i recently bought a 06 mx5 miata, and the salesman told me that i had to let the engine idle for a while before shutting it off, like you should do with a turbo. i think he is full of crap. does anyone know why i would have to do this?

Is it a Mazdaspeed Miata?

Is it a Mazdaspeed Miata? I thought MS Miata was discontinued in 05? But no, you don't necessarily have to let the car cool down before you shut it off. Only time I do that, is if I am driving for a long distance. |
Car salesmen are always full of ****. I wouldn't worry about it.

Car salesmen are always full of ****. I wouldn't worry about it. Some of them are actually quite brilliant. That's only about 1% of them though. The other 99% are ******* idiots. I use to be one, I should know. I think I fell into the idiot category. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif |
Eh, regardless of the car I'm in, I let it idle for a few minutes while I do things like check my hair, put away my sunglasses, put my CD case away, make sure I have my wallet zippered in my pocket, that I didn't miss any calls and put the sunshade up. -shrug- It's a habit of mine, but not really necessary on a Miata....
