Any reviews on Mazda BT 50 Series ??

[currymegood]

Right now my pocket is leaning towards this Vehicle but the 4*2 MODEL.
Does anyone have any input on this series??

get the ford, the interior is them same and the ford has the newer engine, the mazdas have the old engine, pretty much the same van

^^ ghostbusters......what's the price range of the ranger ? btw showroom price if you have any idea

2010 Ford Ranger XL 4X2 Double cab $159,650.00, come with the same WL 2.5T intercooled engine as the mazda BT50, driver side air bag, and ABS, fully powered, 5 speed manual transmission, factory CD/MP3 deck.

yup, i hav one, its ok, the turbo lag is noticeable tho, i think there was less turbo lag on the WLT.

mazda bt-50 have better resale value and less technical since it has a much less sophisticated diesel engine. If its a work van then mazda bt-50 ftw! Cyar go rong

yea, i know someone who said the bt50 feels and responds faster than the hilux, but remember the hilux has an electronic throttle set to save fuel, the ranger top shelf model too, it responds slower than the mazdas with the older model engine and cable throttle system
