First things first, the 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata has a standard Skyactive-G 2.0-liter engine.

2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata Equipment Levels
The 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata offers three trim levels called MX-5 Sport; MX-5 Club; MX-5 Grand Touring. Thus you can choose your most suitable roadster for your everyday commute or weekend car. Whatever you choose is, the 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata is available with a Soft Top or RF model. The RF stands for Retractable Fastback which is a hardtop model something I do prefer more. The 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF opens and closes its roof in 13 seconds. This particular model has a coupe-like outlook and that’s why I preferred it. The 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata comes as standard with a soft top and the RF is available for the MX-5 Club and the MX-5 Grand Touring equipment levels.

Years ago I saw a damaged soft top of a ‘90s Mercedes-Benz SL (R192) and
I was scared. I always feel uncomfortable with the automotive combination of
rubber, plastic, metal, and on top of this – cloth. When you see a damaged
soft top it’s really hard to get over it. It’s a barbarian scene. So, I do
preferer a retractable hardtop. These models have a coupe design something I like a lot. I still do remember the hardtop covers for the BMW E36 Cabrio and
for the Mercedes SL from the ‘90s that manually detachable hardtop stands as a gift on the car. Later when the hardtop models like the BMW 3
Series E93 or the second generation Volvo C70 I was very excited. If I have to
put a direct competitor to the Mazda MX-5 Miata it would be the BMW Z4 which
currently is available with a soft top only… I expected more BMW.
That’s the reason why I’d like to stay with the
2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF and I will avoid the soft top. The price range is
nothing special about the 2021 MX-5 Miata so you can have it. Of course, the
Mazda MX-5 Miata is mostly for having a fun car and to be used as a nice and different way to go to work or just to enjoy the weekends with it.
