1992 Mazda B2600 review from North America
"A solid reliable vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced water pump at 109000 miles.
Replaced exhaust from converter on back at 108000.
Replaced one ball joint 110000.
Speedometer needle fell off at 93,000 miles, replaced it with one from a salvage yard - easily done.
General comments?
Always starts instantly, even if at -30 F.
Four wheel drive system works flawlessly and it's great in the snow.
Gas mileage could be better.
Seats are very comfortable.
Kind of a dog when pulling a boat trailer.
Rides kind of rough.
I've hauled up to 1,500 pounds in it and it drove fine even overloaded.
Cab is too small for my growing family, but it is a compact truck after all.
Easy for the amateur mechanic to repair. The only mechanic work I've had to do was for the ball joint.
