2023 Mazda MX-5 RF review
The MX-5 RF offers the superb dynamics we've long come to expect of Mazda's iconic sports car, but we'd personally prefer the soft-top.

Forget the fact the M5 CS only gets 7kW more power than the regular M5 Competition. It’s totally and utterly irrelevant, because you can’t quantify this car by numbers alone.
