Replying to: gputz (Sep 03, 2007 6:28 pm) What kind of hassles have you experienced? Did your dealer enter the order directly into Mazda (via computer) while you were present? It's sounding like dealers are making promises they aren't keeping, i.e. saying they have been allocated a PRHT, but maybe ordering a few months later?

Replying to: sher2327 (Sep 04, 2007 7:36 pm) A dealer can take an order whenever they choose, the problem is, the dealer can only actually "place the order" once a month, when allocation is due. If in that allocation, the dealer is not allowed to order a PRHT, then you must wait until the next allocation the dealer is allowed to. Make sense? A Mazda dealer cannot just "enter the order directly into the computer" when the customer is there. It just does not work that way. Replies to this message: sher2327 (Sep 11, 2007 6:42 pm)

Replying to: sher2327 (Sep 04, 2007 7:36 pm) I did watch the sales manager enter it directly into the computer and assume it was Mazda website. It's been one month and still no notification from Mazda that the order is being processed, but the sales manager is confident it's in process and he will be forwarding the VIN # to me when he receives notification. He told me 6 months to delivery so that is what I'm expecting. I wish there was a way to track progress through Mazda but there isn't. Frustrating. If delivery takes beyond 6 months I will be very unhappy! The anticipation of this car is very high Replies to this message: wilzap (Oct 03, 2007 8:30 pm) ateixeira (Oct 04, 2007 7:08 am) destry (Oct 04, 2007 3:47 pm) and 1 more... sher2327 (Oct 04, 2007 6:29 pm) wilzap (Oct 05, 2007 9:05 pm) and 15 more... gputz (Oct 12, 2007 5:42 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: aviboy97 (Sep 08, 2007 12:33 pm) I watched him enter the order, he even said this was the neatest part, i.e. to be able to watch the order get placed directly to Mazda. This dealer did have one allocation spot in August to fill and I assume it was me and what I saw was factual! It better have been or I will be extremely
#20 of 529 seats '08 by m1miata Sep 14, 2007 (7:32 pm)
I was told the seats are the same in width for 2008 Miatas. Well I sat in one yesterday, and I am thinking it does feel slightly wider. Or maybe I lost a couple of pounds??? Loren
#21 of 529 hoops by m1miata Sep 14, 2007 (7:35 pm)
Those hoops, alias roll bar hoops, actually too low for most drivers height? Yeah, I am one of those guys which buy a roll bar for soft top cars, just seems like the thing to do to save thy head. Loren
#22 of 529 Skip Barber Racing School by aviboy97 Sep 17, 2007 (9:22 am)
Last week, I went to Skip barber Racing School at Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, CT. Mazda is one of the brands of choice to race with Skip Barber, as well as BMW and Porsche. I must say, we drove the MX-5 on an autocross track, and the car was just amazing. Now I know why the MX-5 has been highly regarded as a true sports car with lots of racing credentials. Kudos Mazda for building such a true performer. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Sep 17, 2007 10:02 am) aviboy97 (Sep 17, 2007 11:41 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Sep 17, 2007 10:02 am) It was a lot of fun. The instructors said it was the best job they ever had.

Replying to: sher2327 (Sep 04, 2007 7:36 pm) The dealer told me they were ordering my PRHT MX-5 on 6/6/07. I was told it would be arrive within 2-3 months (at the most). I was then told in August that I would have my car no later than 9/8/07. Now the dealer has told me that 9/8/07 was the day construction of my car would start, and I would have to wait another 2-3 months. I am most disappointed! By the time I get my car it will be just in time to drive it over to my storage facility. This car had better be worth it!
