It confuses me that people can say that the MX-5 is underpowered for basic road use. I drive a 2015 Mazda 2 which has the same overall weight but a much less powerful engine. That thing zips around everything very quickly and can pass cars on a highway with no effort. Either way, by the end of the year I'll have my own 2024 MX-5 RF to compare. I doubt its power will disappoint me considering I'm upgrading from a Mazda 2.

Driven both quite a bit. I prefer the RF with the top up, and the soft top with the top down. The RF is more refined and quiet and looks better w/ its top up, the soft top gives you a better view, more open feel, buffets less, and looks better w/ the top down. Considering it's a Miata which is largely defined by being a convertible, I favor the soft top.

You can actually update the navigation system at Mazda service center to get the turn by turn directions projected to heads up display. I made them install Android Auto and Apple Car play on my car and when they installed it, they updated the other software too I believe which gave me that Mazda 6 like turn by turn navigation to heads up display. It costed me $550 in 2022 to install Android Auto and Apple Carplay. But I never regret the decision as it improved my navigation and overall infotainment in the car.

David, your final comment pretty much nailed it. I've been actively planning my purchase for a couple of years, have been back and forth on the RF vs. ST question so many times I've lost count. Countdown is down to about 2 1/2 months and I really think it is going to come down to a coin toss, or alternatively, which rig on the dealers lot garners the strongest reaction. Have lusted after a true open roadster for--literally--decades, yet... Had a Fiat X1/9 many, many many moons ago. Loved that car. All 69HP worth. About the same time a buddy of mine acquired an MGB and had me drive it as he didn't know how to shift for himself--yet. I've been chasing that high ever since. So... Maybe soft top? I think. Or not... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@DavidBournePhotoandVideo ...And the heart wound up with a white GT MT '24 softtop. I think I can safely say after 10 days that I absolutely made the right call. I wondered if after all these years of planning, building it up in my mind, that there would be no way it could possibly live up to my expectations. Nope. Didn't live up to them. It exceeded them. By a wide margin. Power? Ample. Infotainment (a real concern given the limitations of the packaging and physics)? Not knock your socks off, but the Bose system is entirely adequate even with the top down at speed. And the control interface definitely grew on me. Better to use when actually driving than the system in my wife's Camry, once I learned my way around. The rest? Ride? Handling? Braking? That sweet, sweet shifter and transmission? Whan an incredible piece of engineering. Hats off to Mazda. That they could do it at this price is even more incredible. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go drive...somewhere. Anywhere...

Just bought a manual RF in Ceramic Pearl. I like the looks of the RF whether the roof is open or closed; to me it looks like a Lotus Elise. But the soft top looks great too. I have bursitis in my left shoulder, so I had concerns that trying to operate that heavy soft top with my left arm would just aggravate it (I'm in Oz too, so RHD). Very happy with my RF, only done 15000kms so it's basically like a new car. And that manual shift is one of the best I've ever experienced
