The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata is "fun to drive" defined. It still accomplishes the same goal as the first Miata from 35 years ago: Put a huge smile on the face of its driver with nimble handling, a sweet-shifting gearbox, and wind in your hair. Admittedly, the Miata RF gets you less wind than a regular Miata, but you also get a quieter experience and greater security with the top up.Read full review

Pros
- Sublime steering and handling
- Quieter and more secure with the roof up than standard Miata
- Power-folding roof does not reduce trunk space
- Has enough modern tech features without going overboard
Cons
- Costs more than the soft-top Miata
- Noise and buffeting with the roof off
- Tiny trunk
- Poor over-the-shoulder visibility
What's new
- Carries over unchanged for 2025
- Part of the fourth MX-5 Miata generation introduced for 2016
Overview
In baseball, "RF" indicates the dude standing out in right field. To the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF, it indicates a unique hardtop design with a power-retractable middle bit that replaces the standard Miata's sling-it-over-your-shoulder soft top. It adds some security and a distinctive look without diminishing the Miata's nimble handling or adding a whole lot of weight.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2025 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 N/A undefined in Virginia.

Edmunds spotlight: All about the roof
Unlike the fully retractable hardtop that the previous-generation Miata offered, the RF's roof design keeps a roll bar-like portion in place at all times. Lowering the roof is a neat process to watch: The roll bar-like portion temporarily lifts up and back as the roof portion folds up and gets stored below. The Miata RF's rear window also disappears along with the roof bits. It provides an airier experience, but the remaining roll bar portion still causes quite a bit of wind noise and buffeting that you don't get with the Miata's fully retractable soft top.
Competitors to consider
There's nothing like the Miata. Literally. The handful of competitors it's had through four generations have all come and gone. The BMW Z4 and Porsche 718 Boxster are really the only other roadsters on the market, but they're twice as expensive or more. The Mini Convertible is closer in price but totally different in concept. That leaves the Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ twins as the closest to the Miata RF in terms of being light rear-wheel-drive performance coupes with affordable price tags. You can't take off their roofs, but the RF's quasi-hardtop design at least brings it closer to the Toyabaru twins than the standard Miata.

Rated for you by America's best test team.Performance
9/10
How does the MX-5 Miata RF drive? The Miata's performance story isn't told by its modest power (181 hp) or 0-60 mph acceleration (6.4 seconds). Instead, it's the less quantifiable attributes that come alive when you're driving up a great canyon road or playing around at your local track day. The Miata's drivetrain is happiest revving its little heart out but is more than willing to trundle along in traffic without protest. It's such an easy car to drive.
Incredibly communicative, quick-to-react steering is a Miata hallmark. Around our skidpad, we measured 0.93 g of lateral grip. Other sports cars are grippier but the beauty of the Miata is how easy it is to drive it with precision or abandon depending on your mood. The brakes offer plenty of stopping power and also work well for smooth stops in city traffic. And if there's a better-shifting manual transmission on the market, we'd love to know.

Comfort
7/10
How comfortable is the MX-5 Miata RF? The Grand Touring trim is better suited for daily driving than the Club trim because it doesn't come standard with the stiffer-riding Bilstein dampers. Even so, no Miata is what we'd call harsh or unpleasant. The Club also gets Recaro seats that have additional side bolstering to hold you in place while cornering. They're comfortable, but the stock seats are pretty good too.
The main reason you'd get a Miata RF is for its folding hardtop. Indeed, the RF proved to be quieter than an equivalent soft-top Miata, both with the roof up and roof down, in our testing. Still, this is a noisy car to drive on the highway.

Interior
7/10
How’s the interior? The Miata's cabin is simple and straightforward: What you see is what you get. The controls are easy to access, and everything's within arm's reach, even if it means having to contort to open that makeshift glovebox between the seats.
Drivers over 6 feet tall may actually find sufficient head- and legroom; it's just that there won't be any space left around them. Getting into a Miata can feel like putting on a tight pair of pants. Also, the passenger footwell is shorter than the driver's and taller co-pilots won't be able to fully extend their legs regardless of how far back they push the seats. The lack of space is this interior's only real downfall, though not a particularly surprising one.
There is another downside specific to the RF. The power-folding hardtop creates major blind spots behind the cabin, and the way it filters air in and around the passenger compartment creates unnecessary wind buffeting. The RF seems like a way to appease buyers who want a Miata but would prefer a coupe. At that point, maybe it's time to look at something like a Subaru BRZ or Toyota GR86 instead.

Technology
8.5/10
How’s the tech? The 8.8-inch touchscreen works well, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect wirelessly should you want to synch up your phone. You can also control CarPlay and Android Auto by touching the screen, which is a nice upgrade compared to previous model-year Miatas.
A decent number of driver assistance features come standard on the Miata. Adaptive cruise control, however, comes on the Grand Touring only. The blind-spot warning system definitely comes in handy because of the RF's big blind spots.

Storage
5.5/10
How’s the storage? If you're planning to carry a lot of cargo on a regular basis, you're likely better off looking elsewhere. The Miata's 4.6 cubic feet of trunk space is super small. It's barely large enough to hold a small carry-on suitcase and backpack at the same time. The interior is equally compact; there are only a few storage spaces for small items.
Going for the RF over a soft-top Miata won't give you extra cargo space, either. Both trunk and interior storage volumes are the same regardless of roof type.

Fuel Economy
9.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? For as fun and rambunctious as this little thing is, it's still quite economical. With the manual, the EPA estimates it will get 29 mpg in combined city/highway driving. That's quite a bit better than what a manual-equipped Subaru BRZ gets (22 mpg combined). We also found the EPA's estimate achievable in real-world driving.
Value
7.5/10
Is the MX-5 Miata RF a good value? Mazda seems to be working more and more premium features into the Miata with each small update. The tech gets better, the leather gets nicer, and more soft-touch materials make their way into the cabin. It's a premium look but we'd hope so considering the RF's lofty pricing. It's a lot more than a BRZ and similar to what you'd pay to get a bigger and more powerful Ford Mustang convertible.
Warranty coverage is nothing special. Mazda offers bumper-to-bumper coverage of three years/36,000 miles and powertrain coverage of five years/60,000 miles. Roadside assistance is available for three years/36,000 miles.

Wildcard
9/10
The Miata is an incredibly straightforward car yet one whose goodness is hard to define. This car doesn't win you over because of its practicality, value or blistering performance. It's the way you feel when you drop the top and hit the road. It's the way this car just makes you smile all of the time. The Mazda MX-5 Miata is "fun to drive" defined.
Which MX-5 Miata RF does Edmunds recommend?
Whether you get the Club or Grand Touring, you're bound to have lots of fun behind the wheel of the Miata RF ... even if you select the automatic. That said, please don't. If you were ever going to learn (or just enjoy) driving a manual, this is the car to do it in. It also brings with it several key performance upgrades. As such, we would recommend the Grand Touring to more buyers. It costs less than the Club, and we think more people would more frequently appreciate its extra comfort features over the Club's lighter wheels, Brembo brakes and Recaro sport seats.

Mazda MX-5 Miata RF models
The 2025 Mazda Miata RF is the hardtop convertible version of the standard soft-top Miata we review separately. It has two doors, two seats and a very small trunk. It comes in two versions: Club and Grand Touring. Both come with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual is standard on both, but only the Grand Touring can be fitted with a six-speed automatic. As we note below, there are several mechanical features that disappear when you opt for the automatic.
Club
The Miata RF is an unusual car in that the more expensive trim level actually has less equipment. As such, we'll start off our feature breakdown with the Club. Ultimately, what differentiates it is the presence of the following:
- 17-inch BBS forged alloy wheels
- Brembo front brakes with red calipers front and rear
- Aerodynamic body kit including a rear spoiler
- Recaro sport seats with cloth upholstery and synthetic suede inserts
Beyond that, the Club shares these features with the Grand Touring:
- LED headlights
- Proximity entry and push-button start
- Manual height-adjustable driver's seat
- Heated seats
- Leather-wrapped steering wheel
- 8.8-inch infotainment display with center console controller
- Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
- Nine-speaker Bose sound system with headrest speakers
A few driver assistance features come standard:
- 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)
Finally, the Club also shares the following with the manual-equipped Grand Touring:
- Sport-tuned suspension with Bilstein dampers
- Front shock tower brace
- Limited-slip differential (helps maximize available traction during hard acceleration)
- A Track mode for the stability control system
- Engine sound enhancer
Grand Touring
Beyond the features listed above that are shared between the two trim levels, the Grand Touring also includes:
- Different, non-forged 17-inch wheels
- Automatic and adaptive headlights
- Auto-dimming driver's side and rearview mirrors
- Automatic wipers
- Automatic climate control
- Leather upholstery
- Navigation system
When equipped with the optional automatic transmission, the Grand Touring adds:
- Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
- Remote engine start
However, the automatic-equipped Grand Touring does not have these features:
- Sport-tuned suspension with Bilstein dampers
- Front shock tower brace
- Limited-slip differential
- A Track mode for the stability control system
- Engine sound enhancer

2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF 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!

2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF 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 … holders. Just remove them if you have a passenger, just in your way. Best part of the Miata RF , driving ! It’s a blast if you like that race car feeling without having to park it way out in fear of door dings. It’s small enough that you have plenty of room on each side of the car to park it anywhere. Luv it!
I'm in love

2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF 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 … have to sacrifice that the 3 offered was my heated steering wheel, door panel storage space, large glove compartment, better accessible cup holders (the MX-5 has really annoying cup holders and locations), large trunk, power seats, dual control AC/Heat, radar cruise control, and front seat space. I'm not tremendously tall (5'4") but I feel like I'm coming out of a deep lunge when I get out of the car. Aside from losing my Mazda3 GT features (I was actually quite concerned about it), I've realized it's not that bad. To me, the sacrifices are worth it. The MX-5 is TINY. It fits in a lot of places. I like to back into my parking space at home and it's hard when the neighbors illegally park in the small lot, but now I can go in with one swift sharp turn, and back up as normal. It's a fast little car too. I probably shouldn't admit it, but weaving between lanes on the freeway is a breeze. I never cut anybody off rudely but I can get enough speed in a short amount of time to switch lanes with adequate space just because I got up to speed so quickly. It's a beautiful car and it also sounds amazing. It isn't obnoxiously loud, but it definitely makes a sound or two for others to take notice. The gas mileage is also pretty good. It's what I got on my Mazda 3 (if not slightly better), I mean, as good as it'll get in California traffic. I wasn't planning on keeping this car for very long (as my purchase history demonstrates, I like to switch it up often) but honestly...this one might be a keeper (or at least I'll just get a newer MX-5 instead).

Selection is limited, the dealers like to haggle. Interior storage space is even less than in earlier models, pack light! It is a 21st century car, lots of electronics, more radars than a WW2 night fighter. If you want an affordable modern sports car there is no equal!
