Mazda MX-5 (Miata) RF GT Manual Review: Still the best sports car to buy?

The Mazda MX-5 RF (Retractable Fastback) features a stunning power-folding targa-style hardtop. It boasts an engaging 2.0L Skyactiv-G engine (181 hp), precise manual or automatic transmission options, and is renowned for its signature Jinba Ittai (horse and rider as one) handling dynamics. Mazda MX-5 rivals are also dominated by the Toyota GR86, the Subaru BRZ, Nissan Z and Porsche 718 Boxter.
