2000 Mazda B3000 Troy Lee Edition review from North America
"Good purchase for a light truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Failed emissions test at 80,000 miles.
Replaced brakes and rotors at 85,000 miles.
Passenger side extended cab door does not shut well (and the "door open" light comes on when this happens). The door must be slammed hard.
General comments?
This is a good truck for light work.
The truck serves well with everyday commuting and use, but the gas mileage is not very good (about 250 miles per tank, if I have the tailgate down; only 200 if tailgate is up).
The truck handles fairly well, for a truck, but does do a little screeching around corners on slick surfaces and the ride is very bumpy.
The interior on this edition is nice, but the head rest portion is at an angle that causes discomfort to my neck.
The stereo is pretty dang good for OEM.
There is plenty of leg room and with the extra cab, even a long legged person can't complain.
Passengers are pretty cramped when sitting in the back, fold-down seats.
The special edition decals were fairly easy to remove, leaving a nice, solid black truck.
The rims on this truck look good.
The truck looks pretty good with no decals and a good polish. I receive complements.
