2001 Mazda MPV LX review from North America
"An excellent alternative to the Honda Odyssey"
General comments?
New owner so can't comment on reliability.
Bought the MPV because I didn't want to wait for Honda.
Contrary to reviews, the 2.5 V6 is adequate and not all that noisy.
Initial quality is great, fit and finish are flawless to my eye. This is a very flexible, easy to live with mini van, a big step forward over the last generation Villager I owned.
Standard LX sound system sounds great.
