Haynes has whipped up another repair manual in its never ending quest to squeeze out Chilton's. It's doubtful that will ever happen. Although Haynes puts out a functional manual that covers general automotive repairs extensively, it seems to lack information on more abstract problems. Haynes always starts out with a troubleshooting guide, but you'll find the same problems diagnosed no matter which manual you buy. Maybe it's just me, but my automotive problems always lie outside the spectrum of Haynes' thinking. It's almost it's as if the manual were designed for someone who has never worked on a vehicle before. Are those the people who are buying this book? I'm thinking not, but what do I know? Haynes does provide easy to follow steps for most procedures involved, if you have the proper tools. Although many photos are provided to exemplify a particular removal/replacement procedure, I've sometimes felt that a diagram works better for such purposes. There are numerous wiring diagrams available, but it would be nice to see some color there to differentiate the wiring. My suggestion, spend the extra money on the official Mazda shop manual (or Ford Probe as it were). The extra money spent is well worth it.
