2002 Mazda MPV LX review from North America
"Great family vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light is currently on.
General comments?
I have not had to touch a thing on this vehicle. The check engine light did recently come on. I changed the air filter and will attempt to reset the light and see if it stays on.
It is an excellent vehicle for a family of 4 or 5. I bought the van used 2.5 years ago for a low price and have been very satisfied with its convenience, maneuverability, and quality.
Gas mileage is below what I expected, but few vans are good.
The brakes do click after reversing, but there is a fix for this. It is not a problem, just an annoyance.
