1997 Mazda B2300 review from North America
"My dog, my wife, my truck... in that order!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's side rear wheel bearing replaced.
General comments?
My only real issue is with maintenance... spark plugs difficult to replace.
In two plus years of ownership it has been one of the best vehicles I've owned!
Manufactured by Ford... I don't know who to thank!!
