Hi Patrick and Erik,
She said that she got the impression of a long hood in comparison to hers. For
this reason, it seemed to be a bigger car. She said the handling felt great but
not superior. But then, hers has been suspensionally modified. Generally, she
really likes the new one but also really likes hers. She says she'll keep her
"Series 1", as she calls it for another couple of years and then get a new
Miata.
I'll have to get over there and take a drive myself. I'll report then (not that
I know when that will be).
Rod
