It's not a "daily driver", by any means, though. Regards, Kempi '01 silver |

Reliability is a big problem, parts pricing and availability, service pricing (all of them dealers are BMW trained and have that same attitude...) I also drove a few of them and they do handle well - but they fell heavy. They may hold their value over time, but suspect most owners will spend lots more maintaining them over time. Long live the Miata. DS --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.806 / Virus Database: 548 - Release Date: 12/5/2004 |
