I bought a new 2021 Mazda RF and have had it approx a month and a half and now both key fobs don’t work and the car won’t start. It was nice while it lasted. Definitely not a car for anyone over six feet tall. Design is very nice. It handles well. It’s just too bad brand new key fobs don’t work.

Car handles great, fun to drive, enough power, but might be improved with if super or turbocharged. Love it, constantly get comments about great look. Average 34 MPG around town, unbelievable!

It is so much fun to drive, it makes you smile eve

This car surprised me from day one. Three years later, I still smile each and every time I get behind the wheel. Even though the power is not impressive on paper, you never feel like you’re driving and under powered sports car. This car is preppy and you are so close to the road it feels like a go cart. One drive and you’ll be hooked. I never imagined a car in this price point would be so much fun. I have had many cars of the years, including sports cars and off road trucks. This car is nothing like the rest. I would like to see the infotainment updated add a little more creature comforts like cooled seats. I can only imagine how little this car would be with a turbo. At the moment, there’s just enough power not to get you in trouble. The Brembo breaks, Recaro seats and BBS wheels are worth the premium. Even though the handling is nimble, I replaced the Bilstien strut package with an aftermarket HRS adjustable coil over system. It lowers the ride, improves the handling even more, if that’s possible. Other than feeling a bit cramped, there are no disappointments with the ride.
