2001 Mazda MPV LX review from North America
"Would definitely buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong at this time, only routine maintenance necessary, and brake pads & shoes replaced once.
General comments?
This van has exceeded my expectations. I bought it from a dealership, the previous owner was a major car rental chain that had the van serviced every 30 days.
Gas mileage for this van has been 20 in the city, about 28 to 32 on the highway, with the air running.
Acceleration has been quick and easy to handle, no trouble getting on or off exits in tough traffic.
The flip down rear seat is a true bonus, only use it when you need it, and no taking out the seat to store it in a garage if you don't want it.
Comfortable seating, and the ability to slide the captain's chairs over to make a bench seat in the middle is great.
