2003 Mazda MPV LX review from North America
"Simply the best"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing.
General comments?
AS a former Plymouth fan, I was hard pressed to even think about buying a vehicle from another manufacturer. Now that I've driven my MPV, I'd never go back. There is simply no comparison.
This van has everything you could want. Lots of pickup, great handling, comfort and space galore, thanks to the fold-away rear seat.
Recently, I drove my MPV from Ontario to my home town in Nova Scotia, a distance of about 4500 km round trip. Even though we drove through some of the worst weather imaginable, I was extremely secure and at ease driving in this vehicle.
All in all, I would say that it is the best investment I've ever made.
