2023 Snowflake White Mazda MX-5 RF late last year? You know, the one with the Terracota interior
See, I wasn’t looking for a weekend car or occasional track toy; no. I was looking for a daily driver. I was looking for something that I wouldn’t mind slogging through EDSA in, but I could, from time-to-time, take on trips out-of-town. This required a sportscar with some flexibility—something that could provide comfort, yet be entertaining enough behind the wheel.
Now, onto the MX-5 RF ownership itself, I’m happy to report that it’s been an uneventful nine months so far. I’ve managed to log in roughly 5,100-plus kilometers in that span of time, taking the roadster as far up as the Clark International Speedway and down south as Tagaytay. To be perfectly honest, I wish it could see more driving roads further up north or down south, but given my busy schedule , I haven’t had the time nor the mental capacity to take on a long drive.
Even better, the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder isn’t picky. Compared to, say, the Subaru BRZ or Toyota GR 86, that requires a strict 97-octane fuel, the MX-5 RF runs on 95-octane. From time to time though, I do switch over to a higher-octane fuel, particularly Petron Blaze. This is purely anecdotal, but I do notice it running more smoothly. Average fuel mileage so far? 10.64 km/L. And before I get chastised for it, yes, I did get my MX-5 RF in a 6-speed automatic.
More rubber parts come in the form of WeatherTech floor mats. I wanted to go for WeatherTech floor liner for the cargo hold as well, but because they don’t cover the entire surface , I went for the OE rubber trunk mat which does.
