The Miata has long been an icon of lightweight, high-octane fun on the road. With top-notch safety specs and a lively and joyful driving experience, the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF isn’t just a fast, fun car, it’s a statement of confidence.
2024 MX-5 RF Club
Under the Hood
The power plant at the heart of the 2024 MX-5 is the SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter DOHC 4-cylinder, making a lively 181 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and guaranteed to plaster a grin on the face of any driver coming off the line. The Club trim pairs that motor exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission that is incredibly fun to row thanks to its ergonomic design and short-throw shifting.
A sport-tuned suspension with Bilstein dampeners absorbs bumps and holds tight in the curves, while Kinematic Posture Control helps reduce body roll in hard turns, helping maintain both driving precision and confidence.
Inside the Cabin
The interior of the MX-5 RF Club is nice and upscale, with lots of attention paid to detail. One standout feature is the sound system; a 9-speakere Bose system with AudioPilot technology has a total of 9 speakers, including those mounted in both headrests and a subwoofer to boot. The heated RECARO sport seats offer confidence in even the tightest of corners. Apple CarPlay comes wirelessly, Android Auto tags along, and Alexa comes built-in for easy connectivity.
Roof Acrobatics
The best thing about driving a retractable fastback? Bringing the roof down and letting the sky inside. The roof of the 2024 Miata RF retracts in nearly 13 seconds, making it easy to let the open road into the Miata.
2024 MX-5 RF Grand Touring
Convenience
The Grand Touring trim adds some convenience features to the impressive standard feature set on the Club. The most notable is the available 6-speed Sport automatic transmission with paddle shifters for those who prefer the Miata to shift on their behalf, offering an EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 35 mpg highway. Climate control is automatic, and the windshield wipers are rain-sensing rather than the purely manual system in the Club.
Comfort
With the Miata hugging the ground, it’s easy for other drivers’ headlights to be near-blinding at night. The Grand Touring offers an auto-dimming driver’s side mirror to counter this challenge, alongside a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror enhanced with HomeLink technology. Seats get an upgrade to leather for a more upscale feel, with a luscious tan Nappa option available.
Whether it’s the solid performance of the RF Club or the high-touch luxury of the RF Grand Touring that has the features to get your motor running, there’s a Miata on the market for you. Test drive an MX-5 RF today at John Lee Mazda in Panama City, FL.
