Mazda MX-5 Car Covers

The Mazda MX-5 (also referred to as the Miata in North America and as the Roadster in Japan) is quickly becoming a modern classic. Essentially Mazda have re-invented the concept of the lightweight roadster and the front engine rear wheel drive lightweight design hearkens back to the glory days of small, lightweight British roadsters such as the Jensen Interceptor, Jaguar E-Type, Triumph Spitfire and the Lotus Elan. Since we began trading as Just Car Covers our selection of Mazda MX-5 car covers has proved to be exceptionally popular, a testament to the love and dedication MX-5 owners have for their vehicles.

To some people the Mazda MX-5 has a bad reputation, but here at Just Car Covers we firmly believe that anyone who refers to it as a "hairdressers car" or similar simply doesn't have the automotive credentials to be discussing such things! The Mazda MX-5 is the closest many of us can ever get to owning a classic British roadster and Japanese manufacturers Mazda have done us proud with their modern spin on a variety of legendary classics. It is no wonder that our Mazda MX-5 car covers sell so well when you consider the lineage of the MX-5.

The Mazda MX-5 was first introduced in 1989 and and immediately revolutionised the motor industry. At the time the automotive trade was packed full of boring saloons, bland "hot" hatchbacks, chunky 4x4 "Chelsea tractors" and a whole slew of city cars and superminis completely devoid of any personality. Many argued that the MX-5 would fail and that the lightweight, affordable roadster had been and gone for a reason but Mazda stuck to their guns and the MX-5 quickly became one of the best selling sports vehicles of all time.

There are currently three generations of the Mazda MX-5 in existence and Mazda have resisted the urge to alter a design that proved so successful when it was first released. Apart from some minor aesthetic changes and some technological updates and refinements the Mk 1 and Mk 2 versions are very similar to the newer Mk 3, and a Mk 4 is currently being produced that will no doubt help cement the Mazda MX-5's place in the history books.

Just Car Covers retail a cover that will suit all three generations of MX-5 thanks to Mazda choosing to not alter their design very much. Everything from the original launch-day Mk 1 to the latest Mk 3 NC with folding hard top can be protected with a cover from Just Car Covers. Of course our waterproof half covers are exceptionally popular amongst MX-5 owners for obvious reasons and many of our customers purchase one of our indoor Mazda MX-5 covers as well in order to keep the dust off their pride and joy when it is parked in a shelter or garage.

Here at Just Car Covers we applaud Mazda for keeping the spirit of the classic British roadster alive in their MX-5 and we will certainly continue to enjoy supplying car covers to Mazda MX-5 owners the world over as long as they continue producing the car. And when the sad day finally dawns when the Mazda MX-5 is no longer in production you can bet your bottom dollar that we will be the first company on the market to commence selling covers for the MX-6!

"The fact is that if you want a sports car, the MX-5 is perfect. Nothing on the road will give you better value. Nothing will give you so much fun. The only reason I’m giving it five stars is because I can’t give it 14." (Jeremy Clarkson reviewing the MX-5 in 2009).
