Mazda started making Miata’s back in the 90s. These first models with there sporty flare, pop-up headlights, and smallish price tag endured it to the motoring world. Mazda had then perfected the small convertible sports car for the general public. The new MX-5s have begun to be more computerized and to have a more super car-eques look about them. The 2017 Miata RF model is final product one of these routes Mazda have taken. It has a new styled convertible roof that denotes it from other convertible sports cars. This new model also comes in a new “metallic grey” paint that I find very sleek. The RF model has the same “2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 155 horsepower and 148 pounds-feet of torque” as the standard model. The handling remains strong enough for this to be a day- to-day car and be fun a Sunday afternoon drive along a sandy beach. So Mazda has pleased this Miata fan by sticking with what works, a car that his fun to drive to work and around some corners.
