The Perfect GUV (golf utility vehicle)

2005 Mazda MPV LX 4dr Minivan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
3 of 4 people found this review helpful
I'm retired and the primary use for my vehicle is to take me and my buddies to and from golf. I've had a pickup for years, but decided I wanted something that would keep the clubs/carts inside and have the capability to carry more than 2 golfers in comfort. Tried several different SUV's and smaller station wagons but none had adequate cargo capacity for my needs. Tried some other minivans but they seemed too big or too pricey. Stumbled on the MPV and found it perfect at the right price!

2005 Mazda MPV ES 4dr Minivan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
5 of 9 people found this review helpful
Bought our MPV ES in Oct 2008 with 46,000 on it. It currently has about 114,000 on it and doesn't seem to be much different from when we bought it. To date, it has required relatively infrequent and minor fixes: a minor ($300) fuel thing (forgotten what precisely) at 90k, a small water pump leak at 108k.

I looked at every minivan on the market, and drove them all. The design, the build quality and the performance sold me on this van.Your report states that this car has a "clunky" transmission and a loud engine, I don't know what car you were testing, but my MPV shifts gears like silk, never had a smother shifting transmission.

Bought a white 2005 MPV new in spring of 2005. In the summer of 2009 my wife put a little ding in the rear bumper. We didn't get fixed because so much rust was already showing at the bottom of the doors and the wheel wells. It's 12 years old now and the dealer says it's so badly rusted it's no longer safe to put on the lift. I took it to Carmax to see what they'd give me for it and they quoted me $200 because of the condition of the body. While I'm sure that Mazda has improved the corrosion resistance of their cars I would never consider buying another car from them.
