2001 Mazda MPV LX review from North America
"Exceptional"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor, inexpensive gasket problem and 1st tune-up and brakes at 95,000 miles. Otherwise, nothing mechanical.
General comments?
Near perfect performance. We basically put nothing, but gas and oil into the vehicle for the first 95,000 miles and only logically expected maintenance since. The interior and exterior still look sharp and the engine runs like new. We anticipate driving the vehicle for a while longer.
We also love the 7-passenger capacity and fold into the floor and easily removable seating, but slightly smaller wheel-base and great visibility and handling as compared to other mini-vans.
