1988 Mazda B2200 review from North America
"Very good 2d vehicle and hauler for stuff"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery died due to old age and intermittent use.
Muffler went at 59,000.
Air cleaner housing hoses keep blowing out due to unknown cause. taking truck to shop now to find out cause; possibly clogged catalytic converter?
Winshield was leaking and patched with sealant when purchased.
General comments?
Extended long bed is incredible. more room than $30,000. trucks, I can haul anything.
Echo the upper body workout theme; try sharp turns or 4 point parking!
It almost looked new upon purchase. old farm truck with hardly a scratch.
Old style interior is kind of cool.
