Hello everyone,

Purchased my dream car last year, Miata 2008 Grand Touring PHT with 6 S Auto.

Just completed a 700 mile trip to Acadia National Park and loved EVERY mile of it.

I thought it might be too small for a long trip but it was perfect!!!

Should I expect it to be as good down the road as the miles and years pile up? I use 0-20 Mobil 1 and it seems to start easier and give me better fuel economy, (35 MPG on highway with AC, while cruising at ~75). Incredible. Had to get my wife to slow down from 85 when I woke up from the short nap! If felt the same as if doing 60. This car could cruise all day long at 100 if I could go that fast. Great car.
 
Congrats on the purchase! These are indeed fun cars to drive.

You shouldn't have any reliability issues. Miatas, over time, have proven that and reward the owner with many miles of top down zoom.
 
Congrats on the purchase. I had a 2006 Sport with six speed manual and loved it, except for the soft top when they came out with the hardtop. I think you'll enjoy your car for many years, if you take good care of it. We traded our Miata in on the Roush; but, I'd like to have another new Miata for a daily driver, later. My little NA is for show purposes.
 
Congrats! I've not once regretted buying my Miata. I'm only looking forward to more miles!
