1993 Mazda B2200 Base review from North America
"Great little truck that is actually built to last"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong with the car in its entire life, just minor stuff.
Changed O2 sensor.
Fuel filter can sometimes get loose, and leaked a bit; replaced it.
Alos new tires and a tool box.
Other than that, just the general maintenance.
General comments?
The engine light came on at 80,000; my cousin told me (he was the previous owner) that it comes on automatically. I've heard different explanations as to why and how to get the light off. Does anyone have any ideas?
The car rides like a truck should; everything works, AC blows cold and the heater blows warm. Sure it lacks horsepower and torque, but even without adding a carb, or high performance plugs and wires and exhaust, the truck can still perform reasonable tasks that all small trucks are meant to perform.
With all the recalls nowadays, it scares me out of buying new cars. Like they say "They don't make em like they used to".
