What were your needs when you bought this car? Has it fulfilled those needs?
I bought it to tow a caravan. It did the job beautifully. It flow like a breeze. The fuel consumption towing a caravan just increases by 5%!
What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.
It is beautiful outside, functional inside. Its tray is not too high for me (160mm). The car reviews are very favourable. The price was reasonable.
What have you discovered since owning the car?
It is truly jinbaittai. It just goes the way you want. It can go very fast off the line from stand still.
What do you like/dislike about the car?
I regret selling the BT-50 to buy (ordered without a test drive) a 2022 New Ford Everest. Though the Everest got all the modern technology, powerful engine, It is no where to compare with the simple straight forward handling experience.
Any other comments on the car?
The Mazda is superb in the handling side while Ford enjoys comfortable side.

Lastly, would you buy this vehicle again?
No
Why would/wouldn't you buy it again?
I bought a 2022 Everest and I don't have more money to buy another BT-50. I don't know how good will be the new partnership of Mazda and Isuzu.
