  Do not buy PLEASE - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By fxdl1000 - June 9 - 2:00 am

  At 35000 miles it was getting sloppy. The rear end was making a klunking sound. Ingram park Mazda said the parts were back ordered and would take months to get. I called mazda factory and they called Ingram park mazda. The end result was Ingram park had screwed up. But still the part was months in comming. They said. I am stuck with a truck I am paying for with a serious defect and not parts!!!! My recomendation is to not buy Mazda trucks.

  Good Buy for the money - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By mutbreath - May 5 - 4:23 am

  Bought this as an extra car for running errands and doing the "honeydos". Great truck for the money. It looks great and rides fine. I like the extended cab for safe storage & the extra seating for my kids.

  Best truck I own - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By C. Clay-Van FArm - July 12 - 11:50 am

  This truck is a very reliable truck it has a good suspension for hauling trailers around the farm it handles very well at highway speeds and the only thing I would do to it is to add a larger rear end in it so that the motor doesnt have to strain so much when we are pulling hay wagons out of the fields and this has a very good leaf springs in it because we have hauled a 1500 lb. Safe home from 100 miles away and it didnt break anything

  B2300 AUTO - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By CMAN - June 27 - 2:00 am

  The only item that I dont like is putting the automatic gear shift in park it feels like you have the force it in.

  Think reliability ! - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By Nick Tremblay - June 19 - 10:00 am

  If you look a the quality/price ratio, the Mazda B-series gives you a higher quote compare to competitor. My criterias was reliabiliy, fun to drive, fair cost: the B-series was the one. Especially, the reliability...it is as reliable as a japanese truck ! Who cant say that !

  Kevins 2002 B2300 SE5 - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By kevroth - March 25 - 10:00 am

  This is my first truck, and I love driving it. I went with the Mazda because of the warranty (50,000 miles, as opposed to 36,000 on the Ranger or S-10). The suspension is a little tight, but thats not really a bad thing in a city like mine where the streets are a little rough. Running the A/C hurts the power a bit on the 2.3 liter engine.

  02 Dual Sport - Good Small Truck - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By reddualsport - October 13 - 10:00 am

  Ive had this one for a little over a year and have not had any problems. The ride is bouncy but its a truck. Mine has the trailer towing package and Ive hauled a 18 foot boat (1800 lbs) for 300 miles on one trip and it performed better than I expectd.

  Great little machine - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By B2300 - January 17 - 6:56 am

  One of the best vehicle buys I have ever made. Great mileage (28-33). No problems so far. Inside door handles have come somewhat loose and sometimes rattle. Mazda makes a great vehicle.

  Great incentives on good truck - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By hsjrev - November 30 - 10:00 am

  I traded in my 92 Toyota 3.0L 4x4 on the B4000 dual sport auto. The little things like switches, turn stalk, armrests, etc. are nicer in the 10 year old Toyota, but the Ford 4.0L is much smoother and nicer than the old 3VZ-E. The Mazda smooths out the bumps much better but has more body lean in the turns and I go a little slower on the onramps. I think the Tacoma is a better truck, but with the S plan purchasing program from work, and Mazdas incentives, the price was just too good to pass up.

  B4000 - Best in Class (in my opinion) - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By Chris M - November 30 - 10:00 am

  B4000 has lots going for it PRIMARILY the 4L 208HP, largest in class - greatest horsepower per dollar spent (w/ Ranger). Nissan “supercharged” engine is slightly larger, 210HP, but less responsive/slower & supercharged engine lacks towing/off road power. Challengers: Ranger, S10, Tacoma, Dakota & Frontier. Tacoma/Frontier only come in 4 full or 2 door models; no have ½ doors. Drives the cost up such that one may be better off looking at bigger trucks. Fun truck, lots of functionality & power, nice high ride, good visibility, shift on fly 4wld, large/cool tires w/ strong, elevated suspension, 4 doors & features (bed-liner, cover, bed extender).
