The most fun car to drive that I’ve had, and that’s saying something because I’m older and have had a lot of them. I’m sure there are faster convertibles out there, but for the money, this car absolutely is a joy. I don’t think I’ve missed an evening drive after work yet since I got it a month ago! Love it.

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.

I love this car I had to trade my mustang gt since my daughter turned 16 and got her license, Wanted a Porsche Targa but not in the budget, No worries, I liked it better than the used caymans and audi tts;s Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Hard to get in and out of, no storage to speak of but it rocks. It really does.

I already have a "16" soft top MX5 and couldn't pass on the chance to get a "17" RF. That's allowed me to drive them back-to-back. Soooo . . . how do they compare? First, they are both tremendously fun to drive. You'll definitely be looking to take the long way home in both cars (preferably on some winding roads) to fully enjoy how well they perform. Both of mine have 6 speed manuals, which I think increases your involvement. I would have to say that overall performance is very similar in both cars. With the roof closed the RF is definitely a little tighter and, therefore, quieter. Surprizingly, you get a little more engine and exhaust feedback, which I'm liking. Operation of the RF top is easy. There is quite a bit of buffeting with the top open and windows down. The targa top definitely restricts rearward vision. Living in Michigan I'm seeing the RF as the perfect early spring, late fall and possibly winter(snow tires?)MX5 . . . an all weather interceptor. But, when summer rolls around around and sun comes out and the temperatures start heating up I'm still going to need my "rag top"!
