Overview & Reviews
Not much changes on Mazda's minivan. Keyless entry is standard on MPV LX, and the AM/FM/CD/cassette audio system is standard on LX and ES models. Child safety-seat anchors have been added to all MPV models, as have new exterior color choices. The 2.5-liter V6 engine now complies with NLEV emissions standards.
- Roomy interior, versatile seating configurations, sharp exterior styling, agile handling, good visibility.
- Weedy engine, unimpressive interior materials, no traction control available, limited maximum cargo capacity.

Great Minivan - 2001 Mazda MPV
By trigman - January 26 - 10:00 amI think that Mazda has made an excellent minivan. My only problems with it were minor sample defects that the dealer fixed satisfactorily. I think that it has appropriate power, but I wish it would get better mileage. (It is a trade-off!)

Not a bad van - 2001 Mazda MPV
By RDW - July 11 - 7:00 amNo major problems in nearly three years. Dealer service is good. The MPV is not a street racer but it gets around OK in the flatlands of the southeast. Gas mileage is not that good.

Mazda MPV worked out great - 2001 Mazda MPV
By j brabham - June 22 - 10:00 amIve been very happy with my MPV purchase. It has served me and my family well on long road trips. Yhe fold down 3rd seat and power rear window really come in handy and I have not had one major or minor repair in the last 3 years. I would recommend this vehicle.

Small yet roomy, Sporty yet functional - 2001 Mazda MPV
By DebChar - April 7 - 10:00 amWed been looking for a new car for a while. Was looking at the 2002 MPV, but couldnt afford the sticker for the ES. Wanted all the extras, so compromised the 2002 and got the ES 2001 new loaded with the extras I wanted at a price I could manage. (Anything was an improvement over my 4 Cylinder 4-door grandam.) Really needed something larger for a family of five, car seats and stroller. It does the trick nicely. The kids can pick and choose where they like to sit and I can separate them easily. I like the well in the back for groceries when the seat is up. Fun to drive. Not just another mini van.

The little van that could - 2001 Mazda MPV
By Zapped - April 6 - 11:20 amHave had the vehicle now for 4 years. We have had very few problems with it. Overall, its quiet, responsive, and fun to drive. Been in other vans, and this is miles ahead of the others. No regrets!

By Golfbum - February 25 - 2:00 amI bought my van used and have had it for about 1 yr now. van is ok but my wife would like it to have the power slide doors and little stonger engine. My advice buy a Honda if you got the money and can find one, if not make the mazda your second choice

Our best vehicle ever - 2001 Mazda MPV
By Constantin - January 26 - 3:40 amMazda MPV was $10k cheaper then Honda. We bought it and never regret it. Oil, brakes, battery and tires those are four things I ever touched. Never failed. Nothing. Nada. Just put a gas and drive. 120k miles and still driving like it just been taken from a dealers lot. We raised 2 of our kids with this car. We have been to 14 states with our MPV. Best minivan ever.

Great Minivan - 2001 Mazda MPV
By rstar - November 12 - 2:00 amWeve been having fun with our van since we got it. Perfect for a family of 4 and when you need to bring some frinds along just lift the third seat out of the floor.

Great minivan - 2001 Mazda MPV
By kristi - April 14 - 10:00 amIve had this minivan for almost 2 years now and Ive been very pleased with it. Only one minor problem fixed under warranty the same day, no other mechanical problems at all. Even though I have the 2001 version with the supposed "under-performing" engine, Ive had no issues with the performance at all. The gas mileage could be a little better but otherwise I have no complaints. I get compliments on it all the time, even though its not brand new anymore.

Mazda MPV DX - 2001 Mazda MPV
By consumerlori - March 2 - 10:00 amHandles well, smooth ride, Some options are "worthless", like the visor mirrors and the tray under the passenger seat. The rear folding seat is a nice convenience as are the center removable seats, this gives many options for packing & day to day use. Leg room for the center and rear seats is tight. For the most part its a fun car, ZOOM ZOOM!
