1996 Mazda B2300 Extended Cab review from North America
"I wouldn't trade my Mazda for anything, well maybe convertible Beemer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My Mazda finally died for the first time the other day. I think it is the alternator, but I am still in the process of figuring that out.
Very little power.
General comments?
Until recently, I have never had a problem with my Mazda, other than routine maintenance issues. I have put over 100k miles on it and plan to hopefully put another 100k on it.
It has been a real workhorse. What it lacks in power, it certainly makes up for with reliability.
