5 Favorite Features of the 2021 Mazda Miata
1. Exhilarating Drive
Some people buy sports cars for their aesthetic, but most people buy sports cars for their drive. Featuring an RWD platform and a curb weight of only 2,341 to 2,403 pounds, the 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata does not disappoint in this department. This lightweight car comes with a 2.0L 4-cylinder motor that can produce up to 181 horsepower.
More importantly, this vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds with a manual transmission. While you’ll never need to go from a complete stop to highway speeds, it’s important to be able to accelerate quickly when you merge onto the interstate or change lanes. Additionally, this car is extremely fun and safe to drive thanks to its smooth, reliable responsiveness.
2. Style
The 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Grand Touring looks sleek and strong from the outside, and the interior is just as stylish. You’ll find you have plenty of legroom and headroom in the cabin, and there is excellent forward visibility. Additionally, the controls are very to use.

On the highway, you can expect to get 34 miles per gallon if you opt for a manual transmission. If you opt for an automatic transmission, you can expect to get 35 miles per gallon while driving down the highway.

You can expect standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, reliable, easy-to-use Bluetooth connectivity, a high-definition radio, a 7-inch touch screen, and two USB ports.
We also love the quality of the Bose sound system that comes standard with nine speakers. These speakers don’t just filter out ambient noise, like the wind.
