1989 Mazda B2200 LXI (Super Cab Pickup) review from North America
"A good solid truck, a faithful friend"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the clutch, brakes.
Rebuilt head at 140,000 miles.
Overheating problems at 150,000 miles, possibly due to a bad fan clutch.
General comments?
Good economy for a pickup of this size.
Underpowered of course, goes up the mountain passes at about 50 when empty.
Nice design on the engine and mechanical stuff, good thinking makes it relatively easy to work on.
Excellent quality in the work and materials. I am impressed with Mazda!
