Better than minivan
Mpv proves to be acceptable alternative to the dreaded minivan. Of all the new cars I have purchased, I was the most sceptical of the MPV. It has proven to be very reliable and the high clearance and 4 wheel drive makes New England travel easy. I actually prefer driving this more than my '04 Volvo XC90.
THE SINGLE MOM'S CAR OF THE YEAR
GREAT DURABLE AUTO, ZERO MECHNICAL ISSUES, EASY REPLACEMENT PARTS, LOVE THE REAR SEAT HOW IT IS SO VERSITAL, VERY ACCOMODATING. LOVE RECLINING CAPABILITIES,EASY TO WASH & KEEP CLEAN. LOVE THE A/C FEATURES
Mazda MPV
This vehicle was purchased because of its potential in comparison to the current suv's. After owning and driving it for 2 years and finding the depreciation very deflating, I also find the vehicle to be very disappointing. While the room that it boasts of is indeed at first a seller, when you actually utilize it you see that it is more of a mirage. The rear seat does come out easily for extra room but when it comes to folding it down for the space it is bulky. Would I purchase this vehicle again? Not likely. I would probably spend the extra money on the real deal instead of putting good money down the drain.
My Family's Experience with the MPV
We leased this car in April 1998. We liked that it was a hybrid (not a minivan and not a truck). My kids liked the two captains chairs in the middle row and that they reclined. When one was tired, they could lie across the back seat. However the ride wasn't very smooth and the handling wasn't very secure.
