2000 Mazda B2500 DX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Excellent family vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Premature wear of front disc pads.
General comments?
Excellent family vehicle for both around town and soft-medium off-roading.
The suspension travel isn't sufficient for the harder trails, but for beach work it is great.
Responsive economical engine, but the fifth gear is too low - over 3200 RPM at 100km is ridiculous for a diesel.
Longer ute tray then Hilux or Navara.
