1992 Mazda MPV review from North America
"Treat it well and it will serve you for many years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cooling fan belt broke after a year of driving. Costs $50.00
Replaced timing belt at 110,000km. Costs $150.00.
AT 155,000km replaced the timing belt again because a water pump leak damaged the timing belt. Costs $300.00.
General comments?
The previous owner kept the van in good shape.
I performed the oil change myself at every 4000km.
Replaced antifreeze every 30,000km.
We have a lot of snow in the winter (Canada). My van is rear wheel drive and is very slipper in the winter.
Compare with my 91 Honda accord, gas mileage is not very good.
I don't take my van to the deal, they charged a lot of money for the service. I have an in-law that owned a repair shop and I take van there for service.
This van is slow at pickup, but stable on the highway.
