2000 Mazda B3000 review from North America
"I love this little truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger Side Lock is "sticky" and requires the key to be wiggled to unlock it.
Power Steering Rack at 180,000km
Anti-Sway Bar at 180,000km.
General comments?
I love this little truck. It is small enough and fuel efficient enough for me to commute into the city everyday, but, large enough to carry my dirt-bike in the back on the weekends.
The manual trans is the nicest/easiest to operate trans I have driven.
Despite being a reg cab in a "toy" truck, the cab is very spacious and comfortable.
Unloaded it has a tendency for the rear to step out when it hits a decent sized bump. More than I would expect of a compact truck, but, less than a full sized.
The motor is content to cruise in the city at a slow pace, but, when need it will "get-up & go" quite nicely.
Very satisfied.
When the time comes my next vehicle will likely be an Ext Cab B3000 or B4000.
