2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Grand Touring 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl 6M)

This is the most fun to drive car out there. I own a late model Corvette and have had many sports cars including Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Mustang, Cobra, etc. The overall driving experience of the new Mazda MX-5 RF GT-S is just total excitement and pleasure. It does everything right and keeps you grinning from ear to ear. You have to experience driving this car to understand how much fun it is. I researched and helped a friend buy this car. He was in the market for a new toy after owning a Honda S2000 and a Porsche Cayman. He can’t get over what a great sports car this is and the deal we made to buy it new, hundreds below dealer invoice. He planned on using it as a weekend fun machine but now finds himself using it more like a daily driver, getting his dose of driving pleasure.

This is the first time a Miata actually looks like a mans car. The lines are beautiful and the car feels like a go cart. I love how the car handles and the car is as quick as I need it. Love the car!

I drove a '93 Miata for 22 years before giving it to my younger brother, who I knew had lusted for it. Then I read a review of the 2017 RF and started looking into it. Now in my late 70's, I found that I still desired a stick shift car that was fun to drive. I have only 400 miles on the RF Grand Touring model but it is all that I hoped for. Love the retracting hard top. The performance so far is fine for me. Will probably die driving a stick shift (as the reviewer wanted to do).

Mazda Warranty Service is a Joke

A/C has an intermittent failure that started while still under bumper-to-bumper warranty. 7 trips to the dealer later and Mazda can't determine the cause of the issue and refuses to do anything further. I now have to go through BBB arbitration, which I'm thrilled about. The cars themselves may be leaning more high-end, but they still have economy car customer service.

The car never fails to elicit grins. It's a great partner on any drive. The trunk is surprisingly roomy, and unaffected by the position of the top. In winter, the interior gets nice and toasty quick. The navigation system works well enough that I don't need to find a place for my phone. The quality of the sound system is fantastic, but it takes a few minutes to start up if you use a high-capacity (>32GB) USB drive. Still, it's a delight to be in either seat. Having had a 2017 model first, the enhancements in 2019 (including the GTS package and its Bilstein shocks and limited slip differential) are transformative. It's a much more satisfying car to drive. Update 1: I'm replacing the 2019 with a 2022. Same exterior color, similar interior (from Auburn Nappa leather in the 2019 to Terra Cotta Nappa leather in the 2022). Update 2: The 2022 model is pretty much indistinguishable from the 2019 physically and the driving experience is still exquisite. The updated infotainment system is MUCH slower on startup, and has many new features, none of which are documented in any manual. Very frustrating.
