Kenneth S. says... > The Miata IS low to the ground, I paid extra attention to one I saw today - it is very low. I don't feel comfortable in them, same as when I was in a friend's MG. >It has -- to me -- a very agreeable retro feel to it. It >reminds me of the MGs, Austin-Healeys, and Jaguars that I couldn't >afford when I was a teenager and in my early twenties. Like the PT Cruiser. > > In a way, the Miata is responsible for buying the Saab. After I got >the Miata three years ago, I got addicted to its maneuverability, and I >found that even a small four-cylinder engine could deliver good >quantities of air conditioning. Heh-heh....I know about the a/c and already replaced the compresser in the Saab. >So about six months ago I traded in my >Mercury Grand Marquis, which at that time was my "sensible" car. That is what my father had, he went to an Avalon, just about the same as a Lexus and it did not impress me much. >I still use the Miata more than the Saab. What is the difference in handling? I mean, is it so much better being that lower to the ground and smaller. My Saab just hugs the road so well, I love that. >My daughter borrows the Saab >without complaining that it is a big boat, >which she used to say about the Mercury. A big boat?! My first vehicle (not counting tractors and the truck) was a 1973 Buick LeSabre. Talk about a boat! The Grand Marquis is _moderate_ compared to that thing. ~J~
