Overview & Reviews
For 2003, power sliding doors are an option for both the LX and ES trim levels. A towing package and a cargo organizer are two other new options. Also, an alarm and engine immobilizer are now part of a security package, and a cassette player is available on the ES trim level. The LX trim now rides on 16-inch wheels. Inside, floor and cargo mats are now standard on both trim levels, while outside, you'll see a new exhaust tip.
- Compact and maneuverable, confident handling manners, roll-down windows in the sliding doors.
- Limited maximum cargo capacity, lacks some features found in the other minivans.

Great van - 2003 Mazda MPV
By medicineman - December 15 - 10:00 amWith 2 growing kids we needed more room than our Altima had to give. We looked at all the minivans rated with good reliability and it was down to this or the Honda. The Honda dealers wont deal at all and the Oddity was bigger than I wanted. It looked like it wouldnt fit in the garage very well. The MPV is the perfect size. The 200 HP engine is very responsive for a van. It handles great, you almost forget it is a minivan.

Zoom,Zoom,Zoom - 2003 Mazda MPV
By loconn11 - November 26 - 10:00 amI now have the sports van since April 29th. I have 600 miles on her. I am dying to take a long distance drive but it rains here in the northeast every weekend. I paid $21,300 for the LX. The ride is solid and so far the transmission feels SUVie (I guess since it is from the Tribute) Excellent acceleration and handling. It is a sharp looking vehicle and I am frequently stopped and asked questions. Considering all the other minis are around 30K this is a great value.

2003 MPV is fun AND functional - 2003 Mazda MPV
By mkxlh883 - September 2 - 10:00 amIf you are looking for a stylish FUN minivan packed with practical creature comforts and some kick, then grab one of the 2003 MPVs. We opted for the ES with several more options including the GFX package, which transforms the MPV into a real eyecatching vehicle. We compared this to the Honda minivan, and found the MPV to have soul, better handling and was an overall better value.

Good job Mazda - 2003 Mazda MPV
By tassak - August 28 - 10:00 amConsidered Sienna, and Odyssey finally decided on the MPV for many reasons. Its smaller size is perfect for big city traffic, drives more like a car, and the new beefier engine is outstanding. Would highly recommend it, especially over Sienna and Odyssey since the owners of those have been posting many problems they have had with poor Customer Support (a definite no no).Buy it, youll be amazed.

5 yrs & 50K miles - 2003 Mazda MPV
By Lynda Marie - August 27 - 4:43 pmBought new and still love the van. None of the problems some others on this site seem to have; just new tires, oil changes and recommended maint. Still getting 20 mpg in town and about 25-26 hwy. (Yes, I do drive it nicely - most of the time.) Excellent size for running around town and adequate storage space for trips.

I lost my Manhood to Mazda - 2003 Mazda MPV
By A Man with a Van - July 22 - 10:00 amYea, well, my reputation is wrecked. Last Mazda I owned was an RX-7. Now this - a mini-van! I bought this minivan cause I loved it! I was suprised by the engine zip. Style is right, too. Keep in mind that Honda and Toyota dealers are stuck-up.

I RENTED IT AND IT BLEW ME AWAY!!! - 2003 Mazda MPV
By George Sanidas - July 16 - 10:00 amI rented a minivan to transport my family (wife and three children) to Syracuse, NY. I did not know the type of minivan I was going to get but expected a Windstar. We ended up with a Mazda MPV ES. I LOVED driving this minivan. My other car is a BMW. Guess what? Im in love all over again!!!

You must try one. - 2003 Mazda MPV
By Don Ehrismann - July 4 - 2:00 amThis is a great mini-van value for the buck. It is just the right size for a smaller family. It is easy to park, gets good mileage, is fun to drive. It is one of two new autos I have bought new, and have had nothing go wrong with it. It has many features that other 2003 models didnt have. Fold and tumble rear seat, that folds down in a well to be out of the way when not needed. Roll down side door windows, for air during mild weather. It is fun to drive, and very nimble, just right for in town parking and getting into smaller areas. Its quality shows throughout, and it is very reliable.

The best - 2003 Mazda MPV
By Judy Petrozzelli - June 8 - 10:00 amIve never owned a Mazda before but so far I love this van. Its perfect because its not to big and it drives like a regular car yet it has the room for seven passangers. It has a beautiful exterior and the driving is very smooth. My husband and I did a lot of research and chose the MPV because of its ratings.
