    Default Miata (MX5) ranks high in Consumer Reports May issue!!

    I have a question. Does the moron who wrote that article know how HIDs work and why there is a sharp cut off at the top of the pattern? He states that like it's a problem when that is how they are designed and should work. Seems like he was looking for anything to fill space in his article.

    I am happy they gave it a very good rating.

    Yea he just seems to not know what the car is about. Talking about engine drone, snug interior, small seats, electronic stability only offered on the top models and the lack of telescoping steering in a small roadster really? I could go on...

    I thought it was cool that they credited the reliability of the Miata! Didn't really care much about the other verbage - don't see how they could really go in to much about how great it is for zipping around a parking lot or a track! :)

    I love my '99 - even if my steering wheel doesn't have tilt!!! And the wind noise is all part of having a convertible *ZOOM ZOOM*

    I dont think wind noise is that bad at all really? I am very impressed with the car, I just got my NC2 yesterday actually.. So far I love it (my first Miata), I think its a blast and the engine sounds great? Not really a drone.. I guess to each there own?

    I got an 09, and the plan for it is a track toy... I am dieing to get back out to MSR and Eagles Canyon lol.. It has been too long since I have been out (only a year though lol).. But that is the plan after the engine is good and broken in! :)
