1993 Mazda MPV V6 2WD review from North America

"One of the many crappyJapanese cars that have supposedly good quality"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Almost everything, in a one year period. I'm never buying a Japanese car ever again. Journalists and people brag about how good Japanese cars are and so I decided to buy an MPV as a second car. I sold it less than a year later. I've driven GM's since I got my driver's license and have never had problems with them. I had a Cavalier Station wagon before this and I loved it although it was getting old and I felt it was time to try a Mazda out since people have told me how great they are. Well wrong, don't buy this van, the V6 is slow and and extreme gas guzzler. My 2002 Chevy blazer has a bigger engine and gets better fuel economy than this piece of junk had. Also, someone backed into the bumper while we were inside at the store and when we came out, the bumper was cracked and some pieces were on the ground, and a mechanic friend of mine said that the guy couldn't have gone more than 4-6 MPH. And since it needed so many repairs, it would cost me hundreds of dollars. Let me just say that if you buy a GM, you pay less in repairs and even buying the car, and since they're winning all these quality awards, I just bought the new Grand Prix GTP and I love it.

General comments?

Japanese cars and an extreme waste of time, I'm sticking to my GM's, they at least know what quality is.
