2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Launch Edition Sold Out

The Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Launch Edition went fast.

Mazda has sold all of the 1,000 Launch Editions of the 2017 MX-5 Miata RF hardtop convertible. Torque News alerted our readers to the pre-order deadlines, and one of our readers was kind enough to follow up with a comment that they were able to secure one. Another reader was waitlisted.

Mazda originally opened up the 2017 MX-5 Miata RF to a select group of loyal Mazda Miata owners. This writer, the former owner of an NC 2007 Grand Touring Miata, was not included in that select group of Miata fans. The rumor is that to be included one must have had multiple Miatas and still be a current owner.

That allocation of about 500 Launch Edition cars sold out in about a week. Mazda then opened up the Launch Edition pre-ordering process to the general public. The remaining 500 cars sold out in 13 hours. This may seem like a very fast sale, and it is, but the 2016 ND Miata Launch Edition sold out even faster last year.

Those who wanted a Launch Edition will be happy to hear that the Grand Touring and Club trims of the MX-5 Miata RF are now planned for production in early 2017. These new models will differ in their construction from the soft-top Miata by having a 4.6-inch full-color TFT gauge standard and the availability of Machine Gray Metallic paint in substitution of Meteor Gray Mica that is available on the soft top.

Kept all the original watch packaging for added value. I'm 65, had an Alfa Romeo Spider convertible, purchased new in 1974, sold when started a family in 1979. The Miata is my reward for decades of public and family service, and plan on keeping it for a very long time.

I kept all of the original watch packaging too, Cathleen. I have you by one year, by the way. I my years I had 7 English Sports cars and became reasonably skilled at repairs to keep them going. My last was a 68 MGB which I did an entire engine rebuild on myself, but it still required tinkering.

My MX-5 reminds me so much of those cars but with more vroom vroom and reliability. I hope you enjoy yours for many more years. I know I will!!!

I started my search for a sports car on 2/8/17 & didn't know how rare the Launch Edition was. Luckily someone ordered one & couldn't buy it so it went to me as I paid cash so drove it home on 2/9. They have 1 more Launch Edition M/T (Kirkland, WA) left in showroom. I LOVE mine!!! Soooo much fun to drive, gorgeous and is very comfortable. I will keep her for a long time.

I got my car at the start of February. So much fun to drive. Still waiting for the watch. Any idea of how long it is going to take to get it?

I've yet to receive my watch too, but thought I'd give Mazda 6 wks from my purchase date before I inquire again. I checked with my dealership & they said it was ordered so if by 6 wks I've not received I will contact them again. If the watch still is not received then I'll contact Mazda directly via an customer service satisfaction email I received from the person in charge of North America Mazda business. They seem to value customer service so I think we'll get the watch, but I agree, it does seem to be taking a bit of time. Hope that helps.

It took me at least a month before I got my watch. Don't forget to put it in a safe place!

BTW: According to Touraneau, the watch retails for $2600 !!!

Hi Syed! I was told that the watch would arrive 4-6 weeks after I took possession of the car. It was actually around 5 weeks. A very nice watch to go with a really fun car. Enjoy yours!

Received my watch via FedEx a few weeks ago. Now, car at dealership: roof leak. Service dept. getting step-by-step directions from Mazda Corp. Hoping it will be resolved and not a lemon!

I am sorry.

I have been hearing an air leak from somewhere in the cabin. Is it supposed to be a 100% air proof.. should be. I haven't driven it in rain yet. No water dripped in when I cleaned it.

I have started hearing an annoying clicking sound from right behind the headrest on driving seat which is driving me crazy.

I have an air leak issue also from the driver door window.......not horrible but just enough to be annoying.........window closure should be air tight. Dealer is calling MAZDA to find out how they should proceed........GGggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

Hi Syed,

I don't think the serial number on the car or watch means anything unless you are Number 1. No way of telling that from Mazda. I checked. No doubt the first car of the production floor went into the Mazda museum.

Dennis (not verified)    March 3, 2017 - 4:00AM

Guess I was just the lucky one........walked into the dealer and saw the RF on the floor with a big SOLD sticker on it.........I nearly cried I was so disappointed. Manager took me into the detailing section of the shop and there shining bright was another Launch Edition up for grabs........WOW!!!!!! I immediately signed the papers.......gave them a huge bank check and drove off into the sunset......what a day indeed.
