2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Convertible Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2025 Mazda Miata RF is the hardtop convertible version of the standard soft-top Miata we review separately. It has two doors, two seats and a very small trunk. It comes in two versions: Club and Grand Touring. Both come with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual is standard on both, but only the Grand Touring can be fitted with a six-speed automatic. As we note below, there are several mechanical features that disappear when you opt for the automatic.
Which MX-5 Miata RF trim does Edmunds recommend?
Whether you get the Club or Grand Touring, you're bound to have lots of fun behind the wheel of the Miata RF ... even if you select the automatic. That said, please don't. If you were ever going to learn (or just enjoy) driving a manual, this is the car to do it in. It also brings with it several key performance upgrades. As such, we would recommend the Grand Touring to more buyers. It costs less than the Club, and we think more people would more frequently appreciate its extra comfort features over the Club's lighter wheels, Brembo brakes and Recaro sport seats.
