Overview & Reviews
Aside from a few new exterior colors, Mazda's MPV minivan is unchanged for 2006.
- Manageable size, lots of interior storage, decidedly unminivan looks, roll-down windows in the sliding doors.
- Missing the power and room of its closest competitors, lacking the latest safety hardware, noisy engine, clunky transmission, too much body roll to feel as sporty as Mazda claims.

Stands out from the crowd - 2006 Mazda MPV
By slickdealer - February 1 - 11:43 amIve only owned this vehicle for 4 months but so far, its been great. I love the size. Its not a tank (aka Odyssey/Sienna). I also like having a vehicle that isnt on every corner. The MPV really stands out from the crowd. Took it on a long trip this summer and it performed flawlessly. The interior doesnt have that cheap quality feel that some cars have. It feels solid.

Nice, Very Nice - 2006 Mazda MPV
By Family Guy - December 13 - 4:33 amTo me this vehicle represented a great deal. I wanted a Japanese made minivan since they last longer than other brands. I shopped price and options. Honda, Toyota, and Nissan, all had nice vans, but they would not move on price. Well Honda and Toyota were pretty much firm, Nissan came down a bit, but Mazda will give the best deal. My guess is the other vans are a bit larger so they are in more demand. Heck, this vehicle is loaded and I saved at least $10K as compared to the other brands. My 4 year old loves it.

Was Not Happy - 2006 Mazda MPV
By brandij - May 16 - 7:56 pmWell my mom had purchased this van a year prior with a new kid on the way I was excited to be a minivan owner. It was a really late night when they do those crazy specials at midnight!? I didnt test drive it because Ive been driving my moms for quite some time, got it home to notice that our van had NO REAR AIR!!! I couldnt believe they made vans without it! My moms came standard with it, didnt realize it was missing til the next morning when it was freezing cold taking our 2 young kids out!! Ive had to put fans in the back to just get by in the summer. It is brutal. I was very upset that the sales people sold it they had to know!! will never go back again!!!

Great Minivan - 2006 Mazda MPV
By Lee - July 23 - 2:20 amLoaded with features at an awesome price. 17" wheels, leather, moonroof, 6 disc CD changer, dual air, roll down rear windows, power sliding doors, and more. My gas mileage on the highway has been 26.5 mpg consistently. It is garageable in a single car garage.

You Can Get Em Cheap - 2006 Mazda MPV
By tabbss - June 6 - 7:36 amMy wife needed a minivan and didnt want the minivan looks. We rented a MPV and liked it. We test drove the Quest and Sedona. Both of those had interior parts fall off during our test drives. Saw a new MPV in an ad at a local dealer for $15,488. Heavy rebates and dealer took off another $1K for Mazda financing. Cant beat the price and runs great. The dealers want to get rid of these so you can get them for a steal if you can find them.

Great Van for the dollar. - 2006 Mazda MPV
By David Vega - May 25 - 1:26 pmMy wife and I thought we would never purchase a minivan. We both have SUVs, a Land Cruiser 95 and Land Rover Disco 97. Now we have a son, with the car seat in the back it is a little cramped. The person sitting next to the car set just doesnt have room. Both SUVs have the 3 row sets still not comfortable. We look at all the vans only the MPV, Honda and Toyota were considered. Well, we got the MPV black sport with side air bags and rear air. No auto sliding doors. WOW great ride, excellent van. Acceleration. Drives like a car. Only got 7k on it so far. Only problem, at the port where the MPV came in, factory options are put in. During the roof rack install, screw installed wrong, leaked. New headliner required.
