I got the Machine Grey GT RF and it's such a beautiful car! very zippy and handles well. interior is very nice (I got the white leather interior) It's small, but awesome! love the ability to drop the roof or close it and feel like a coupe.

Fun ride

2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Grand Touring 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl 6M)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful

I bought a 2019 RF GTS new in 2020. With Bilstein dampers and front tower brace included and added Apple CarPlay, it’s virtually the same as the 2020 and 2021 models. This is an outstanding second car. It is impractical as a hauler as there is no storage space. Interior storage space is non existent and the trunk is tiny. But that’s not why you buy a Miata. The driving experience is truly excellent and is the most fun I’ve ever had driving. The manual transmission is excellent, curvy roads are awesome and the power is just right. There are endless aftermarket upgrades. You’ll look for excuses to take this thing on the road. It’s been our escape hatch during the pandemic. We put the top down on cold days with the heated seats on. Tons of fun, economical and reliable. What more do you need?

GT is Meaningful Now

We traded our 2013 Miata on this 2019 Miata RF 5 years ago. It has not needed any repair of anything. We have only done routine maintenance. This car is a blast to hustle mountain roads (or freeway interchanges) and is comfortable enough to take a several hundred mile trip. The trunk holds a surprising amount of luggage. The closed retractable roof offers a weatherproof and reasonably quiet ride. You can hold a conversation but still not a quiet conversation. By the numbers, the increase in power seems slight, but in driving it is obvious. Accelerate in city traffic? Just squeeze the throttle. The 6 speeds are beautifully spaced. All the current technology is here from Apple Car Play to blind spot warning (helpful in a car low to the ground). To be sure, it’s still a low-slung sports car that requires some agility to get in and out. This car has all of the Miata charm plus a few new comforts. If you fit, you’re in for a fun, trouble-free experience.

A breath of fresh air, sleek styling with curves in all the right places. Brings a smile to one's face with the top down on a serpentine back country road. Thanks to Edmunds recommendations this car made my year.
