Built for the long haul!
Bought the '90 MPV in '94 with 94,000 miles on it. It now has 203,000 with very few issues. I've had some really odd problems that were fairly easy to fix. 1. Lost all coolant once, (bad hose). 2. Snapped a timing belt just after replacement (tensioner pulley went south). 3. Distributer "module" died while traveling 65 mph. All issues after 150,000 miles. All of these were no big deal really. I wish they would have continued this style of MPV - I'd keep buying them without hesitation.
My favorite car!
This vehicle has lasted a very very long time, with little or no maintenance almost all years. We hate to replace it. If Mazda was still building the 4WD into its minivans, I'd get another!
Owned since New
We have had the van since the birth of our third son. I like it because it is a 5 speed and is very comfortable. We recently replaced the engine with 55800 miles (90000 km). I also prefer it to a new one because it has no airbags. It has been annually rustproofed and has little rust.
The best Mini Van ever made
I've owned many cars in my 30 years of driving. This car is the absolute best in reliability. With 144,000 miles I think this car will never die. I did all of the maintenance myself which was minor. Oil Changes, Spark Plugs, Brakes, a rear axle seal went at 33K, rear air shocks, alternator, battery, tires. This car has towed my 2500lb trailer every summer all over the northeast with no problems. I was sorry to see that Mazda decided to make it a front wheel drive in recent years. I have never gotten stuck in the snow even with just 2wd.
MPVs last forever!
With regular maintenance and care, I'm convinced that Japaneese built MPVs (not the new ones with the ford motors) will last virtually forever. Mine has never let me down in 10 yrs of active use. Best car I've owned (and I've owned about 15)! Highly recommended!
