nice car so far
I bought this a few months ago with 53,000 miles on it. Except for a vacuum hose which was expensive, it is serving us well. The vehicle is easy to handle because it is smaller but easy to adjust for different uses. Rear seat folds down into floor or you can flip it back for tailgating. Has a/c vents front and rear, seats 7 and is easy getting in and out. Have driven it back and forth across west Texas twice now and did what I asked it to do.
Had no other choice
My truck had been destroyed by a semi as I exited it to render aid to victims who had wildly crashed, just ahead of me. My mechanic just happened to have the 05 mpv that was for sale by another of his long time customers. We were waiting for repairs to what was to be third purchase. The mpv couldnt have cut line at a better time! With 140,000 it started it's career, with me, going 160 miles/day for work. Then the mpv is needed by our daughter with her three lads. She kept maintenance and even replaced the ac. If my daily driver wasn't a 2011 Cooper S the van would gladly be my daily driver.

The Perfect GUV (golf utility vehicle)
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!
Good value
Hauls both people and cargo quite well, Lots of storage areas, drink holders. A good value for everyday driving, work or play.
best van on market
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.
