The car is driven everyday. Still have the squeal problem when backing out of the garage. This should not be normal on any vehicle. I have a 2008 Honda Accord sitting next to the 2008 Miata and it does not squeal, even when it hasn't been driven for a couple of days.

I am looking for miata the first dealer I phoned in ny didn't want to sell it to me, sounds like getting further away from the border might work? Have they respected the warranty now you've had it for a few months or are you still just as happy. Thanks

Still Happy, and the dealer that I bought from has given me a call to see how everything is. They are in Southern California, and the saleman said that if I knew of anyone that was looking they would be happy to put a deal together. Seems that the first deal to a Canadian when smooth for them as well and they would do it again. Warranty has not been an issue, haven't had to use it yet. I know that the local dealer will honor it as I've talked with others that I know in the industry and they realize the scope of the imports, as a matter of fact I know of a local ford dealer who is bringing in US cars as well. If you are looking for a Mazda let me know and I will put you in touch. Will need your email so that we can exchange info..let me know.

It's doing great now! Everything was covered and I'm very happy with my MX-5.
I am averaging 27mpg/300 miles a full tank and that's driving city & highway!

Thanks for the encouragement, I found a used car with 750 miles. I am going to go look at it, hoping to buy it and bring it back through customs, doing a road trip up through the eastern sea states and east coast of Canada. It reads that it is possible 30 day temporary permit , and my insurance company doesn't have a problem. The only caution I have seen that the fax gets to US customs, and be prepared to pay the tax and duties. Did you bring your car in yourself? Thanks

If the price is right it should be a no brainer if this is what you are looking for. You can have the documentation faxed to the border prior to you arriving 72 hrs before arriving (weekends don't count) Monday to Fri only and I believe between 8am and 3pm is what most of the border crossing allowing for imports. Once you clear US customs then the Canadian side will take your GST and Import Tax (6.1%) on a credit card. Yes I brought the car into Canada myself, it's a piece of cake, just make sure to fax the following to US Customs...Bill of Sale, Original Title (MSO) Manufactors Statement of Origin, and letter of No Recall, from dealer or manufactor. Good luck and hope it all goes well, zoom zoom

Finally took mine back to the dealer. They turned the front rotors and sanded the disc pads. This seems to have corrected the problem. They have not squealed in over three weeks.

They replaced the gas sensor and I don't think my MX5 is that great on gas. I am only averaging 300 miles per full tank of gas. How many miles should I be getting on the highway with a full tank of gas? How many miles per tank driving in the city? How about combined driving?
Thanks!
