1993 Mazda B2200 Short box review from North America
"A tough little pickup"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced muffler and tie rods upon purchase.
Leak in rear differential - took a while to find but an easy fix.
New starter at 225,000 km.
General comments?
Takes a long time to warm up in the winter, seems like the heater doesn't work very well.
Does not like highways. Anything above 80km/h seems like a struggle and gas mileage goes down a lot.
Other than these things the truck is fantastic and I am very happy with it. Would buy another one if they still made them this way.
With no power steering and no a/c the truck feels somewhat primitive, but I enjoy that about it.
