Fun To Drive

Driving a Miata RF is a thrilling experience. ‘Zoom, zoom, zoom’ is more than a catchy tagline, it’s the way the Miata responds when you step on the accelerator. The Miata’s intake’s unique design releases more horsepower and torque and creates an unforgettable sound. This lightweight sports car has superb vehicle dynamics. Its firm chassis helps this roadster engage every atom of energy to unleash a performance edge that will put a permanent smile on your face. Just time your shifting and let the engine work its magic and you will have lots of fun driving your Miata. 

A Very Reliable Vehicle

The Mazda Miata is well above average in reliability. It requires less frequent and less severe repairs than most vehicles in its class. Its low maintenance and ownership costs puts it among the most reliable vehicles available today. The Mazda Miata gets unscheduled repairs an average of .3 times each year. Plus, the probability it will need a major repair is less than 10%. That means 90% of the time you take your Miata into the shop it is to get an oil change or to have some other routine maintenance performed. You can rely on your Miata spending most of its time going ‘zoom, zoom, zoom.’ 

Amazing Handling

One of the most common reasons people buy a Mazda Miata is for its amazing handling. An energetic engine, effortless shifting, precise, responsive steering and its stirring acceleration lets the Mazda Miata RF go from standing still to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds. Its smooth, linear power delivery and taut suspension lets it rip around tight curves and navigate bumpy roadways with ease. The Miata’s set-up with the weight of the engine behind the front axle provides optimum balance with the center of gravity more towards the middle of the vehicle. This makes handling precise and predictable at any pace and on any surface. Its light, tactile steering changes direction promptly and its balanced chassis provides great driving feel. 

An Aesthetically Pleasing Appearance

The adventurous evolution of progressive style embodied by the iconic Mazda Miata RF roadster’s aesthetically pleasing appearance represents more than just a hardtop or a convertible. In under 15 seconds it transforms its appearance when its retractable roof quietly slips away leaving a poised fastback profile featuring sinuous lines. It creates a polished, charismatic, athletic look that’s beyond mechanical engineering. It’s a breathtaking piece of art whether standing still or in motion.
