    Mazda B-Series

    EPA MPG: NA

    RECALL ALERT:
    There are 3 recalls on this vehicle. Learn More.

    First Take
    The B-Series, a clone of the Ford Ranger, never lets you forget you're driving a truck. Handling is fairly responsive, but the ride is stiff and choppy. The 3.0-liter V6 is pleasant enough and adequately powerful. An overhead-cam 4.0-liter V6 and a 2.3-liter four-cylinder are also available. A smooth-shifting five-speed automatic is available across the line. Extended-cab models offer two small rear-hinged doors, but the rear seat is fit only for cargo, not people. The front seats are thinly padded and mounted too low. A crew-cab model isn't offered.
