 pm) I do not think that this will be a vehicle that is produced in the masses like the regular MX-5. I was only allocated 1 last month. But, I guess we will see.   My local dealer said he is only getting one as well. Probably a Grand Touring with all the options. And, forget the prices quoted above, this will be a rare car for those who are willing to pay WAY above sticker to get something unique... just like the original Miata.... Too bad.
#38 of 226 MX-5 Power Retractable Hard Top demand? by gputz Aug 13, 2006 (4:12 pm)
My local dealer says he will be sticking to MSRP for upcoming orders on the RHT. What do people think about the demand for this car? Is MSRP a good price or would a smart buyer wait six months and hope the car does not have a waiting list with a premium over MSRP? There doesn't seem to be a lot of interest or demand yet... Will anyone want these? I live in the northeast and a hardtop is more appealing than a fabric or vinyl roof. Is that a common opinion?

Replying to: gputz (Aug 13, 2006 4:12 pm) If I didn't have 2 cars I would buy the HT. I assume MSRP will be the norm up here in the Northeast. Inventory of the soft tops is going up in the Boston area so discounts on 2006s should be good though.

Replying to: vegasresident (Jul 31, 2006 11:40 am) Have a 06 GT (Grand touring). Within 1 week, large door speaker would give totally distorted sound about 10-20% of start ups. Trim below drivers door squeaks on entry and egress. Bose auto sound adjustment doesn't work. Took it in - speaker acting up earlier that morning but not at dealer. Service manager said they would not look at it as it would ocnstitute fraud to work on a 'sound' car. I could not believe it and told him it was not everyday that I sought to have my new car door pulled apart for no reason. Also wouldn't unplug driver seat belt chime even though owner's manual instructs owners to get dealer to turn it off if you desire. I bought this car because of its outstanding quality reputation. So far like the car a lot, hate the bugs and the terrible dealer (mis)service.

Replying to: gputz (Aug 13, 2006 4:12 pm) Wait. Like all Mazdas the price will drop. Eventually - within 6-8 months it'll be at invoice or near. within a year it'll be a sub-invoice car like just about everything else they sell. Mazda sells great cars but their target market is a niche - people who like to drive - so generally their cars sell for far less than msrp.

#42 of 226 New Stormy Blue Metallic by gputz Aug 14, 2006 (4:55 am)
(MOVED FROM THE MX-5/SOLSTICE DISCUSSION THREAD)   I just placed my first allocation order for 2 2007 MX-5 RHT(Retractable Hard Top)yesterday.    1 Stormy Blue with Saddle RHT GT/6 Speed with Premium Package and 1 Copper Red with Saddle RHT GT/Auto.   Has anyone seen the new Stormy Blue Metallic? Is that the color seen in most of the RHT promos? Lighter or darker than Stratos Blue?   Upcoming RHT - Mazda site

I checked the status of my first MX-5 Power Retractable Hard Top, and it is on the water, headed my way! I should have it on my lot come end of September!
