Why buy a used Mazda MX-5 RF?
Those looking for a sporty coupe that's a thrill to drive will find the MX-5 RF very appealing. Based on the same underpinnings as the regular MX-5, the RF offers a power-operated hardtop to provide refinement when the roof is up, but the joys of open-top driving when down. Featuring Mazda's signature 'Kodo' design, it looks the part too, ensuring you stand out from the crowd wherever you go.
Mazda MX-5 RF snapshot review

Mazda MX-5 RF by type
Used Mazda MX-5 RF information
Engines and transmissions
- The Mazda MX-5 RF comes with a pretty straightforward line-up of petrol engines, both of which offer punchy performance and engaging driving dynamics.
- The 1.5-litre engine offers 132bhp and a 0 to 60mph time of 8.7 seconds, while the larger 2.0-litre variant is more potent, offering 184bhp and a 0 to 60mph time of 6.8 seconds.
- Both manual and automatic gearboxes are available, although used examples with the automatic will be slightly slower to accelerate.
- Due to the additional weight of the retractable hard-top roof, the MX-5 RF isn't quite as fast as the standard soft-top MX-5.
- Front-engined, rear-wheel drive configuration makes the car a joy to drive.
Practicality
- Only two seats are available on all variants.
- Limited adjustment to the driving position and taller drivers/passengers will find the cabin a little tight (or have their head poking out when the roof is retracted).
- 127 litres of boot space are available, which is enough for a small case of luggage for weekend getaways.
- You're able to open/close the roof while driving at a speed of up to 31mph, ensuring you don't get caught out in the rain.
Safety
- The Mazda MX-5 RF itself has not been tested by Euro NCAP, but its close sibling the MX-5 has been, achieving a four-star rating.
- Standard safety equipment includes the likes of cruise control, hill launch assist, ISOFIX mounting points and dynamic stability control.
- Higher-specced used examples may come with additional safety equipment including a lane departure warning system, traffic sign recognition and automatic emergency city braking.
Technology
- Well-built interior with features such as a 7-inch infotainment screen housing much of the car's tech. Although this is starting to feel a little dated compared to rivals such as the BMW Z4.
- Plenty of technology on offer with gadgets such as satellite navigation, Bluetooth® and LED headlights coming as standard.
- The optional equipment list was fairly wide when new, with additional tech including a reversing camera, adaptive LED headlights, a limited-slip differential and automatic rain wipers.
