The 2019 MX-5 Miata is Mazda’s most powerful two-seater ever, and it’s available now. Motortrend calls it “Driving Fun Distilled.” US News ranks it #1 in Sports Cars based on 29 pieces of research and data elements from various sources. There’s never been a better time to buy a legend. We’ll tell you why.

MX-5’s New Engine Delivers More Power

New for 2019, Miata has a better breathing 2.0 liter inline-four SKYACTIV engine with internal revisions that give it 700 more rpm than previous models.

That power comes from enlarging the throttle body, intake and exhaust valves and connecting parts. Mazda also made the pistons and connecting rods lighter and stiffened the crankshaft. The result is 26 more horses and three more lb-ft of torque.

All that extra power doesn’t cost owners in terms of gas mileage. The manual 2019 MX-5 Miata gets an impressive 26/34 mpg on the city/highway while the automatic gets 26/35.

This year’s MX-5 Miata comes standard with a telescoping steering wheel, helpful for taller drivers who need to make adjustments. It also includes a rear backup camera to eliminate blind spots and make driving safer.

2019 MX-5 Soft Top or RF?

It’s an agonizing decision. We don’t envy customers trying to make it. Which should you choose, the striking new Dark Cherry or classic Black soft top or the clean, sleek lines of the RF’s Roof in place?

In East Texas, the weather changes in an instant. One minute you’re soaking up the Tyler sun, in your Miata and the next you might need to take shelter from a sudden shower. The 2019 MX-5 Miata RF roof opens and closes in just 13 seconds. The soft top goes from wide open sky to watertight with a single step you can complete with one hand.

What are the pros and cons of each? Really, it’s mostly pros. The RF roof gives a little more insulation against road noise, but you have to be completely stopped to open and close it. As far as looks go, it’s a matter of personal preference. This iconic roadster will turn heads which ever option you choose.
