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.
