Its charmingly style, engaging driving dynamics, and affordability give it an edge over its competitors. So when it comes time for a refresh, you better believe Mazda pulls out all the stops for this living legend. But which Mazda Miata is right is right for you?<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will Your Miata be a Daily Driver?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many Miatas are great for a weekend cruise, but one of the most appealing factors about the Mazda MX-5 is that it\u2019s reliable enough and have just enough cargo space that they can serve as an everyday vehicle. An RF with the Grand Touring trim is the recommended daily commuter, perfectly handling long cruises, including road trips. It\u2019s not a quiet car car by any means (who would want that?) but the RF&#8217;s solid top makes it an easier ride for highway stints both short and long.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why the Grand Touring trim? Two good reasons: first is the more forgiving suspension. It dampens bumps, while still keeping the back end tossable and fun. The second is the niceties that are optional or unavailable on lower Miata trims including standard navigation, heated seats, leather, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and universal garage door opener.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/carcostcanada.com\/Canada\/Prices\/2017-Mazda-MX-5_RF\/29971\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Car Cost Canada\u2019s free report on all the different Mazda MX-5 RF <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0trims.

The soft top is about 100 pounds lighter than the RF Club, which is similarly equipped, giving you better performance. It also includes mechanical limited slip differential and firmer springs and shocks for peak performance and offers the optional Brembo and BBS package.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mazda Miata is the most cost effective performance vehicle you can find.
