Few modern cars are as universally loved as the MX-5. Men love it. Enthusiastic owners' clubs have formed all over the world, meeting up to show off their choice of accessories, to compete in autocross, circuit racing and even drifting, or simply to have a chat. Why? Because it looks great, its handling is a delight, it's reliable and it's affordable. You don't need a fun car and an everyday car if you own an MX-5; it's both. So it's not an overstatement to say that this little car has brought true driving delight to the masses. Remarkably the owners of all three generations all mingle happily and, in the UK, personally imported Japanese roadsters are welcomed equally with the official machines.
The creation of the MX-5/Miata took imagination and brilliance on the part of the engineers and designers who created it - and of the management who not only allowed them to do it once but also ensured continuity by calling back team members from each generation to work on the next. Haynes Enthusiast Guide: Mazda MX-5 includes interviews with many of those involved in the creation of all three generations. It goes behind the scenes to tell the incredible story of the MX-5/Miata's birth and development in the words of the brilliant engineers and designers in the USA, Japan and Europe.
The opinions and photos of club members worldwide are featured throughout, giving a voice to enthusiasts who have set up aftermarket companies to push the limits of performance and visual modifications. So whether you simply want to know how to buy a used MX-5/Miata and how to get the best out of it, or you want to load it with accessories, strip it down, race it and join the exuberant worldwide community of owners, Haynes Enthusiast Guide: Mazda MX-5 will be a worthy edition to your bookshelf.
