It's all about
performance that's over and above.
The crowning touch on this year's Mazda MX-5 Miata is an all-new available Power Retractable Hard Top. One that's as remarkable as the sports car
it covers. One that can be fully lowered or raised in a superfast 12 seconds flat.* One that doesn't steal a single inch of precious trunk space—unlike
those from Mercedes-Benz and Lexus. One with a design so ingenious, the hardtop is stored entirely behind the seats and concealed entirely by a
unique rear-deck cover. One that provides greater security and protection from weather, wind and road noise—all with push-button convenience.
And since an MX-5 Miata Power Retractable Hard Top weighs less than 80 lb more than its soft-top sibling, its stellar driving dynamics remain virtually
the same. A fact that will make this "hard" decision a far easier one for many driving enthusiasts.
* Once latch is disengaged or engaged.
Operating the available Power
Retractable Hard Top is as easy
as it is quick. One button lowers
the top. Another raises it. And a
single, centrally positioned latch
locks it into place. No getting out
of the car. No need to spend more
than 12 seconds to completely
lower, or raise, the entire hardtop.*
And no loss of precious trunk
space. Incredible.
The standard, manually operated convertible top on the MX-5 Miata features an innovative "Z-fold"
design with a spring-assisted frame and single, centralized locking mechanism. All of which enable
you to easily raise or lower the top from the driver's seat in seconds. Better still, its elegant, flush-
fitting design eliminates the need for a separate tonneau cover and doesn't intrude one inch on
trunk space. Compared to previous generations, it also delivers greater headroom and reduced wind
noise. But regardless of which MX-5 Miata convertible top you choose—hard or soft—you'll enjoy
sleek, stylish protection. Plus a durable glass rear window, an integral rear window defogger and an
elegant design that makes some convertible tops look more like ugly afterthoughts.
