Overview & Reviews

The MPV received a handful of changes for 2004 and moves into 2005 with only a few option package alterations.

• Manageable size, lots of interior storage, decidedly unminivan looks, roll-down windows in the sliding doors.

• Lacks the features, passenger/cargo space and power found in its competitors, noisy engine, clunky transmission.

  MPV Van - 2005 Mazda MPV
  By ksmemoore - December 24 - 6:23 pm

  The drivers seat is uncomfortable to me. I am a tall woman and the armrest is way too low for comfort. Seat will not lower down enough. The gas mileage is awful. Lots worse than we thought. At $3.50 a gallon we would prob. not have bought this van if we had known how bad it was going to be. It does seem to be reliable however and had some good features as far as lots of good seating to haul my kids and their friends around.

  sporty and fun in comfort - 2005 Mazda MPV
  By dan - November 11 - 8:46 pm

  The Mazda MPV is real easy to drive. It runs smooth and handles well. For instance making a U-turn is simple as well as parking. The acceleration is good. Overall the van is comfortable, spacious. I dont have any complaints.

  nice car so far - 2005 Mazda MPV
  By topcatken - June 5 - 10:34 pm

  I bought this a few months ago with 53,000 miles on it. Except for a vacuum hose which was expensive, it is serving us well. The vehicle is easy to handle because it is smaller but easy to adjust for different uses. Rear seat folds down into floor or you can flip it back for tailgating. Has a/c vents front and rear, seats 7 and is easy getting in and out. Have driven it back and forth across west Texas twice now and did what I asked it to do.

  The Perfect GUV (golf utility vehicle) - 2005 Mazda MPV
  By retiredgolfer - May 27 - 12:43 pm

  Im retired and the primary use for my vehicle is to take me and my buddies to and from golf. Ive had a pickup for years, but decided I wanted something that would keep the clubs/carts inside and have the capability to carry more than 2 golfers in comfort. Tried several different SUVs and smaller station wagons but none had adequate cargo capacity for my needs. Tried some other minivans but they seemed too big or too pricey. Stumbled on the MPV and found it perfect at the right price!

  great package - 2005 Mazda MPV
  By william montgomery - April 4 - 7:40 am

  Being an older couple with the desire to have a van and not be burdened by difficult driving with a large vehicle, the MPV we have is perfect. It can handle our family needs and is a pleasure to drive and park in our city environment. The external update for 2004 is really neat. Just enough "sass" to make it interesting.

  Great Minivan! - 2005 Mazda MPV
  By Loren Hanson - December 9 - 3:33 pm

  I was amazed at the excellent engine performance. The ride is great and the turning radius is almost as good as my Focus. It is by far, in my opinion, the best looking minivan. We use it for golf every week and its a perfect size for us. We have no complaints and feel that we got the right vehicle for us.

  My Mini Van - 2005 Mazda MPV
  By MePreshus - September 13 - 5:10 am

  I loved the Mazda MPV so much that I searched in 3 states before I found any used ones. I drove 200 miles to pick it up, and have never looked back. I have 4 kids and we all have plenty of room, and that includes 2 car seats. It was the look and the features of the MPV that had me hunting it after seeing a used one at a near by car lot (It was already sold. We will be trading it in unfortunately in about 6 months, but the good news is - it will be on another MPV. Kudos to Ford/Mazda.

  The Best - 2005 Mazda MPV
  By Wally Greer - August 22 - 9:53 am

  Tried to buy an 07 but found out Mazda quit importing these to the US. Bad mistake but my new 05 will do me fine. Mine was a dealer loaner and was like new. I put 250000 miles on my 94 MPV so I expect this one to do the same. This vehicle has everything in the same spot so there was no learning curve. Pulling a trailer is no problem. I use this for camping and everyday use, at 62" I find it roomy and very comfortable on long trips. The sticker said 25 mpg and I find this to be true even pulling a trailer. I get the same mileage in the city too. The middle seats are a snap to get out.
