Why Buy? | 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Review

Motor1 Senior Editor Jake Holmes takes Mazda’s handsome MX-5 Miata RF for a spin to see if the new roof diminishes the fun factor of the back-to-basics roadster. For more Mazda MX-5 Miata: https://www.motor1.com/mazda/mx-5-miata/ As-tested price: $35,790 The Power Retractable Hard Top (PRHT) variant of the outgoing Mazda MX-5 Miata was extremely popular with buyers, so it was little surprise when Mazda reintroduced a power hardtop for the fourth-generation car. Called RF, for Retractable Fastback, it gives the Miata a decidedly handsome look thanks to big, flowing buttresses and a targa-top look. As ever, a powered hardtop offers advantages in terms of sound deadening and weather protection compared to a traditional fabric roof. But the Miata RF is also more expensive and heavier than the standard car, two characteristics that could turn off purist shoppers. Still, beneath the roof you get all the same Miata parts we know and love: rev-happy 2.0-liter engine, snick-snick manual gearbox, delightful rear-wheel-drive chassis, and snug two-seat cabin. The RF is offered in both a more luxurious Grand Touring trim and a sportier Club spec. We grabbed the latter version for a quick summer blast with the roof both up and down. How does the Retractable Fastback version compare to the regular Miata? Find out as we subject the car to our rigorous Why Buy? testing regimen.
