How is everyone doing on MPG? I have the new PRHT and have had 3 things go wrong... 1st - Purge Valve Silinoid switch went bad and my check engine light came on... 2nd - Had to replace the Fuel sending unit because my gas gauge wasn't working properly 3rd - I had to get a new gas cap because mine wasn't sealing tight, yet causing the check engine to come on. I hope I didn't make a wrong decision in buying my MX-5!

Good luck and enjoy

Yeah, I have the 6 speed Auto and I know I'm not getting that good of gas mileage! I will probably be trading this car soon because I am not happy with it!

| I have noticed with the 2008 MX-5 that after the car has sat in the garage overnight that the brakes squeal when my wife backs out of the driveway. The calipers are dry when the car is parked (could understand after a wash or rain) a film of rust forming on the rotors, but this is not the situation. After a couple of applications of the brakes it does disappear, wondering if it is just the newnest or the brake pads need to heat up, anyone else discovering the same situation. | |

Replying to: jimplogger (May 24, 2008 10:49 am) In summary: The good news is this is completely normal. The bad news is that this is completely normal because you dont drive your car enough!! shame on you!  This is due to oxidation which builds up over time on your between your rotors and pads. If you dont use the brakes for a while you will get the squeal due to this build up. If will stop squeezing after a few days of "regular" driving and braking. You may confirm this by calling your Mazda dealer and asking someone in the service department. You will get pretty much the same response. |
