Mazda MX-5 Miata RF For Sale in Colorado Springs, CO
Mazda MX-5 Miata RF For Sale in Colorado Springs, CO
The 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF is the retractable fastback version of the world's best-selling sports car — a power hardtop that opens in 13 seconds, a fastback coupe silhouette when closed that draws from classic 1960s roadster design, and the same SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter engine revving to 7,500 rpm and rear-wheel drive that make the Miata the driving benchmark it has been for four decades. Two trim levels — Grand Touring starting at $38,450 and Club at $43,135 with the Brembo BBS Recaro Package standard — offer two distinct interpretations of the RF experience. For Colorado Springs shoppers searching for a Mazda MX-5 Miata RF for sale in Colorado Springs, CO, new RF inventory is available at Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers, 7455 Test Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80923. Serving Falcon, Fountain, Pueblo, and the Front Range.
The Fastback That Converts: Why the RF Suits Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs has more than 300 sunny days per year — but afternoon thunderstorms can materialize over Pikes Peak in 20 minutes during summer, and the temperature swings between early morning and midday in the spring and fall can be significant. The RF's power hardtop lets Colorado Springs RF owners respond to all of these conditions without getting out of the car — the top opens and closes in 13 seconds at speeds up to 6 mph, so a driver caught in a sudden afternoon shower on Woodmen Road can close the top before pulling off the road. When the sky is clear, the open RF experience is every bit as involving as the soft top — the same chassis, the same engine, the same rear-wheel drive dynamics. When the top is up, the RF's closed cabin is measurably quieter at highway speeds than the soft top, with better wind and thermal insulation for the shoulder seasons when the top-down temperature requires some assistance from the climate system.
The 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Trim Lineup
Two RF trim levels cover distinct buyer priorities. The Grand Touring at $38,450 (manual) or $39,420 (automatic) is the comfort-focused configuration — 17-inch alloy wheels, heated leather-trimmed seats, automatic climate control, rain-sensing wipers, navigation, adaptive front LED lighting, an auto-dimming mirror with HomeLink, and Bose 9-speaker audio with headrest speakers for top-down listening. Grand Touring manual models also include Bilstein sport dampers, a front shock tower brace, an asymmetric limited-slip differential, and DSC Track mode. The manual Grand Touring is the best-value RF configuration for drivers who want comfort features, full performance hardware, and the top-down driving experience without the Brembo premium. The Club at $43,135 is the more driver-focused, track-capable configuration — with the full Brembo BBS Recaro Package standard on every RF Club: Brembo front brakes with red calipers, 17-inch dark gunmetal BBS forged aluminum wheels, heated Recaro sport seats with Alcantara and Nappa leather, black Alcantara interior with light gray contrast stitching, and the aero body kit. The RF Club is available with the manual transmission only. Its higher price relative to the Grand Touring reflects the standard inclusion of the Brembo/BBS/Recaro Package.
RF vs. Soft Top: Choosing the Right Miata
Both versions of the 2026 Miata are available at Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers, and the right choice comes down entirely to what kind of driving experience you want to live with. The soft top is lighter, less expensive, and more tactile — one hand, one second, and the top is down. The RF is heavier by approximately 110 pounds, starts $6,785 higher, and takes 13 seconds to open electronically — but when the top is up, you are driving a coupe, not a convertible. For Colorado Springs buyers who want a sports car that looks like a coupe from the outside on the commute to work and transforms into a roadster on the weekend drive, the RF is the right answer. For buyers who want the lowest possible weight and the purest open-air mechanical experience, the soft top is the right answer.
