1998 Mazda B2500 review from North America
"Okay as long as not driven everyday"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A lot of things have went wrong with this truck since a few months after purchase.
This year alone we have had to replace 2 transmissions, brakes, tie rod, rotors, dist. cap, plugs, wires, 2 tires, and much more.
The truck is very noisy wind road noise and rides surpisingly rough.
Just the general things on the truck seem to be okay, except the center console.. it is starting to wear pretty badly.
General comments?
* Truck has OKAY gas mileage
* Comfy seats for long dist. driving
* bright lights for illumination in bad weather
* bright console lights
* paint not fading and overall in very good condition
* doesn't do well (mechaniclly) when driving long distances
* not very good in bad weather (rain/snow)
* very very light (which is bad in wind)
* rides like a car
* bed too short.
