Some models have different tire/wheel sizes. Takes some research to sort out exactly what an individual wants.
I've done a fair amount of research. The setup in the 86 GT is fine for me, the Hakone just happened to be the one the dealer had for the test drive. No need for Brembos & performance suspension. Since this will be a 12 month car here in the NE I will opt for AS instead of summer tires since I have no room to store a 2nd set of wheels/tires.

We're similarly sized. I never said the fit wasn't good, only that I need more seat time other than a test drive before I find the perfect driving position for me. I'm a bit OCD.

I love Mazdas and there are 5 in the family, 4 of them are CX-5's('13, '14, 2 x '19's)If I wanted another I might consider the CX-30 but the CX-5 is a much better value. But I want to get back into a sport coupe.


Thanks for all your input, Steve
