That is absolutely comical. Those so called Mazdas starting in 94, which are a rebadged Ford Ranger are unreliable garbage. Ford bought them because they were one of the best selling mini trucks and they wanted that piece of the market and the name. I love my Mazda PUs and have owned 6 of them during my lifetime. I have currently an 89 and 92 B2600 4x4s. If you see a B2300, B2500, B3000 or B4000, don't walk, run. That's a Ranger.
Jaguar? They absolutely went into the tank and became very unreliable after Ford bought them. Ford damaged the name brand of Jaguar horribly and slowly after purchasing them in 89. The brand name has went through major changes and is slowly starting to recover their reputation recently, and after Ford sold them in 08 or 09 I believe it was. Ask ANY Jaguar owner who knows about Jags, what they think of the brand while it was owned by Ford.

The Japanese version of the Mazda ROCKS... Bullet proof... The Ford version does not hold a candle to it! Been driving the B series for almost 20 years... cannot beat the Japanese version.. I will not own Ford version, period!
