nice, does it come with a matching mini skirt for you to wear? :lol: :lol: :lol:

edit: i just saw in your sig it says jennifer....so i guess my joke isnt as funny as i thought it was. lol

im only kidding. nice miata. i love miatas, but i wouldnt trade my 8 for one...maybe a mazdaspeed miata...no actually. haha. but i would like to get an old one to tinker with as a project. I think that style that you have is definitly the nicest looking of the 3 generations. sorry to hear about the 8 going though. its the miata feeling car with space for more than a 3 ring binder and a boatload of quirks. haha.

lol at chris.

well my rx8 had too many problems and mazda nor the dealership wanted to fix it i got tired of it breaking and the warranty 4500 away from being gone. so i said f-it and got something else the miata has 87,000 miles but upon research they are good cars so so far i'm happy with it

and i went from a 550 car payment to a 225 payment. i'm not complaining lol

my car had tranny issues, broken 2nd gear, the engine wasn't working right, it was bad on gas. I needed something more fuel efficient and not so high maintenance. the rx8 is actually sitting in front of it. i haven't gotten rid of it yet.

the miata isn't a comparable replacement for the 8 in any way shape or form... but, it's still a fun car, and it's a mazda. congrats.

I agree, the Miata is a much different platform than the RX8. Clearly a good performer based on the amount of them you see racing every weekend.

I own you buddy!
not comparing my miata to an rx8 but i will say that i am happy with it, and the fact that no one wanted to fix my rx8 under warranty made me get rid of it. I just dont' think at this time financially i can handle a high maintenance car. My miata handles great and it's fun! perfect car for me.

maybe the older versions arent comparable but i hate to tell you guys the newer NC like the one i have is the same platform and parts bin shares a ton with the 8

Nice NB. personally, my fav body style Miata. the NC is nice, but i would take an NB over it anyday. good purchase.

Nice NB. I had one too. My only regret was not modifying the suspension more while I had it.

well it has alot of miles on it. i mean 2000 87,400 miles. i only went for it becasue i did alot of research and heard they are very reliable, the engine is clean, the interior is perfect. no problems with it, drives smooth. so i figured time to get into something i can pay off and save money with to get ahead in life. new year so i'm going to try my best. But please forgive me, i did research but i'm not familiar with the different styles of miatas.

can anyone explain to me??

I don't think anybody is questioning your decision. Its your money, you can buy what you want!

As for Miata styles...try www.google.com and look them up.

Anything Mazda is cool and if you had a bad 8 I do sympathize - so far the only thing wrong with my 8 was a rat committed suicide in the air conditioner, and a mouse ate the compression belt on the air conditioner. Good luck with your new car...

05BlueRX8
01-01-2009, 11:42 PM
oh ouch rat smells...and mice?? never heard of that but man i bet that's a pain in the ass..

and thank you.

Why is a RX-8 caled an FE. Look at your Miata's VIN and it should be obvious.

what i'm saying is i figured it out. i just didn't know exactly why they were called that. i got it now don't worry

But it has a much shorter wheel base.
