1987 Mazda B2000 cab plus review from North America
"I think that a Mazda truck is a very good vehicle and an excellent used car buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brake pads wore out.
Front rotors had to be changed.
Right front caliper was dragging.
Heater control is loose, so I leave it on defroster/heat in case it breaks.
General comments?
Although I have only owned the truck for a year it has been very reliable for a 17 year old truck.
The truck dosen't have much power, but gets 24 MPG, on the original drive train.
I love the roominess inside for such a small truck, even for a large person.
I think what I like most about the truck is how simple it is, everything inside the truck is easy to use and for the most part seems to be made to last.
All of the trucks interior is in very good shape, hardly any wear.
