1990 Mazda B2200 SE5 review from North America
"Do not buy this piece of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine leaked oil.
Speedometer made noise.
Exhaust system rattled.
Cylinder head cracked.
General comments?
The truck was pretty slow, but the engine was quiet and ran smoothly so I bought it thinking it would last a long time. After the cylinder head cracked leaking water into number one cylinder and into the crankcase I found out that this is a common problem with this engine. So I sold the truck for $300 after paying $2000 for it 5 months earlier.
