If you're in the market for a new sports car in Bradenton, the Miata is probably near the top of your list. However, narrowing down your choice might be daunting, as you have two distinct models to choose from – the soft top MX-5 Miata and the new MX-5 Miata RF. Explore the differences between the two today with Ed Howard Mazda.
Differences Between the MX-5 Miata and MX-5 Miata RF
The main difference between the two models is simple: the MX-5 Miata RF features a hard convertible top, while the MX-5 Miata has a soft convertible top. The hardtop model is power-adjustable, while the soft top is manual only. The MX-5 Miata RF also features additional insulation to provide less road noise, and the MX-5 Miata RF weighs more due to the added complexity and weight of the hardtop.
Furthermore, shoppers have more choices when shopping for a MX-5 Miata. It's available in three trim levels – Sport, Club, and Grand Touring. The MX-5 Miata RF is only available in two trim levels – Club and Grand Touring. The MX-5 Miata RF is more expensive than the MX-5 Miata, with a base MSRP of $40,210 compared to the lower price of the soft top – just $28,050.
Both models provide the choice of an automatic or manual transmission, standard rear-wheel drive, and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine developing 181 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. You can't go wrong with either one.
