1992 Mazda B2600 i Extended Cab review from North America
"Very reliable, and very good 4x4"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine is really burning a lot of oil and gas. 1 liter of oil per 2 tanks of gas, and I can go about 450km to 500km's on a tank of gasoline.
When I first bought the truck it got 700 or so km per tank of fuel, and oil burning was about the same.
The water pump belt broke and then the engine got a little bit on the hot side.
Other than the oil burning and crappy gas mileage, it has been very good.
General comments?
4x4 is the best. In 4-low it can go up any hill, and through a lot of snow and, on the sand it just rides on top of it as if the sand were cement.
It accelerates pretty good even at high speeds ex: 120km/hr and when you hit on the gas, you can feel it push you back a bit still in 5th gear. I got her up to 160km/hr I dunno how much faster id want to go with it.
The cabin for this truck is kinda on the small side. Not very much head room for a taller person, I'm 6'2". But as long as I can fit my subs in the back I don't care.
