Exploring the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF: A Pure Driving Experience
The Soul of Zoom-Zoom
The heart of the Miata RF is a 2.0-liter SKYACTIV-G 4-cylinder power plant, offering 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque, plenty of power to put a grin on the face of most drivers. But Mazda made that engine even more powerful by designing the Miata to be feather-light, tipping the scale at just 2,452 pounds for manual transmission variants and 2,496 pounds when equipped with an automatic.
That light weight makes it easy to get exciting acceleration out of the Miata, with Car and Driver clocking the MX-5 RF Club’s acceleration from 0-60 in just 5.5 seconds, and taking just 15.7 seconds to reach 100 miles per hour. Yet that light weight also allows the Miata to offer excellent fuel economy, earning an EPA-estimated 26 mpg city / 34 mpg highway.
Cradled in Comfort
The Miata is designed to be as comfortable as it is sporty, with features like its Kinematic Posture Control suppressing body roll in hard corners and offering increased precision and confidence. The two bucket seats can be optionally upholstered in tan Nappa leather for a supremely comfortable experience, though of course the steering wheel, parking brake, and gearshift are leather-wrapped on both trims.
Both riders enjoy over 43 inches of legroom, making plenty of room to stretch even on long drives. Front seats are heated, with the RF Club trim offering available RECARO sport seats for the ultimate race-ready ride. Audio is excellent, with a 9-speaker Bose sound system offering a subwoofer and speakers in both headrests for unique, high-quality listening. Mazda’s multifunction Commander control makes directing the infotainment system ergonomic and intuitive.
Keeps Connected
The 2024 MX-5 Miata RF offers plenty of connectivity for maximum ease of use. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity comes standard in both the RF and Club trims, and Amazon’s Alexa comes built-in for maximum ease, letting drivers add to their grocery list from behind the wheel. Mazda Connected Services allow AT-equipped Miatas to start remotely and even set the climate control, perfectly priming the Miata for your next drive from the comfort of your kitchen.
