The Mazda MX-5 RF


The Mazda MX-5 RF (Retractable Fastback) is finally here.  It replaces the soft top version as Bermaz is no longer making the it available for booking.  The MX-5 RF is more like a targa-like roof, making the first MX-5 that takes away the fully open roof feel.  Ahhh...wouldn't that defeat the purpose of a roadster?  Well, design is always a like or hate in the eyes of the beholder, no correct or wrong answer.  Personally, the soft top MX-5 ND is still better looking and make more sense than the RF.  


This round, Bermaz has finally make the auto and manual transmission available on the MX-5 RF, though the engine choice remains solely as the 2-litre unit.  The auto and manual variants are available for RM248k and RM243k respectively.  Comparatively, the RF is RM22k more expensive than the soft top variant.  MX-5 lover, what do you think about the RF?
