In a world of ever more complex performance cars, the refreshingly pure and elemental Mazda MX-5 Miata RF shows everyone how it's done. It's fun to drive and a little bit easier to live with than the regular Miata. The only downside is price. The standard Miata's budget-friendly Sport trim is not available in the RF, which starts with the midgrade Club level. That, plus the price premium the RF commands, makes it significantly more expensive than the standard Miata.

Power-folding roof does not reduce trunk space

Cons

Costs more than the soft-top Miata
Noisy at highway speeds
Tiny trunk

What's new

No significant changes for 2023
Part of the fourth MX-5 Miata generation introduced for 2016

Overview

Sports cars with retractable hardtops are usually high-dollar luxury models that few can afford, but that's not the case with the 2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF. It's without a doubt on the small side, but its tiny stature and agile handling afford it something most power-hardtop convertibles are missing: pure driving pleasure. While other sports cars provide more power and offer more features, the Miata just wants to put a big smile on your face.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Grand Touring 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl 6M) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.92 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Most are familiar with the regular MX-5 Miata (which is reviewed separately) and its traditional soft top. The Miata RF sports a power-folding hardtop that can quickly come down for fun in the sun or be left up when needed. When the top is up, the RF transforms into a chic fastback-style coupe that provides more insulation from the weather than the soft top does. It weighs a bit more than the soft-top Miata but is just as fun to drive. On the downside, the Miata RF's more complicated power hardtop and lack of the lower-priced Sport trim make it more expensive than the regular Miata.

The 2023 MX-5 Miata RF is a specialized and reasonably priced sports car offering lots of style and almost unparalleled driving dynamics. Its small size, however, doesn't make it a viable option for many people. If you need something a little larger that's still a blast to drive, consider the Toyota GR86. Or if you prefer more muscle, the Ford Mustang convertible might be the better option. There's also the Mini Convertible, another tiny, fun-to-drive drop-top. If you're having a hard time deciding if the Miata RF is right for you, make sure to read our test team's in-depth review in the Edmunds Expert Rating below.

What's it like to live with?

We never had a MX-5 Miata RF as a long-term test vehicle, but we did have not one but two fourth-generation (current-generation) regular Miatas. Besides the type of roof, both versions of the Miata are practically identical. We got our hands on a 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata and drove it over 20,000 miles. Then, when Mazda updated the Miata, we bought a 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata to see whether the upgrades, which include a more powerful engine, made a difference. Check out the links above to find out what we thought of the little roadster's performance, comfort, fuel efficiency and more.

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

9.0/10

How does the MX-5 Miata RF drive? The Miata's featherweight construction and rear-wheel-drive platform mean that you can have a ton of fun without a supremely powerful engine. There's just 181 horsepower on tap, yet our manual transmission-equipped Miata RF test car sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in a respectably quick 6.6 seconds. You'll get the most driver engagement by picking the manual transmission.

The Miata's brakes are another strong point — they are both easy to control and post short stopping distances. Though steering is a little light in effort, the steering wheel is just the right size and offers immediate response. The Miata responds best to smooth and deliberate inputs. It's precise and predictable, and it's easy to catch the rear end if it starts to slide out if you get a bit overzealous. There's noticeable body roll (even with the Club suspension), but the only time that becomes an issue is during fast, aggressive driving.

Comfort

8.0/10

How comfortable is the MX-5 Miata RF? Small two-seat roadsters aren't known for comfort, but the Miata is surprisingly livable in the day-to-day grind. The Club has a firmer ride than other Miata trims because of its Bilstein dampers, but it still has pretty good compliance over rough roads. Only larger potholes will send a shiver through the chassis. The optional Recaro sport seats offer an enviable combination of support, breathability and comfort. But they sit higher than the standard seats, making them a no-go for passengers over 6 feet tall.

The Miata's only significant drawback comfort-wise is the abundant cabin noise, even with the additional sound insulation the RF provides compared to the soft top. Road and wind noise increases significantly with speed. On the highway, you'll have to raise your voice to talk to your passenger.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The cabin's elegant design makes the most of the tidy space and prioritizes the fun of driving. There are minimal controls and those that exist are, perhaps unsurprisingly, easy to reach. The controls are placed cleverly, but their ease of use is primarily due to the Miata's minuscule cabin size.

Drivers around 6 feet tall will push the boundaries of the available head- and legroom, and anyone much taller might not fit at all. But average-size drivers will have no problem finding an agreeable position.

Forward visibility is great, though the rear view is somewhat impacted by the RF's targa-like top. The automatic top is quick to retract and deploy.

Technology

8.0/10

How’s the tech? The MX-5 RF balances driving purity with a driver's desire for modern connectivity and safety tech. Two USB ports are standard, as is Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration. There's also an impressive list of active safety features — blind-spot warning is particularly useful given the RF's visibility-reducing rear buttresses.

The nine-speaker Bose audio system does a good job both filling the cabin with sound and competing with ambient noise. Voice controls are limited and stick to a menu of on-screen prompts, but the system recognizes speech well.

Storage

5.5/10

How’s the storage? No one should expect a two-seat convertible to be a utilitarian machine, so the Miata's lack of carrying capacity shouldn't come as a surprise. The Miata RF's trunk measures just 4.6 cubic feet — the same as the trunk in the regular soft-top Miata. Unlike larger convertibles, there's no back seat to use as a cargo shelf. There's not even a glovebox. Instead, the Miata has a small bin between the seats that serves as the main storage area for things such as smartphones, wallets or small handbags.

There is sufficient room for one child or toddler in a forward-facing seat or booster only. There are no car seat anchors or top-tether attachment points.

Fuel Economy

9.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? EPA-estimated fuel economy for the manual-equipped Miata RF is 29 mpg combined (26 city/34 highway). In our RF test car, we managed 32 mpg on our 115-mile mixed-driving evaluation route. Matching the EPA's numbers in the real world should be pretty doable.

Value

8.5/10

Is the MX-5 Miata RF a good value? The RF costs thousands more than the MX-5 Miata soft top. That's partially because Mazda doesn't offer an entry-level Sport trim on the RF. But even if you compare the RF to a standard Miata at its Club level, the RF commands a premium.

As with the standard MX-5, the RF's cabin materials are quite nice. An abundance of soft plastics and faux leather coverings give the interior an upscale feel. While the price can creep upward in upper trims and with option packages, the Miata is a good value overall.

Mazda's bumper-to-bumper warranty is good for three years/36,000 miles, while the powertrain is covered for five years/60,000 miles. These are average for the segment. Roadside assistance is offered for three years/36,000 miles, which is below average among non-luxury convertibles.

Wildcard

9.5/10

The Miata maintains a thread from roadsters past, with a certain purity missing from more modern, tech-advanced cars. Drivers feel fully engaged as the Miata executes commands with urgency and accuracy. The RF's hardtop and fastback style are modern touches, but the driving enjoyment remains.

Which MX-5 Miata RF does Edmunds recommend?

The Grand Touring trim is the trim we recommend because you have a choice of an automatic or manual transmission. You can't get the Club's available Brembo/BBS Recaro package on the Grand Touring but many don't need those upgrades. Instead, the Grand Touring adds worthwhile features such as leather upholstery and adaptive headlights for safer nighttime driving.

Mazda MX-5 Miata RF models

The 2023 MX-5 Miata RF is a two-door, two-seat sports car available in Club and Grand Touring trim levels. Each is equipped with a power-folding roof that opens in 13 seconds and, when closed, makes the Miata RF look like a hardtop coupe. Both trims are rear-wheel-drive and powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (181 horsepower, 151 lb-ft of torque) backed by a six-speed manual transmission. A six-speed automatic with paddle shifters is optional, but only with the Grand Touring trim. The Club is the more expensive version of the Miata RF because it includes the formerly optional Brembo/BBS Recaro package as standard equipment. Additionally, the Club is now available only as a build-to-order model. Feature highlights for both trims include:

Club
For maximum handling, the Club trim is what you want. It includes:

LED headlights and taillights
Black front lip and rear spoiler
Black side mirrors and power-retractable hardtop
Keyless entry with push-button ignition
Tilt-and-telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel
Leather-wrapped shift knob and parking brake
Cloth upholstery
Heated seats
Nine-speaker Bose audio system
7-inch touchscreen display
Two USB ports
Wireless Apple CarPlay
Wired Android Auto
Satellite radio

To enhance performance, all MX-5 Miata RF models with a manual transmission have:

Shock tower brace (stiffens the body structure to help with handling precision)
Limited-slip differential (enhances traction during acceleration)
Sport-tuned suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers

The Club trim also includes the Brembo/BBS Recaro package:

17-inch gray BBS forged wheels with high-performance tires
Brembo front brakes with red front and rear calipers
Aerodynamic body kit
Black Recaro heated sport seats

Standard advanced driver aids include:

Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)

Grand Touring
This version of the Miata RF does not have the front lip and rear spoiler or the Brembo/BBS Recaro package. Otherwise, it expands upon the Club with:

17-inch dark silver wheels with high-performance tires
Body-color side mirrors and power-retractable hardtop
Automatic headlights and wipers
Adaptive headlights (headlights swivel to illuminate the road in turns)
Automatic high-beam assist
Heated side mirrors with auto-dimming glass on the driver's side
Auto-dimming rearview mirror
Automatic climate control
Leather seats
Navigation system
Road sign assist (detects certain road signs and displays them on the instrument panel)

Grand Touring 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

I own a 2019 MX-5 RF. I never considered a soft top to be practical enough for my daily driver. The MX-5 isn’t really that practical (like a Mazda3 hatch), but it is practical enough - it is weather tight and holds my gear. The new 181 hp engine with 7500 rpm redline also provides broader horsepower and torque bands – and a wailing good time! There is a reason that Porsche sells … Boxters and Caymans. They have shown there is a market for a soft and hard top version of basically the same car. Porsche has also shown there is a market for both automatic and manual transmissions in sports cars. It increases the overall sales volume and amortizes the cost of development over more units. This makes a 2 seat vehicle (that appeals to a small fraction of buyers) a more commercially viable proposition. Mazda is trying to do the same thing, at less than half the price. And unlike the more insulated / isolated Boxter and Cayman the MX-5 can be wrung-out at less than lethal speeds. My 2019 Mazda MX-5 Grand Touring Retractable Fastback has a 6 speed automatic. It stays in automatic when traffic is stop and go. But 99% of the time I drive it in the manual shift gate for more control on curves and grades. I prefer slap-shifting the stick, but the paddles are just as fast. Stomp the gas pedal and it instantly kicks down 2 gears to pass. You can bounce it off the 7500 rpm rev-limiter and it will not shift up. It will shift down automatically – but only as the car rolls to a stop. Every up-shift is a speed shift because you never take your foot off the gas. No power pause between gears. It looks great with the top up or down. So much control and feedback to all your senses. Bashing about on mountain 2 lane it makes you feel like you are going fast even at 45 mph. With the top down, you hear the engine, smell the forest, feel the air rush over the car body, feel the road condition through the steering wheel, the suspension and the brakes. All responses are instantaneous, precise and linear – whether turning the steering wheel, pressing the gas pedal, down shifting or applying the brakes. The steering is very precise, with immediate turn-in. You can place the car exactly where you want it with no steering correction. Good torque as low as 2500 rpm with great torque from about 3500 to 7000 rpm. And it sounds strong and smooth all the way to redline. In the RF, with the top down and windows up with temperatures in the low 40s you’ll be nice and warm without a jacket or sweater. EPA says the automatic is more gas-frugal than the manual. Professional reviewers report that 0-60 mph is only about 0.2 seconds slower than the manual – around 6.0 to 6.5 seconds depending on how much you are abusing the engine and transmission. Head into a posted 30 mph bend at 45, down shift into 2nd gear and start applying gas as you reach the apex. No brakes, just exhaust note as the auto-box does a rev matching down shift, then momentum into apex and 3 seconds of 2nd gear acceleration before entering the next bend. You’ll be grinning, with no hooligan stunts required – just fast (almost legal) snaking through the S-bends. You’re going 30-60 mph but it feels faster and way-more-fun than a heavier more powerful car. At 70 mph in 6th gear with the top up the engine and tire noise are not intrusive. You can have a conversation in fairly normal tones. The head rest speakers and speed sensitive volume adjustment work quite well to deliver good sound. As a daily driver, your size matters. At 5’-10” / 165 lbs. I am 3 notches from maximum seat travel and find the seats very comfortable and supportive – no sliding around, even without huge side bolsters. I have plenty of room for my U.S. size 9.5 feet and my knees don't touch the steering wheel, center console or door. However, at 6’-2” or 200+ lbs. you might have issues. Cockpit storage is small and not very convenient. The (extra cost) Mazda cargo net is about $40 on the web and a Rubber Maid bin from the hardware store is around $20. Both will add flexibility when finding a home for your stuff – and when quickly emptying the trunk so you can go to the supermarket for 3 bags of groceries. The new telescoping steering wheel will help you find a good seat position. The 4.5 cubic ft. trunk is small, but deep and well-shaped. However, the opening is fairly small. Definitely take your “gear” to the dealership and give the trunk and the cockpit cubbies a fit-test when you go for a test drive. There is no jack and no spare tire – just a compressor that runs off the car battery and injects magic goo into the tire. If you use the compressor and goo I believe you may be buying at least one new tire, and possibly a set of 4 (if the surviving 3 are visibly worn). This wake-up call from my long-time Michelin tire store. So keep your mobile phone charged and use the free 3 year Mazda roadside assistance to have the car hauled to the tire store so the flat can be patched!

5/5 stars, Perfect sports car!

Grand Touring 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

Went from a 2011 camaro to a 2020 RF GT in eternal blue mica. Best purchase I’ve ever made! Absolutely a blast to drive, feels as fast as the camaro I traded in. I’m 6’1 and fit in easily with an inch or 2 of head room to spare. Cons: Interior is okay (Apple CarPlay/android auto is what saves the infotainment) wind noise isn’t the greatest at highway speeds but it’s not too loud, truck …

Grand Touring 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

My first car I've ever bought was a 2008 Mazda 3 sport, then I got a 2015 then a 2017 Mazda 3 GT. I love Mazda, clearly, but I've never been in love with a car before. I was a little stressed about the price point, being that it is costing me 10K+ with interest than the 3 has been costing me, but after driving my MX-5 RF GT for the last 5 days, I'm not looking back. Some things I did …

5/5 stars, Fast, Fun, Fun, Fun!!

Grand Touring 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

This is a super fun Mazda to drive! I had a 2010 Corvette but this is much more fun to drive! I love the power targa top, much better than having a convertible if you are concerned with too much wind blowing your hair into a tangled mess. This is like a large sunroof. Just enough for me. This is my every daily driver although I don’t drive much. Worst part of the car is the Cup …

Mazda MX-5 Miata RF vs. Toyota GR86

The GR86 (and very similar Subaru BRZ) is another sports car built purely for the thrill of driving. Like the Miata RF, its straight-line speed might not impress you, but the way it handles a corner at full tilt will put a big smile on your face. The GR86, though, is a coupe that can't drop its top. If that's not a deal-breaker, then this fun-to-drive Toyota with its lower price tag, larger trunk and small rear seats is a great alternative to the Miata RF. It doesn't offer Brembo brakes or a Bilstein suspension, but once you drive it, it likely won't matter.

Mazda MX-5 Miata RF vs. Ford Mustang

The Mustang is a big and powerful brute when compared to the Miata RF, but like the little Mazda, you can have open-top fun with the convertible model and it's very entertaining to drive. The Mustang's larger size provides more passenger and cargo room, and the Ford also has a lower starting price. It also offers an optional V8 engine for a significant price increase. The Mustang isn't as agile or precise as the Miata RF, but optional Performance and Handling packages will definitely increase its fun factor.

Mazda MX-5 Miata RF vs. Volkswagen Golf GTI

The Golf GTI's hatchback body style and front-wheel-drive powertrain are nothing like the two-door, rear-wheel-drive Miata RF, but both sports cars have one thing in common: thrilling driving dynamics. Its potent engine and sharp handling deliver impressive amounts of fun behind the wheel. The Volkswagen also provides plenty of room for passengers and can swallow lots of cargo. Even better, the GTI is more affordable than the Miata RF. It blends in with the crowd more, but the GTI is a very well-rounded sports car.
