1994 Mazda MPV review from North America
"Not a true value, wish I had bought a Honda"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dome light at windshield was faulty.
Engine constantly knocks or pings.
Leather seats have not held up well.
General comments?
I paid $22,100 for the car new in
Savannah GA and feel it could have
maintained it's value better.
I chose the MPV since it had rear wheel
drive, but in fact it has been an under
performer with not enough horsepower
yet terrible gas consumption.
If I do not put Hi-Test Gasoline in it, it pings!
