text: I purchased the redesigned 2016 MX 5 and I call it a "Baby Vet" at 50% of the cost and just as fun to drive. The only drawback is the small trunk. Can't even place my golf clubs in it. The 4 banger in it provides  very impressive  power and is more than you need (hint- I'm not 20 something but a more a mature age).  I may even consider trading it in for the RF.
