The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club RF RF is a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive convertible designed for driving purists. It’s a fun, fast, fantastic looking car that pleasant on the eyes and friendly on the budget for a car of
this style. With its sharp steering, minimalist design, and driver-focused cockpit, the Club trim continues the Miata’s legacy as a fun sports car for this era. The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club RF flaunts a sleek, roadster-inspired exterior that blends classic charm with modern athleticism. It features 17-inch Metallic Black
alloy wheels, and sport-tuned front and rear spoilers that enhance its aerodynamic profile. The low-slung stance, sculpted body lines, and compact dimensions give it a track-ready look. For Baby Boomers who are old enough
to remember, this current new Miata was inspired by the classic 1960’s roadster convertibles, with a coupe-like silhouette.
Designed for driving enthusiasts, the Club trim’s exterior signals performance without sacrificing style. This is a two-seater vehicle sports car that’s prepared to reduce body roll during cornering. This is done primarily through sport tuned suspension with Bilstein® dampers for enhanced handling; Limited-slip differential and Kinematic Posture Control. This feature further increases stability and improves steering precision during cornering too. Black front lip and rear spoiler enhance aerodynamics and visual appeal.
The 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club RF offers a driving experience centered around the joy of open-top fun driving. The primary convertible feature is the manually-operated cloth soft top, which allows drivers to change
the appearance and experience of the vehicle. The soft top design is a key star of the show for the MX-5 Miata’s classic roadster’s look. The convertible roof wind blocker is also a standard feature. Open the driver’s side door to immediately be welcomed by Recaro sport seats that can be heated when temps drop in a few short months. There’s fabric-trimmed heated front seats, with a leather-trimmed heated steering wheel. Listen to your favorite music, sports or news channels through the Bose 6-speaker audio system with headrest speakers and subwoofer. Trunk space is limited to 4.6 cubic feet. There’s not a back seat or LATCH connectors, so it’s not designed for child seats or large cargo. But there is a 60/40 Split, with Fold-Up Rear Seats.
Under the hood, the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club RF is powered by a SKYACTIV ®-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. This engine delivers 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. The Club trim comes standard with
a SKYACTIV®-MT 6-speed manual transmission with a short-throw shifter, enhancing the driving experience. The MX-5 Miata offers nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution, which is awesome because this contributes
to a smoother and more connected driving experience. There’s an 8-spd automatic transmission, and a 4cyl turbo powertrain. As part of the many safety features, the MX-5 Miata Club is equipped with Dynamic Stability
Control (DSC) with Traction Control as standard equipment. The car features 4-wheel disc brakes with 4-wheel ABS, front vented discs, brake assist, and hill hold control.
