Used 1992 Mazda B-Series Pickup Consumer Reviews
dependable workhorse
I've owned my Mazda for a year and a half now and have had absolutely no problems with it. At 115,000 I'm still using the original clutch. I'm currently replacing the front-end suspension and steering wear components (for the first time)...parts are a little hard to find, but no more than any other foreign vehicle. Gas mileage is pretty poor for a 4 banger: 18 city, 21 highway...but the engine has good power for the vehicle (esp. having 115,000) and has given me no troubles...always starts without complaints even in cold weather (I live in Wisconsin).
140,000 and still going strong!
I bought this truck used and have been enjoying it for over 10 years now. You have to admire a truck that's still in good shape after 140,000 miles. The interior is comfortable, almost luxurious for a truck, and nothing has come loose. The engine has just had the usual routine maintenance items. It's aging gracefully like a fine wine. I had to have the A/C retrofitted to use non-CFC refrigerant. Body rust is minimal even though I've lived near saltwater most of the time. My hat is off to Mazda for a superbly reliable truck. (Don't be fooled - The new "Mazda" trucks are actually Fords.)
I wish they still made this truck
I purchased my mazda pickup new and have been amazed at its reliability. The only thing I have had to do other than routine maintanance is recently replace the valve cover gasket which had cracked from age after 13 years of service. I drive this truck hard and cannot believe the original clutch is still working. Hats off to mazda for one of the best made trucks ever!
Best Import Truck Built!!!!!
I bought this truck used in 1993, and have never regretted it. It has NEVER failed me. It has outstanding traction, I have even pulled a Toyota with bigger tires out of a mud hole I had just gone through. The only repairs I have done are Brakes, Battery, Tires, Shocks, Ball joints, the usual wear items, nothing serious. The truck is rated 18 city, 20 highways, but I average 22-24 mpg. I would love to buy a new one but unfortunately now they are rebadged Ford Rangers JUST NOT THE SAME!!!!!!
B2200 beast
I bought my 92 b2200 new. 2 clutches and new head gasket at 220k miles and that is it other than belt changes and preventative maintenance . I'm currently having it rebuilt at 356k miles. Got my money's worth. Putting a Weber carb and $1200 total rebuild price. What a great investment.
