The ford ranger based pickups are junk. When Mazda made them, they were bulletproof.

They're good, iff you like:

- the door chime going off constantly, even when the door is closed. You could drive around all day hearing "DING DING DING DING DING DING"

-the wipers working whenever they want to and at whatever speed. you could be driving down the street, and your wipers automatically come on at full speed, you windshield nozzles spray your windshield, and you constantly trying to turn them off.

-besides the transmission shifting like crap, they're also weak. My dad's clutch went out with <15K miles, and it always made a weird grinding sound afterwards.

my sister's boyfriend just bought a '92 Toyota truck with 140K miles (it's still a baby by Toyota standards), for $1K. It looks beat up, but it runs like new.
