Mazda MX-5 Miata RF 2017

As a host and a passionate driver, I have to say the Mazda MX-5 embodies what a true driver’s car is. Engine in the front, power to the back, and a manual gearbox—this is pure, authentic connection to the road. The magic happens between third and fourth gear on a curvy road—you feel completely one with the car. While the tires are a bit narrower than a Toyota 86, that only makes it more agile—it handles like a dream. It’s surprisingly comfortable for its size, but ultimately, it’s that raw driving joy at a reasonable price that stands out. And hats off to the host—great communication and a smooth, seamless experience!

A wonderful service! The drivers kindly dropped the car off at my doorstep and picked it up. Communication was clear, timely and concise. The car was a bit of a smokey smell, but nothing a few minutes of windows down couldn’t cure. The car was new and in pristine condition. Would rent again!

The quality of the car was not good. The hand rest was broken, the driver visor was broken and it was dirty on the inside. It drove very well, but it was just dirty and a lot of things was broken on the inside of the car.
