      I don't like susceptibility to cupping in the road and the lack of presence on the highway. But that's part of package of a small aggressive roadster.

        I don't like that it didn't come with an all aluminum V8 from the factory.

            the lack of options from the factory unlike our counter parts in Japan or even in Europe.

            The place meet of the factory cup holder on the NA. Straight up pointless if you have a 5-spd.

            Lack of a turbo charger or rotory from the factory, well in the early models.(not encluding the BBK cause that just rare on its own)

            My biggest issue with my own miata was finding out that all BRG come with hardtops from the factory and learning that the old owner sold the top before I got the car.

                ^ I guess I either can't drive for **** or my car just sticks like glue. I can barely get sideways to save my life. Not on dry pavement anyway.

                  Mine breaks loose on azenis, whne you power out of a corner hard. well it doesnt break loose like a mustang or something, but it goes into a controllable power slide. Its enough to point the nose in the direction you need to go.

                    Sean, you dummy, you supposed to say what you DON'T like about your NA. :lol:

                    I don't like the fact that mine is not running, but I don't know if that counts.
                    However, in all seriousness, I agree with Bryan's statement about the cupholders, but usually I have a bottled drink, which I rest in between my leg and the console. But that's really my only complaint, otherwise I love the car. My girlfriend will complain that it rides too rough, but to me, the NBs are far too refined and don't provide as much feedback to the driver.

                      If I had to pick something I didn't like about my NA, it was the factory front bumper. I think they could have done something a little more aggressive. I also think they could have made the cars a bit lighter. Oh and forged aluminum control arms like the RX-7. I thought the interior styling on the 94-97 was good and didn't really need anything.

                        ^ Agreed. They should have had something like the Racing Beat bumper as OEM. Those bumpers are hella gorgeous. Been considering what one would look like on my car either with my flares or larger flares.

                          I got rather pissy with a frozen slider pin on a rear caliper this weekend.

                          I wish the driver's seat would go back about 2 more inches.An additional 50-60 HP and an overdrive gear would be nice too.

                            Yea an overdrive would be great or even if they had just used the 5th gear from the FC RX7 as the miata cause it is a much better match for highway speeds and still useable with the tiny 1.6 and 4:30 rear end.

                              What I don't like about my NA right now is that it isn't even close to track ready and I just don't have the funds right now to make it so. All in due time though.
