1993 Mazda B2600 DX review from North America
"Reliable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only recurring problem stems from the head gasket.
This truck has required a liter of oil every 2000kms since I bought it new.
The truck also requires regular exhaust, fuel sending unit work, and brake work.
The suspension also has proven to be a little on the light side for serious off road duty be extra leaf springs are a cheap and easy fix for the shade tree mechanic.
General comments?
This truck has been reliable, provided I keep up on the maintenance. My only complaints lie in the cost of after market parts that don't appear to be of the same quality as original and that the truck could use a v6 (3.0 ltr. MPV motor?) to give some extra power for highway speeds.
