2009 Mazda B2300 consumer reviews

Bought this truck in July 2013 with 26,000 miles on it. I have had absolutely no problems with it yet. It has been extremely reliable in my experience. I often haul tools and landscape equipment. You can definitely feel a difference when you load it down, but don't let that fool you into thinking that this isn't a great work truck. So far it has been extremely efficient, I have been averaging 29 miles per gallon. I have the 2.3L engine, which really lacks any kind of power once you get up to interstate speed but is impressive for its size at lower speeds (would like to have tried out the 4 liter engine). Can ride a little bumpy at times but not too bad. The interior is even more simple than the exterior, and there isn't much room in the cab. It is enough for me though and is comfortable. Overall I would definitely recommend this truck for anyone who wants to haul small equipment and doesn't mind sacrificing power for reliability.

Bought one of the last 2010's in 2011. 4cyl 5Sp is great for commuting and trips to Home Depot. With incentives purchase Price NEW was 10K less than chev/toy/nissan and 20k less than a F150. Not the truck i would have bought based on emotion, but a great value that made sense. After 2 years it has been solid and reliable. The ride is stiff, but not bad. Fully recommend it if you want value for money and don't need to show off with the latest and greatest.

Ok truck not much bells and whistles and not much power but what'd you expect. Bad part is how much the truck value depreciates after a couple of years, they don't hold their value at all they pretty much drop in half. Bought mine new in 08 for 14k, can barely get 7k with super low miles. Trying to trade it in at a dealer is a joke as well. I guess I'll just keep it.
