MX5Global is an independent site about the Mazda MX-5 Miata, created by Alan Chevereau and launched on November 17, 2025. This page explains how our guides are written, checked and corrected.
The three-proof rule
No technical claim goes live without three supports: a verifiable documented source, a cross-check against owner reports, and consistency with what the other generations confirm. If the three do not line up, the claim is not published, or it is flagged as uncertain.
Preferred sources
- manufacturer data (Mazda press releases and spec sheets)
- recognized reliability reports and official data
- government bodies (recalls, regulations, EPA)
- the automotive press and published market values
- verifiable owner reports, always cross-checked
Manufacturer data outranks a forum. A documented forum thread outranks a single opinion. A single opinion is never presented as a fact. Whenever possible, the source is cited and linked next to the figure.
Facts and opinions
Facts are sourced. Ratings, verdicts and buying advice are presented as editorial opinion and labeled as such. Every figure comes with its source, or is labeled as an editorial estimate.
Use of AI tools
AI tools are used as a writing aid. Every piece is reviewed, sourced and approved by Alan.
Affiliate links and independence
Some links may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The recommendation comes first, the commission second. Details in our affiliate disclosure. MX5Global is not affiliated with Mazda.
Updates
Key pages show a last-verified date. Prices and market values are dated, and we say so when a figure has not been refreshed.
