It doesn’t sound normal. Is your '06 car is on it’s original running gear ?
If so it may be worn out depending on what miles it’s covered in all that time.
Bushes worn, suspension elements worn, shock absorbers and springs…
Is this something that you’ve just started to notice ?
About 55k miles I drove just a few hundred. I bought it before the winter seems better. Today was about 5c out there on summer tyre Hankook might be that’s the reason?
The tyres are 4 X hankook summer tyres newly fitted before winter.
Strange I didn’t have this feeling until lately though I didn’t drive it often anyway. I will have to wait till a hotter day to test it again though I don’t think that matters that much.
Have you checked the tyre pressures yet? It is simple and free and would eliminate a possible cause. MX5s are more sensitive to tyre pressures than some other cars and garages have been known to put far too much in.
You need to put the correct tyre pressure in no matter what the outside temperature is.
As the outside temperature goes up you may have to let some air out and conversely on colder days put some in.
Another thumbs up for tyre pressures.
I’ve found my NC to be very fussy about pressures.
White lining, wandering around, etc.
The PS4’s were very fussy, the Yokohamas seem a little less so.
Cheap and easy fix…

So what’s the general consensus? Do you keep pressures as advised in the manual or do you take a few psi out of the front?
I tend to go 27 front 29 rear. It just feels better
I stick to the recommendations from Mazda for the NC at 29psi. I’m of the mind that putting more in the rears will promote oversteer in the car which as it’s already RWD, I’ll try and keep the handling more neutral.
