In with the NEW!

From our prior Mazda Miata experience, my wife wanted to update her daily driver to something a bit newer and a hardtop - so we shopped, and shopped, and SHOPPED around!  The Power Retractable Hard Top (PRHT) cars move REALLY fast - we'd see one listed and it would sell in 3 days or less...

We finally found a 2011 Mazda MX-5 Sparkling Black Mica PRHT 6-speed Special Edition.  

Limited to just 750 units, the Special Edition begins life as a loaded, retractable-hardtop Grand Touring model with Premium package. That means the SE has Bluetooth, satellite radio, xenon headlights, keyless entry and start, and electronic stability control. Also standard is the Suspension pack, which nabs Bilstein shocks, a limited-slip differential, and sportier suspension geometry.

To make the Special Edition, Mazda stretches gray-stitched black leather over the steering wheel and parking-brake handle, and then installs gray leather seats, gray door trim, and chrome around the air vents and instrument cluster. The exterior can be sprayed one of two unique colors, Sparkling Black Mica or Dolphin Gray Mica.

They gray interior was a big bonus for us, since the gray leather won't get as blazing hot as black leather will get in the summertime.  And the heated seats are a very nice addition - she loves driving to work in the morning - top down, and seat heaters on!  :D
