Used 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Convertible Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The Mazda MX-5 Miata RF is a two-door sports car available in two trims: Club and Grand Touring. It separates itself from the standard MX-5 Miata with a power-folding roof that, when closed, makes the MX-5 RF look like a hardtop coupe. All models are rear-wheel-drive and powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (181 horsepower, 151 lb-ft of torque) paired with a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic.
Which MX-5 Miata RF trim does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend the Grand Touring trim for most people given its wide range of comfort features that make this tiny two-seater a more pleasant place to be. It only costs a fraction more for the upgrade, and the standard equipment adds impressive value for the money. Of course, the Club is an excellent option if you can't take your eye off those performance upgrades.
