1988 Mazda B2200 SE-5 review from North America
"Very nice truck. Very inexpensive and reliable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
"Clicking" while driving on hot days - fixed now. Replaced battery, fuel filter, fixed oil leak, normal problems for the age of the truck.
General comments?
Very nice truck. I love it. Very reliable. I learned how to drive it this truck and it's a very good first car for someone. Gives your arms a workout when parallel parking for lack of power steering, but it's not too bad otherwise. Slow acceleration because of not having fuel injection. Very cheap to operate and fix. Not too expensive to fill up with gas. OK gas mileage. Cab is very comfortable and roomy. Seats are comfortable except for on very long drives. Overall, I am very happy with it.
