Replying to: brake4me1 (Sep 29, 2006 7:27 am) Congrad's on your new hard top   I have sold my only 2 for full list. No haggling by either customer, both just happy to have the opportunity to purchase one.

Replying to: brake4me1 (Sep 29, 2006 7:27 am) Congats! About $1500 off sticker. You might find lower prices this winter as demand drops. (I assume you can cancel your order.) I've never had any problem getting Mazda's below invoice. Just have to wait a bit for initial demand to die off.

Replying to: erics6 (Sep 29, 2006 9:06 am) I believe my deposit check is just being held and will not be cashed out, per dealer. I think the MX-5 PRHT might actually be a good selling car for Mazda dealers since there are so few retractable hard tops on the market. I do know if you want to order one with a lot of bells and whistles you will have to wait quite a while for it to be built and shipped.   The only two draw backs I've seen (and mentioned by other members) is the poorly laid out CD storage holder in between seats and possibly coffee holders. Since I have not driven test driven the hard top version it will be interesting to see how much outside noise is reduced by the hard top versus the soft top. I'm not crazy about wind noise and I understand that might not be a problem while driving under 75 MPH. Anyway thanks for your message. Replies to this message: erics6 (Sep 29, 2006 3:38 pm)

Replying to: brake4me1 (Sep 29, 2006 12:38 pm) I think it will be a good seller for Mazda too. Supply will catch up with demand though. Hard to say when...   My attitude about Mazda has always been... if you pay more than invoice, you're paying too much. I have two Mazda's now... they are a good car company.   Nice to see Mazda finally updated their website with 07's.

Sirius is currently having issues broadcasting to some Mazda Sirius sat radio tuners. You will get the message "UPDATING" flash across the head units LCD panel.
#86 of 229 Hood Sound Insulation by stopandgo Oct 02, 2006 (5:14 pm)
I was wondering if anyone has ever ordered sound insulation attached to the Miata front hood to diminish engine noise. I would think this would be practical and easy to do, but am not sure if you can factory order this, or have it installed at the dealership when the MX-5 comes in.   I would think the hood insulation would be a great help on a soft top MX-5, but also on the retractable. I have no idea the clearance space between the hood and engine but I assume there is enough space for insulation.   MX-5 engines seem to rev a little high in low gears and I was just wondering if extra sound proofing might help? All answers welcomed. Replies to this message: erics6 (Oct 02, 2006 6:21 pm)

Replying to: stopandgo (Oct 02, 2006 5:14 pm) No. Could do a homemade job, but not sure how much it would help. Really isn't worth the effort. Engine noise is part of the Miata charm. Miata is not a good long distance cruiser, but I've taken 4,000 mile trips in my NA with no issues. By comparison, the NC would feel like a luxury car.   You can wear earplugs for long drives. (I don't.) Most folks adjust.
#88 of 229 Roll Bars by vessadini Oct 03, 2006 (7:04 pm)
I am in the process of purchasing an 07 Grand Touring. I have a simple question that I need answered by someone here and not a salesman. Are the stock roll bars functional? I don't mean SCCA road racing functional, just are they anything more than decoration? I'm not for sure why it is important to me but I just want to know.   By the way, this will be my first roadster in many years (it has been a long time since my barely running TR-4 got me around in high school). Between my wife and I we have owned 7 Mazdas with three in the driveway right now.
#89 of 229 Tracking New Car Status by brake4me1 Oct 04, 2006 (3:19 am)
I was wondering if it is possible to track the status of a new Mazda being built in Japan? Kind of like tracking a UPS delivery I assume, but I'm not sure how you go about it. Once an order has been placed can the buyer get a tracking number from the dealer and then go on-line to Mazda to check on the status? It would be nice to see if a pre-ordered MX-5 is on schedule and narrow down a future shipment date.
#90 of 229 Re: White dot on my tail light [gypsy123] by mx5mk3 Oct 16, 2006 (11:28 pm)
Replying to: gypsy123 (Jul 26, 2006 7:27 pm) Hi, I have just received my MX5 NC a month ago, and 10 days after driving it, found a rattling noise on the driveshaft when the car is driven in low revs. I called the dealer on 2 separate occations and after 2 inspections, the answer I got was "IT IS A NORMAL NOISE ON ALL 3 GENERATIONS OF MX5s". I have been looking up this "noise" in many MX5 forums but haven't found such a NORMAL noise. Can anyone shed some light on this? THX!
