Pros: What do you like about 2008 Mazda Miata?
Styling.
Interior fits like a glove.
True sports roadster.
Daily driver with 30+- mpg.
Ample trunk.
Sweet motor.
Nice short throw shifter.
Comfortable seats for long drives.
The Mazda dealership repair department respects this car, so much more.

Radio electronics are a bit out of character by being very complicated.
Lack of small emergency spare tire.
The simpler, the cheaper, the more fun.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Mazda Miata?
Sporty.
Fun to Drive.
Agile.
Retractable Hard-Top.
Great MPG.
Twice-pipes in rear.
Colors especially red (copper).

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Mazda Miata?
Better grill.
Almost all Miata drivers like the old tail lights.
Interval wipers.
Redesign console/cup holders.
Convert the indentation and front of console to tray with lid.
Outside temp and/or compass on rear view mirror would be nice feature.

2008 Mazda Miata Review:
Sporty looks (though not deafening), inexpensive and the most fun car to drive. Quality workmanship and engineering keep it out of the shop. I can dream of BMW roadsters and Maserati racers but I'm happy every day with my Miata. If you're not having fun in a Miata, we don't know how to drive.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Mazda Miata?
rear view mirror with outside temp and n/e/s/w/ directions.
the middle storage area is hampered by a low hanging catch so that you can't close it if you have anything higher then the cupholder sides. the sliding lid needs revamping.
Also the need to use Premium fuel--IN A 4 cyl car that has only 166hp. Come on now!
I did not know this till my 1st fill-up. Yikes!!!

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Mazda Miata?
Peppy car, fun to drive. Grand Touring Hardtop convertable gives you the best of both worlds.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Mazda Miata?
2008 Miata Driver seat SUCKS! Get rid of the height adjustment! or re-design it). Bar in left edge of seat really hurts after an 1/2 hour of sitting. Seats without the height adjustment are confortable. Mazda needs to recall with a fix for the seat problem.

2008 Mazda Miata Review:
Everthing about this car is great for the price. Love the Hard top convertable feature. Rag tops has a cross-member over your head, Hardtops do not. Hardtops has more headroom.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Mazda Miata?
I was wondering about the potential use of space in the doors between the exterior metal skin and the interior door panel where the arm rest is. I think the arm rest should have had a flip up access where you could put things like pens glasses or maps. the manual parking brake handle should be removed and a foot peddle should be used instead. the door bottle holder area should be redesigned for another use; like a flip out storage bin. if something like that was done to the interior door panel i would probably buy them and replace the existing ones just for a little more space. How about placing the front plate below the grill?

2008 Mazda Miata Review:
Get a life. The cup holders in the doors and console are just fine. She's a specialty car for those who want a sports carand lets hope Mazda keeps putting the money into quality instead of advertising.
