Some roads ask nothing of you. The 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF exists for the roads that ask everything. At Basney Mazda, we consider it the most honest expression of how driving should feel: a two-seat roadster that distills decades of Mazda’s philosophy into something you experience before you ever think to explain it.
A Roof That Changes Everything
The retractable fastback roof folds completely away in approximately 13 seconds with the touch of a button. What remains is the sky, the road, and the model’s near-perfect 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution working quietly beneath you. Inspired by the sleek silhouettes of classic 1960s roadsters, it delivers the look of a coupe and the soul of a convertible in one seamless design.
Engineering That Connects Driver to Road
The SKYACTIV®-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder produces 181 horsepower with a 7,500 rpm redline that rewards every upshift on the right road. Rear-wheel drive sharpens the response on corner entry, while the Club trim’s standard Bilstein dampers, limited-slip differential, and Brembo brakes translate every driver input into something precise and immediate.
A Cabin That Disappears into the Drive
The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather shift knob, and available Recaro Sport seats position you naturally within the car rather than above it. An 8.8-inch display integrates Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Alexa Built-in without pulling your attention from where it belongs, and the available Bose® nine-speaker audio system performs beautifully whether the roof is open or closed.
