A used Mazda MX-5 Miata offers an incredibly nimble and fuel-efficient drive, making quick work of local errands or daily highway stints on the San Bernardino Freeway. Its compact size makes lane changes effortless and finding a parking spot near Fontana shopping centers completely stress-free.

What is the difference between the Miata soft top and the RF model?

The classic soft top features a lightweight cloth roof that you can manually drop in seconds right from the driver's seat. The RF (Retractable Fastback) features a power-operated hardtop that delivers a quieter cabin environment when closed and a striking coupe-like silhouette.

Absolutely! We invite you to visit our showroom to test the seat comfort, explore the responsive steering, and see how the legendary cockpit layout feels. Check out our used inventory online to see which model years and trim configurations are currently available on our lot.

You can easily get a head start by using our digital tool to value your trade online. This gives you a clear idea of your current vehicle's worth, helping you build a transparent budget before you even step foot in the dealership.

Is a manual or automatic transmission better for a used Miata?

Choosing a transmission depends on your driving style. The manual shifter is celebrated for its crisp, short throws that provide an uncompromised mechanical connection to the road, while the automatic offers convenient paddle shifters for a relaxed drive in heavy Southern California traffic.
