Product Description

Product Description
When the Mazda MX5 was launched in 1989, sports cars enthusiasts gave thanks. Safety regulations had virtually killed off the traditional roadster in the early 1970s, and if you wanted the wind in your hair the choice seemed limited to a four-seater convertible that looked like a pram. Hopes were pinned on the launch of a new MG - but the MX-5 got there first. The car is a star. Here is the full story, from genesis and model evolution to ownership, with all the possibilities that offers.

About the Author
During her 15-year journalistic career Liz Turner has worked for numerous car magazines, including five years on Autocar, and as a road-tester has had considerable experience of the Mx-5. She currently works for What Car? and lives at New Malden, in Surrey.

1.0 out of 5 stars Could do better!, 6 May 2004

By A Customer

A 'must-have' for die-hard MX-5 enthusiasts if only for some of the interesting photos and the 'fun' of trying to identify all the inaccuracies within the book.

Although the book boasts information on 'buying, enjoying, maintaining, modifying' MX-5 and its international variants, it should not be confused with a Haynes Workshop Manual as it will not tell you how to rebuild a gearbox nor even replace the spark plugs. The information, which is quite basic, is sometimes also inaccurate or incomplete, and while apparently aimed at the MX-5 novice it could just as easily mislead or misinform that group.

The apparently arbitrary rating of Limited and Special Editions in Chapter 7 is likely to infuriate rather than inform.

Comments, sometimes conflicting, have been accumulated and presented as facts.

There are other books that will provide the enthusiast with a better source of reference on the cars, namely "Mazda MX-5, The full story of the World's favourite sportscar" by Brian Long, and "Mazda MX-5 and Miata 1989 - 1999" by James Taylor. For maintenance consider "Mazda MX-5 Enthusiast's Workshop Manual" by Veloce Publishing and for tuning & performance "Mazda Miata Performance Handbook" by Norman Garrett III.

I would recommend purchasing this book after the ones listed above. By then you will be able to tell 'fact' from 'Haynes'.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, 28 Jan 2004

By A Customer

This is an interesting book about the history of the MX5 and worth buying before you go out and purchase the car. There are some useful - but simple things to look out for along with contact details for clubs and websites. However I was looking for a book to help me with DIY maintainance - this book doesn't do that. I have just bought a workshop manual. In short, if you want to understand where the MX5 came from and see pictures of how people have modified the car then this book is ideal. If you want a book about actually 'maintaining and modifying' the car buy one of the other workshop manuals.
