2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata Pre-Orders Now Open to the Public

Mazda has a few pre-order spaces available for its 2017 MX-5 Miata RF.

The all-new 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF is available for pre-order. No special invitation is necessary. The group of loyal Mazda Miata owners that Mazda pre-selected to have first dibs on the Launch Edition RF have all made their choice and some of the 1,000 units are still available for purchase.

All that is required from those who wish to buy the exclusive MX-5 Miata RF Launch Edition is a $500 deposit. Sign up at MX5RFPreorder.com. The only decision you need to make before calling is whether you want the six-speed manual (our choice) or the six-speed automatic complete with paddle shifters. The price of the Launch Edition is a very reasonable $34,685 for the manual, or $35,760 for the automatic transmission. Both prices include destination and delivery. Buyers will also receive a commemorative watch.

The Launch Edition only comes in one combination of colors. The RF will feature custom Machine Gray Metallic exterior paint color and Auburn Nappa leather interior trim. In addition, the roof is hand-painted black.

Commenting on the 2017 MX-5 Miata RF, Robert Davis, senior VP, U.S. Operations, Mazda North America, said, "The MX-5 RF Launch Edition has a personality all its own, and stays true to the legacy of pure driving pleasure. The preorder is a great opportunity for current and prospective customers to join us as we usher in a new era for the beloved roadster. This helps pave the way for when the 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF makes its way to dealerships next spring."
