2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF and Soft Top

Miata. Roadster. MX-5. Whatever you might want to call it, we call it timeless. When the original MX-5 Miata made its world debut on a frigid morning at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, few could have imagined its importance—and staying power—for the automotive industry and Mazda. Lighter, smaller, quicker and more nimble than its predecessor, MX-5 has adopted Mazda’s full suite of Skyactiv Technology and Kodo—Soul of Motion design. In the process, MX-5 has shed approximately 150 pounds from its predecessor, with a curb weight of 2,332 lbs. when equipped with Skyactiv-MT six-speed manual transmission (2,381 lbs. with the six-speed automatic transmission).
