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.

  MPVs Rock - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By Manrep - December 25 - 10:00 am

  I bought a new MPV in Nov 2002. It has been terrific. I am a manufacturers rep, So I drive a lot!!!!! Got the idea to get one from my employer, who has one with 100k on it. It has been flawless for him too. Pretty good performance, Just the right size. I practically live in mine. I dont think there is a better minivan for the money.

  My Perfect Van - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By nick123 - October 25 - 2:00 am

  I bought the van for my wife, but I find myself always driving it. We got the LX with all the options. The only drawback is the interior noise, it can be loud when its windy. Other than that, its a great van for the price.

  Nicely Built, Great Looks, Right Size - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By movellan - August 23 - 2:00 am

  After 2 weeks of extensive research we settled on the Mazda MPV. We dont particularly like MiniVans, and did not like the idea of driving a dinasour like Odissey. Yet again we needed 7 seat capacity. We really liked the looks and the relatively small size of the MPV. The consumer report ratings are great and since the Odyssey seems to be so popular, Mazda dealers are really willing to bargain.

  What a great little van! - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By Ventura Highwayman - July 31 - 2:00 am

  I love this van! Its quick and nimble, solidly built, and has great features! I looked a the Honda and Toyota and just couldnt justify the $8,000+ cost difference. Im very, very happy with this vehicle and would buy another in an instant!

  mpv lx 2003 - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By alan p - July 12 - 2:00 am

  everything in this van works and looks well. the smaller size is what makes this model work for me. when alone i drive aggressive and need the smaller size to maneuver in traffic. when driving with four in the van it is comfortable and well mannered. i drove with six in the van once for 150 miles and nobody complained and the van handled well and braking was excellent. my review takes in to consideration of the value factor, with the discounting with rebates by the dealer. decent lx package for less than 21k.

  We love our MPV - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By lazyfox - June 25 - 10:00 am

  We wanted first to get a used Odyssey, but discovered MPV. We did the research and decided to get it. Drives like a normal car (actually words of our friend who had driven it, she drives VW Golf ; -) ). Enough power, it might downshift more often when going uphill vhen loaded, but it still has enough power not to lag behiond traffic. Easy parking with its smaller size. Have a 8k on the van now and except for that fog light recall we had no problems.

  Best kept secret!!!! - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By Richard Roy - May 25 - 2:00 am

  I owned a MPV 1991 before. For my next van, seat management was hign on my list. There are only 2 models with the third row folding in the car (wonder why they dont all have this feature). In my case, the Odyssey was too big. I park the van in my garage. There is one area of concern which is the motor. So far, Im please with the Ford Duratech performance. Maybe they can spend some time about reducing fuel consumption.

  Happy After 3 years, 33K Miles - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By Lynda Marie - May 22 - 8:30 am

  Very happy w/ van. Not a single mechanical issue. I dont find the tranny shifter an issue, I use it as a guide for the radio (over) and the a/c (under). Plenty of power in CO mountains, yet decent mileage. Excellent (!) on snow & ice w/ new tires (who needs 4WD unless you need clearance?). Good on long trips. Size is big enough for lots of kids and stuff, but small enough to park almost anywhere. Handling better than expected from a minivan. Leather seating is easy to clean. Kids like their own heating/ac controls. Would buy another one if I "crunched" this one.
