A huge thanks to @mazdauk for having me along at their most recent Drive Day @bowcliffehall4868 near Leeds.
The Mazda MX-5 is currently in its 4th generation which was released in 2015, although there has been an update along the way, this is the most current and most significant facelift.
In a world that is SUV and seemingly EV hungry, a small, manual, petrol, 2-seater roadster doesn’t seem like it has a place, this is the view of many manufacturers, giving Mazda a huge USP and market share of this sort of car!
The models I drove were:
1. Mazda MX-5 RF 2.0 184ps Homura - Soul Red Crystal -
2. Mazda MX-5 Roadster 1.5 132ps Exclusive-Line - Zircon Sand -
Driving both variants and both engines really proved to me that money doesn’t necessarily make a car “better” or specifically more fun. I really enjoyed driving the Roadster and the RF, but the Roadster felt more fun and special! Both engines were smooth and punchy enough, so I’d be more than happy with the cheaper 1.5 model.

You know you're getting old when you see a car reviewer young enough to be your grandson.

Amazing, comprehensive review - keep it up! I had a 1.5 soft top for a few days and although not especially powerful, never felt the need for more grunt! The 1.5 sounds sweater IMHO too.

Thanks Simon! Yeah, only if you are pushing it is when you’ll really notice the 2.0 has more power, just nipping about I found them both quite similar but prefer the cheaper price and lower running costs of the 1.5.
Hello Sam!!!!!.... this is the first time watching your vid and it's a joy to watch!!!!.... keep up and more power!!!!😊

Use your right had over your left shoulder to take the soft top down while seated in the car.
Not a fan of the phlegm and snot color
Such a gorgeous looking car but at 6'3" I doubt I'd have much headroom.

@@NanescuRadu1 Exactly! You should try if you fit. I'm 6'3" and I bought one this week. The soft top with Recaro seats. Soft top gives you a bit more headroom.

@@larsgbg2304 I'm also 6'3". I'm thinking of buying one next year, but the RF version. Unlike most, my legs are much longer than most men at the same height. I'm a little concerned about whether I will fit into it. I guess it back to the show room to try the size again.
Why do they always go for the RF model . The true classic is the soft top . Top up , or down in four seconds , even for an old crock like me .

I prefer the soft top too, I tested than one later in the review and compared it with the RF
LHD version gives a place to rest your foot and the gear lever not obstructed by the brake.Small things that would annoy me so happy I have Spanish version where they are rare.

Anyone who likes to drive knows why it uses a manual handbrake instead of an electric one
No excuse for a mechanical handbrake in this day and age.
