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?
