  Dont buy it! - 2003 Mazda Truck
  By Mazda03 - January 16 - 2:00 am

  This is the second Mazda pickup that I bought. It will be the last! A good friend of mine sells these trucks. If not for the good deal, Id be worse off. These trucks DO NOT HOLD THEIR VALUE. Stay away. You wont even be able to trade them in. Not great on gas and has poor performance. Also, it is the worst vehicle that Ive ever driven on wet or snowy roads. I never thought Id say it, but if you want a small truck, buy a Ford or Chevy. They actually hold their value better. I paid $16,000.00 for a 2003 and was offered $5,000.00 on a trade from the dealer that I bought it from. And, my truck is clean. Never again!

  Not Happy - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By MJF - January 14 - 2:00 am

  I am not happy with this truck. A week after I bought it, it had to be returned to get 4 new tires. It runs really rough, at a stop it vibrates the cab. I have brought it back to the dealer and they didnt feel anything was wrong. I will probably trade in soon.

  GoodLittle Truck - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By bushdow - December 18 - 10:13 pm

  I purchased this truck September 2002. The gas mileage could be a little better (17 mpg) The truck is high for better road view. The engine could use a little more HP for merging traffic situations.

  Is it the truck or the N. E. weather? - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By Pleiadian7 - November 19 - 10:00 am

  Mazda/Fords truck design is OBSOLETE. I bought this 2002 because Id had 2 Mazdas previously and they were pretty decent. THIS one had a clutch master cyl. go bad as soon as I got it. Access to the rear cab space is poor. The engine is so detuned as to be ball- less. However, the worst problem is the severe undercarriage corrosion which has destroyed the brakes/brake lines and has caused me to need to buy a new truck. New England winters and road chemicals are tough but I think the degree of damage is still pretty serious. No more Mazdas for me. I bought a Nissan.

  1st truck Wow - 2003 Mazda Truck
  By SunburstRed B2300 Tr - October 10 - 10:16 am

  I bought this truck new in AZ, no trouble with a/c, cold even at +117 degrees! Its a stick: could use more zip doing mountains, fine if you dont get stuck behind a slow truck and have to accelerate from 30 mph on 6000ft grade. Moved to Indiana, heater warms quickly, far less traction problems than full size van I drove. Not one mechanical problem, piled it high for move, over 2500 miles, very stable in winds, rain; good fuel economy with the extreme gas prices. Very nice turning ratio, good visibility overall.

  Great Truck - 2003 Mazda Truck
  By mazdawg03 - September 29 - 3:53 pm

  First the cons; small for those over 6, fuel economy is lacking for a small v6, DS should come standard with a limited slip and tow package, should have 6spd manual (mileage and towing would benefit), horrible Goodyear Wrangler GT/Ss that come on it, a more Mazda/less Ford interior would be nice, seats are too firm for long trips(pad fixes this) . Now PROS; RELIABILITY, RELIABILITY, RELIABILITY, did I mention its been reliable? Only issue in 78,xxx + was a sensor @ 5k that was replaced under warranty with no qualms. Paint still looks new, front brakes lasted for 50k, clutch is still great, engine still peppy (although more power would be great). Great deal considering cost vs other ops.

  Just simply a great little truck! - 2003 Mazda Truck
  By da_funk - August 10 - 10:00 am

  I have had my B4000 for a year now and I cant say enough good things about it. After I did a few things such as performance exhaust, K&N filter, raised the torsion bars, tinted front windows, and a Tornado (not sure about that one...but hey, why not give it a try...), the truck runs and looks great! From road trips to 4-Wheeling in Moab, this thing does it all. I am finally getting about 18 MPG HWY which I think is acceptable...but still not great. Plus, I had to put all that junk in to get it....but the power is there so I cant complain! Definitely a solid alternative to anything out there!

  Good to go! - 2003 Mazda Truck
  By LPC - June 8 - 10:00 am

  2002 Mazda B3000 4X4 - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By rideayeti - April 27 - 10:00 am

  Excellent truck! A little underpowered with the 3.0 liter engine, but the tradeoff is a consistent 22-23 mpg. Great styling, well built, economical vehicle.

  A Great Little Big Truck - 2003 Mazda Truck
  By Engrteam - April 21 - 10:46 pm

  This vehicle has been a great vehicle. Not only does it have a sporty look but it has the power and versatility you would expect in such a vehicle. I have hauled mountains of wood pellets, sheet rock and other building materials. I have no need for a bigger truck. Dont be afraid to try the manual transmission. Put the money somewhere else.
