Tony
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 Mazda3 expertly navigates the bustling Loop district, while a Mazda CX-5 offers excellent visibility when cruising down Michigan Avenue. Exploring neighborhoods like Lincoln Park becomes a joy with Mazda's premium interior comfort.
