Mazda Roadster RF (Japan)
Over a month after it went on sale in
the United States, the Mazda MX-5 RF (Roadster RF in Japan) has gone on
sale in its home market.
The RF sports the same fastback styling and power
retractable hardtop that can be opened and closed with ease, and at 3,240,000
Yen (US$ 31,170) for the six-speed manual transmission S grade, it's a bit less
expensive than its North American twin, which can be had from US$ 31,555.
The roadster is powered by a 2.0-liter, SkyActiv-G
petrol four-cylinder mated to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed
automatic gearbox. Depending on the version, the Mazda Roadster RF can be had
with a piano black roof, a choice of six exterior colors and 17-inch,
chrome-finished, alloy wheels.
Additionally, it can also be specified with soft
Nappa leather, while the most expensive version, the RS, comes with special
seats, jointly developed with Recaro, Nappa leather and red accents.
