2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Grand Touring
**Warning: Your Commute May Suddenly Become the Long Way Home.**
There are vehicles you buy because you need them.
Then there are vehicles you buy because you **want to drive.**
This **2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Grand Touring** definitely belongs in the second category.
Finished in sinister **Jet Black Mica**, sitting on **17-inch black metallic-finish alloy wheels**, and featuring Mazda's incredible power-retractable RF hardtop, this little two-seat roadster is basically an argument against boring cars.
It's low.
It's light.
It's rear-wheel drive.
And somewhere along the way, Mazda apparently remembered that driving is supposed to be **fun.**
**2 Seats. Rear-Wheel Drive. Zero Apologies.**
Under the hood sits Mazda's responsive **2.0L 4-cylinder engine**, sending power to the **rear wheels** through a 6-speed automatic transmission.
No giant horsepower number needed.
The Miata's secret has always been its lightweight chassis, excellent balance and razor-sharp handling.
Find a winding Hill Country road and you'll understand within about three corners why enthusiasts have loved these cars for decades.
This isn't about winning a drag race.
It's about smiling at 55 mph.
**Then There's the RF Hardtop...**
This is where the Miata gets really interesting.
RF stands for **Retractable Fastback**, giving you the security and sleek appearance of a hardtop coupe with open-air driving available at the touch of a button.
Sunny afternoon?
**Open it.**
Cold morning?
**Close it.**
Perfect Texas evening?
You already know the answer.
And in **Jet Black Mica**, the RF design looks particularly goodmore miniature exotic sports car than traditional convertible.
## **Grand Touring Means You Don't Have to Suffer for Your Fun**
