I think it would mean more on a heavier car than your Miata.

I've tended to find that too- I dont know if its just the setup on my BMW's though...certainly, with some bravery there is vay little (if any) braking required on most roads (alpine passes can be a bit hairy though!)

HAHAHAHA re the Mazda- that's my colleagues car (we carshare to work), and couldnt be much further from an mx-5 (miata).. its a Mazda6 2.2 diesel.
