1994 Mazda B3000 3.0
Summary:
There isn't anything better than this!
Faults:
Radiator went at 300000.
Water pump went at 125000, and again at 400000.
Dash lights went out at 200000.
Gas gage stopped working at 450000.
General Comments:
Excellent vehicle.
Would recommend it to everybody.
Over 1/2 a million kilometers, and it still runs like a charm.
Would gladly buy another.
The only thing really to complain about is trying to replace the dash light; they are almost impossible to get at.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Wow! What a response!
Please note that I said Emergency Brake not regular brake.
The emergency brake is for parking, engine off, only and I am certain it is engaged every time I wish to.
As far as the manual transmission, the gears engage properly every time, otherwise, the truck would not move. What happens is that 1st and Reverse gear do not engage smoothly unless others a chosen first. If you have any idea of how a manual transmission works, you would have no fear.
Finally, I trust my thorough knowledge of these two systems more than a mechanic whom I do not know and who likely doesn't care about safety or me, as much as I do.
I am dubious about most mechanics ethics and pride of work and this comes after many years of experience. I am 63 years old and have been often disapointed. I also read my service manual.
Relax, all is well.
