2.0 out of 5 stars
So little for so much..., June 3, 1999
This review is from: Mazda 323, 626, 929, GLC, MX-6, and RX-7, 1978-89 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manuals) (Paperback)
An incredible amount of information (over 600 pages) yet it doesn't cover the most important. Other Chilton/Haynes books go into some depth about trobleshooting and maintenance, yet this one sorely lacks in troubleshooting. The back cover suggests it does. However, after several hours of thumbing through the index and book itself I still have a car on jacks in my front driveway and a very sore thumb.

Too much, to little, to late for me...., July 9, 2000
This review is from: Mazda 323, 626, 929, GLC, MX-6, and RX-7, 1978-89 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manuals) (Paperback)
This book lacked the indepth knoledge I have grown to look for in a book by Chilton. Too many cars for one book and the info seems to be mixed up slightly. NO troubleshooting charts as is said on the back cover, so my last thought is this book is very misleading.

Not Worth a Penny, September 4, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Mazda 323, 626, 929, GLC, MX-6, and RX-7, 1978-89 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manuals) (Paperback)
I bought this book to get a better understanding of the systems on my '80 RX-7. While reading, I've spent 75% of the time trying to weed through the text trying to locate the portions that applied to my vehicle. My advice would be to buy the Haynes manual which covers the specific vehicle, as this hodge-podge is very difficult to follow. Illustrations were sparse, and the ones that are there are marginal at best. The printing company that was contracted for this job must have been the lowest bidder. I also own a Suzuki Samurai, and the Factory Service Manual for it. I reccommend the factory books where available. Unfortunately, it's not available for the RX-7s. This is NOT EVEN CLOSE to the quality of a good factory manual. One man's opinion.
