2006 Mazda B-Series

This compact pickup is a Ford Ranger with a Mazda nameplate and minor exterior differences. The ride is stiff and choppy, but the steering is relatively responsive. The extended cab with its four doors is a worthwhile option for the extra luggage space it brings, but not even children will be happy for long in the small jump seats. 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. Handling is relatively good. The B Series was discontinued after 2009.

About Mazda

Most Mazdas are affordable, fun to drive, and look good inside and out. Many of its crossovers, SUVs, and sedans have earned Consumer Reports’ recommendations and above-average reliability ratings. Used Mazdas are usually a good option for an affordable pre-owned car. Mazda’s two- and three-row SUVs, identified by CX in the name, are consistently near the top of our ratings. Some Mazdas are available as plug-in hybrids that are capable of useful amounts of electric-only driving range. Most Mazdas achieve solid, but not exceptional fuel economy. Though sports cars are less popular now than decades before, Mazda still sells the MX-5 Miata, one of the best of the few remaining enthusiast cars.
