Feb. 2008,,,Test drove the new Mazda 'miata',,,nice, BUT

The seat is too high, for non-Japanese taller people. The leather is nice, but with so little of a bucket seat you slide all over the place in normal driving. We want to sit lower and more securely.

The color selection is limited, as you can not buy a pearl ice blue with tan leather in the new convertible hardtop. No more orange leather, please. And the center console is too big bloated to easily buckle up !!

The Europeans have been enjoying small car turbo diesels for years, so why do we still get the same old same old boring premium gasoline only engines ??

The rims and not that good looking with so many spokes,,,and no alternatives.

So much potential, and we get all these compromises. Wake up, Mazda, and give us something new and great like your direct injection engine, but better !
