Hey Joseph. Nice job on the feature rundown. I picked up my ‘24 GT RF a few weeks ago. Love the car. I caught just a couple features you didn’t mention in your review. The frameless rear view mirror includes HomeLink garage door openers and is self-dimming. The driver’s side mirror is heated. The headlights, in addition to being self-leveling, automatically track your path as you go around corners (fantastic on dark roads!). The high beams can be set to automatically dim with oncoming traffic. Apple CarPlay is now wireless. Also, the trunk is the same size in the RF as the rag top. It didn’t used to be that way in the NC’s with the fully-opening hardtop. That mechanism stole some room from the trunk. This time around the metal folding parts fit in the same space as the folded cloth top.

I've just hear the RF has MASSIVE blind spots. The RF adds a decent amount of weight and seems like one more thing to break. I'm looking at the Club option

I have a ‘24 GT RF. Not really a blind spot problem because the mirrors overlap nicely giving you a full picture to the rear. Add to that the rear quarter panel radar that flashes in your mirrors and this is probably the safest Miata I’ve owned, and I’ve had three ST’s. As far as the top breaking, it’s a very well-engineered car, as we all know. I’m betting that that same approach applies to the top mechanism. I’ve replaced soft tops on two of my former Miata’s-they do wear out here in the desert sun. It’s pretty expensive if you go OEM, and you need to be very careful when you choose aftermarket. Some don’t fit like the original. I’ve done it both ways.
