1996 Mazda B2300 SE review from North America
"Great reliable truck, but I consider it gas guzzler"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced timing belt, spark plugs, brakes and changed oil (regular maintenance) the only problem I've had so far,the odometer stopped working at 102,000 (that keeps my millage low-:) ) ) )
General comments?
Seats could be more comfortable, shifter is too close to the dashboard (no, I don't have short hands),distance between pedals could divided better, but it is truck, not sedan.
Truck handles well even in rain, Yokohama tires are helping that I guess.
The only complaint would be performance.
It has no power at all and my gas millage is
under 20 mpg.
I can get more power and better millage with
V6 Tacoma or Frontier which I consider buying.
