We cover the MX-5 Miata across the NB, NC and ND generations. Engines include the 1.8-liter BP, the 2.0-liter MZR and the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G, with soft-top and retractable hardtop versions.



Model year 2006 is part of the third-generation MX-5 (NC) (2006–2015). It is the first model year of this generation: the platform, wiring and many procedures changed compared with the previous model, so a manual for an earlier year will not match it.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2006 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “6”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 20 years old, a 2006 vehicle is in the age range where wiring, rubber hoses, seals and corrosion repairs take most of the work, and where original factory information is hardest to find.
