Hi all,

I kinda asked about this previously, but it would be nice to hear some
comments now that I've actually been looking to buy the Miata. All the
dealers I've visited have mentioned "about 2 weeks, or so" for the
arrival of the 94's. They'd happily sell me a 93 though.

I currently don't have any car, which means I'm renting one. Two extra
weeks of wait would mean a good bit of money extra I'd have to spend
on the rental car. This, combined with the fact that they'd probably
be willing to give better deals on the leftover 93's than on a hotly
arrived 94, makes me calculate that the 94 would probably end up
costing me $2K-$2.5K more than the 93.

While I though I wanted a 94, I begin to doubt if it's worth that much
more? The extra hp would be great, but of course it's heavier. And
while it's supposed to be more rigid, some mag (C&D?) mentioned it
felt less so to them.

While I'm still deciding which way I should go, it would be nice to
hear some outside opinions; what would you do?

Thanks!
