What Is the MAZDA MX-5 Miata?
From the moment it hit the market in 1989 to the cutting-edge new 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata, this rear-wheel-drive cruiser has defined driving fun. Between its near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, high-performance features like the available asymmetric limited-slip differential, and classic Mazda design features like Kinematic Posture Control, it’s a joy to drive. The advanced infotainment system imports your texts, calls, and more, or blocks them out so you can enjoy the ride.
What’s Different about the MAZDA MX-5 Miata RF?
Unlike the soft top of the standard 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata, the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF features a hard retractable roof. When parked or even at low speeds, you can retract the roof with the press of a button on the center console. Lowering or raising the roof only takes about 13 seconds, so you’re never far from enjoying the breeze.
What Are the Advantages of a Hard Top?
The rigid roof of the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF provides better noise isolation in the cabin than the soft-top roof of the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata, as well as providing better insulation against a cold desert night. A hard-top roof may also be easier to keep clean after rain, snow, and other precipitation. On the other hand, the soft-top roof makes the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata lighter.
