Here is one, more on pic thread.

(EDIT) I put the seats at an angle like that to prevent direct sunlight from heating them up too much

cool car, too bad I can't fit in them :(

Tirminyl 08-19-2004 06:59 PM

Cool car indeed and fun to drive. I left away jealous that it had partial hard pipes and I didn't. It's shifter was much better and felt tighter. If only they had a coupe.

hey man. i really want to get a test drive of mazdaspeed mx-5.
but.. how could a young man(just 19) driving a new 8 and.. ask for a test drive.
give me some idea how to ask for a test drive. thanks

Tirminyl 08-19-2004 07:31 PM

Basically, if they see you roll up in an 8 then that's a shoe in. They know that you can afford that car and that you could be a potential buyer. Just look at the car ask some questions and say your "interested". Talk over with them, sit in it, and ask if they are willing to give a test drive. Each dealer is different so they could be on that "You have to buy before you drive" kick. In which case you tell them to...

I don't know if that will actually work. I usually say I want a test drive. I have driven a rx8, Mazda6, Mazda3, & Mazdaspeed MX-5, among other cars. I usually don't go to dealerships for test drives but I wanted to drive these and I did.

I would love to drive an 8 again. It's weird how that's the only car (besides the Acura TL) that I have been longing to test drive for an extended period.

Not a giant, but my legs are too long to be comfortable in it. The seat doesn't move back either.

cortc 08-20-2004 03:32 PM

Very nice, the one I drove was silver; actually thought about getting it as a second car for the wife/third car for me...

And the MS Protege is a great car also; one of the guys that used to work for me picked one up at our dealership last year and he loves it... I have driven them, they drive real nice...

Enjoy...:)

I just have one question......aren't they changing the style of the miata for a 2005 or 2006 model? and if so will the new model be available in mazdaspeed version??? or will they end the mazdaspeed with this generation :confused:

cortc 08-20-2004 05:34 PM

It will most probably end and then return after a few years of production...

Berni 08-20-2004 08:24 PM

From what the dealer told me (by the way he is totally a cool guy) this is the end of this model special car so like, i guess the vette with the Z06, or mustang with the cobra the MS will return after sale of the new model plateau.

shelleys_man_06 08-20-2004 10:46 PM

There's three of them for sale, still, at my local Mazda dealership. I wish I could test drive one, but I really wish it had the RENESIS motor. Nuts.

RX-Hachi 08-21-2004 02:17 AM

So which car keys do you find yourself gravitating to more often, the MS Miata or the RX-8?

they make a hard top you know

shelleys_man_06 08-21-2004 09:05 PM

Too bad they only sell it in Japan, and there's only about 300 of them (I think). :rolleyes:

Berni 08-21-2004 09:58 PM

RX- Hachi,


To tell the truth i go for the Miata keys more right now. summer time ..i can put the top down..it is new....annoying red light racers seem to leave me alone (right now). Very good queston. I will update you after the new ness wears off.

Yes, I know but its just not the same. I really don't like the look of them with the hard-top.

Check out the official...
 
...Miata Coupe site from Mazda Japan. The design is very cool indeed...to me, has some FD in it, especially toward the rear.

I really wish I could justify the want of the MazdaSpeed Miata...it looks great and (very much like our 8s) every reviewer has come away very impressed. It really is the perfect summer car. I wanna' test drive one...but my checkbook and fiance may have something to say against it! :p
