do not buy this vehicle. they are money pits. the coil packs go out in all of them over and over again. the pvc hoses always crack in them, the power door cables break in them, and the newest problem is the radio, interior lights, and power doors quit working and none of the fuses are blown. noone knows how to fix the newest problem. these vehicles are built to fail and to be a money pit.

Wow -- I am only 28 and I never thought of owning a van, but after test driving the MPV on a track at the Mazda Rev It Up event, I was in love with it!! I bought an ES with the GFX package which comes with a body kit carbon fiber interior trim and fog lights. I also have the power dual sliding doors ans six disc in-dash CD changer. Most people think the MPV is an SUV and I have been asked numerous times by bystanders as to what type of vehicle it is. I think the MPV is so under-rated and you never see any on the road. This van is so comfortable and handles like a sports car -- I don't think I will ever buy a car again! ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!!

I bought this new in 2003 and it has been a good investment. I've had to replace the radiator, two coils and that's about it. I really researched this purchase and knew exactly what I wanted. At the time, dual sliding doors was unique. The 5 star safety rating was nice too. I've got to say that the body styling is still timely and doesn't look dated in the least. I got the white and coupled with the fact that I always keep my vehicles looking their best, she still instills pride of ownership everytime I approach. I did find a little rust on the sealing seam of the right sliding door but a light sanding followed with a dab of white POR 15 and problem solved. I do shoot WD40 or something similar with the red straw up into the door drain holes. After the initial engine breaking, I've only run full synthetic oil changed every 10,000 miles. The AC has always been very reliable in fact, I've never driven the van without it on. There's an AC vent right where I usually have my right hand on the steering wheel. I soon found out that it would turn my hand numb from the cold. I almost think you could preform surgery on my hand without nova cane. I am tempted by all the great safety features new vehicles have, hybrid looks way cool too but let's face it, Old Nelly Belle is paid for and barring any unforeseen component failure, I'm going to drive her forever.

Quiet engine Smooth tranny shifts excellent acceleration gets to freeway speed seamlessly Does NOT feel like a mini-van Very carlike ride & feel Reversing & sharp turns felt very easy HUGE moonroof I could stand side facing through it with plenty of shoulder room, crisp audio sounds FM & CD Excellent visibility blind spot checks were a breeze due to the BIG slider windows which sit low Big side view mirrors HUGE windshield. The RPMs were impressive:700 rpm from idle till 50 mph. At freeway speeds they still stay below 2K.

Comfortable on long trips. Good seating position reduces fatigue. The automatic side sliding door make putting an infant in the car much easier. Good handling. Good looks for a minivan. The interior is simple with good fit and finish. I drove a 1889 MPV to 210,000 mile with few problems. It was a rare 5 speed, manual transmission. I got 170,000 mile out of the original clutch. I hope the new one will repeat this reliability.
