2000 Mazda MPV DX review from North America
"This is the best minivan ever!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Spark plug was burnt and needed to be be replaced.
The audio system stopped working for no apparent reason.
The lever for the second row side by slide seat kept getting stuck.
General comments?
Handling was excellent for a van. It felt light and nimble, but still secure.
It was very comfortable, though the third row was hard on your knees, since it was so low.
My only main complaint was that the 2.5 engine seems a bit underpowered compared to other vans such as the 4.3 on my old Astro or the 3.5 on my current Sienna.
I loved this van, it was one of the most trouble free vehicles I have ever had, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good minivan.
