Description

Right then, the Mazda MX-5 RF Convertible 2.0 Sport Nav+?a car that, if I?m honest, should come with a warning label. It should say: ?Warning: May cause excessive grinning and a tendency to find any excuse to drive somewhere.? Finished in a particularly fetching shade that lets people know you?re not a complete bore, this little machine is the absolute antithesis of dull. Under the bonnet, you?ve got a 2.0-litre engine producing a very respectable 184 horsepower. This is the sort of power that, on paper, sounds like it might get you into trouble. But it won?t. Why? Because it?s not about the power?it?s about the way the power is delivered. It?s nimble, it?s responsive, and it will have you flinging it through corners like you?re in the middle of a road-rage-induced chase scene in an action movie. And the best part? It doesn?t even have to try that hard. The RF stands for Retractable Fastback, which sounds terribly technical, but essentially it means you can transform this car from a coupe to a convertible with the touch of a button. Yes, it?s a little gimmicky, but frankly, I don?t care. The roof goes down, the sun?s out, and suddenly, you?re a more interesting person. It?s like a bit of magic. Inside, you?re greeted by all the ?Nav+? nonsense, which includes things like a touchscreen, a decent sound system, and, of course, the ability to pretend you?re someone who actually knows where they?re going. In reality, you?ll probably just be using it to listen to the glorious sound of the engine as you drive through beautiful, winding roads. And why not? This car has a slightly ridiculous charm to it. It?s not the fastest. It?s not the most luxurious. But if you want something that will make you feel alive every time you get in it, this is it. The Mazda MX-5 RF is all about having fun. And that?s something we could all do with a bit more of, wouldn?t you agree?
