I have owned 4 soft top MX-5s (1993, 2011, 2019, 2019) . My first 2019 was lost in a garage fire. The 2019 is by far the best one I have owned. I love the creature comforts. It is like your favorite pair of jeans, hard to get in, hard to get out, but you feel so cool in between.

Surprised how many haters went out of their way to take shots at a car that is clearly not for them...why? Must be they equate their "manhood" with the car they drive. Like Barbie's pink Vette? We have had A LOT of cars. and Mazda's have been consistently among the best, but that's just IMO. Can tell you that the Miatas have lasted longer, been as much fun, and kept value better than a whole lot of cars including: MBZ, Bentley, Alfa, Corvette, Ferrari or any British car. I love all of these cars for different reasons. Lighten the f*ck up!

owned a '92 for seven years, stripped; no air, no limited slip, no stereo, steel wheels and the most fun I've had owning a car. My only complaint with this example, not a true convertible. You end up with an automatic targa style roof...I own a '14 Vette Conv 7MT Z51 and it feels like a large Miata and that's the best compliment I can pay it....

I’m a middle age guy with a 2020 RF GT. Mazda wouldn’t sell enough cars to justify making them if they didn’t include modern conveniences. It’s also nice getting an LSD and Bilstein shocks, 181 HP and only a bit over 2400 lbs. The modern conveniences in no way distract from my driving experience. The “electronic gadgets” can be ignored or left off. This is still a very driver focused car. I’ve never had more fun in a vehicle. I respect the entire MX-5 lineage and Mazda for its continued commitment to the model.

I already own a 2023 CX-5 in Soul Red Crystal Metallic so a different color seemed fine with me. Now to see how someone in their seventh decade of life does behind the wheel long term. It has been a very long time since I have anticipated something as much as this new automobile. Thanks for the review too, even though it is a Club.

this was world car of the year in 2016 for a reason, being a real soft top convertible. The lines with RF totally chopped the sleek flow with bringing the fastback hard line too far back to an already short rear end. It looks like the Buick Opel of the past, or an 80’s Corvette targa top. Add to or take away from its original lines to attract the new buyers that needed more enclosed protection from the elements, and you forgot what was perfect about how sleek and special this car looks as a true convertible. Its marketing and more sales for Mazda. Doesn’t make it even close in looks to the soft top. I own the 2016 soul red soft top, this car with silver wheels and that red, stretch out the lines giving it a longer look. A dark color on the miata with dark wheels only hides the long carved shape and design. That soul red is really the only color that shows off the body shape. In the evening light, it takes on almost 3 shades of color, like a jeweled garnet stone. You cant expect the wrong dull color, dark wheels and a hard top to give you much beauty. I actually dont know why you would want to buy a white version, black version, or that primer gray color with dark wheels. Sometimes I think less than half the world has no concept of a special shape and design, no artistic understanding.

So no my choice is : Did i buy a Soul red ND from before 2018 with the 2.0 160HP and not adjustable steering wheel (up and down only, i'm 6.16 feet tall) or did i keep saving money for the new one with 2.0 184hp with fully adjustable steering wheel position..

The RF styling made me replace my MX-5 2000 SE with a new MX-5 ND RF. Much better looking and better driving. About the same regarding ingress and egress. The 2 liter engine is better and the new six speed is even better than the old reliable Aisen six speed box.

Been a proud owner of a decked out Mazda 3 GTM hatch, lowered SUSPENSION and whatnot. Lately I've had my eye on a MX-5 RF, but have been resistant in making any decisions on a purchase. You filmed this video on my birthday (28 of June) - IT'S A SIGN! If it happens, I'd get the exact same model, lowered suspension and, however, a different color. I loved the Soul Red, but Mazda changed it slightly, enough to the point that I don't like it. My Mazda 3 is Soul Red - beautiful color. Had many, many compliments on the car/color/wheels.

RF tops have been really noisy since they came out. People complain about the wind noise These cars beg to have the top down, so don't bother with RF. Miata had a problem with thin paint, especially the red ones, Bing it, so hopefully they have fixed that. Could be due to water based paints they (all) use.

In this same configuration/package as your tester. (2) Would you advise getting the auto instead of the manual for daily driving over winters? (Auto ones don't have a LSD, whereas manual one do. Don't know if the LSD will be helpful in winter driving). (3) How did you find the ride qualiy in terms of the suspension for daily driving with the Bilstein shocks? Thanks will apprecite your reply

We have a 2019. Seats are heated but not cooled. No ACC or HUD. I wish the 2.4 was turbocharged but, since the car weighs about 12 1/2 pounds, it's not that big a deal. Don't miss the HUD as it's surprisingly easy to see out of but the ACC would be nice. Backup camera is the worst I've ever seen.

southern tommygun. I was driving my neighbor’s new MX-5 a few days ago; I was very impressed. That said, my wife’s new Mazda 3 has some features I was surprised the MX-5 doesn’t have, not because they’re necessary, but, since they’re bundled in the 3 . . . why not? Mazda’s all wheel drive system is excellent and it will be necessary on the MX if the turbo option is available on the MX. All in all, Mazda continues to impress, personally I’m looking forward to what they do with their electric vehicles. If any manufacturer can make an electric motor have character, it’s likely Mazda . . .

I remember that, too. The Miata and Nissan 300ZX were making news at the same time - I had the Road & Track with them on the cover. Saw my first Miata at Summit Point race track (not racing). I have to say, I have mixed feelings about the styling now. Reminds me of Opal GT but I know it's a fantastic car. Decisions, decisions, LOL.

Could you share the exact trim of this particular one that you drove? Is it a club, because I believe in the United States you cannot get the red interior on club models.

Thanks for the review. I picked mine up today in UK. Same spec in Machine Grey without Brembos and I'm disappointed. Drove the 1.5 litre and it was great, smooth and comfortable but slow so I ordered the 2.0 litre. It immediately felt very different, with a lot of vibration at all speeds and harshness to the ride. Does this sound right to you or is there a problem with my car? None of the reviews I've seen mention it.

I daily drove mine in upstate NY. Rain, snow, or shine. Being in the army means you gotta carry a lot of crap with you, so the trunk space isn't great if you're constantly carrying two+ bags on you. I could still comfortably fit my assault pack (backpack basically) stuffed to the brim, my toolset, jack stands, and extra coolant and oil, with room to spare in the trunk. I'd get an RF if you plan to daily one simply because it's nicer in the cold months and better on road noise. These are stupid simple cars on maintenance too if you buy a 2019+ ND2. the previous years have transmission trouble from what the forums say, and the second gens seemed to have solved it.
