Wonderful driving experience!

The center console/cupholder
2006 Mazda Miata Review:
I traded in my 1999 Miata for a 2006 and really like it so far. That acceleration is fun, and the 2006 grips the road a lot better than my 1999 Miata.
However, I hate how they wasted precious storage space with a useless center console. They could have made a nice little storage space like the 1999 has with a change spot, sunglasses holder and everything. Why on Earth do I need 2 more cupholders when I have them in the doors?
And I would have thought they could've made a little storage in the doors, too, instead of wasting that space.
I love the three bins behind & between the seats, and the glove compartment is roomy.
Why did they get rid of the nifty electric door locks of the 1999 breed? When I locked my driver's side door, the other side also locked. I didn't need a separate "power lock" button. You'd think the engineers would keep all the good stuff when they make changes......

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mazda Miata?
Cockpit is roomy and comfortable, and sight lines are clear. No blind spots.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mazda Miata?
Cup holder in door is too low - it hits the driver's leg. A movable sun visor would be better when sun is shining from the side.
2006 Mazda Miata Review:
The Miata is the most fun to drive. It feels like the car is part of your body!
