  Great buy in the Minivan market - 2004 Mazda MPV
  By CPS - March 1 - 10:00 am

  The car looks great and is fun to drive. The new front grill really looks sporty and makes the car look more like a car and less like a minivan. Gas mileage has been good. This is the best buy in the Japenese import market. The van isnt as big as the Honda, but you do get a car like driving experience with the MPV and feel less like you are driving a minivan.

  Zoom, Zoom, Zoom! - 2004 Mazda MPV
  By Bonkey - January 12 - 10:00 am

  This mini van is very comfortable, and roomy enough for 7 adults to sit comfortably. The cargo hold is very versatile, as it features a flip down rear seat which allows the rear cargo space to be completely flat for transporting large objects. With the rear seat flipped up, the rear cargo hold becomes a nice sized pocket able to hold gracery bags steady for the trip home. Plenty of room for luggage, too. We took a car trip with 2 adults, and three teenage children, and we all fit into the car comfortably, including two pieces of luggage each!

  Great Van - 2004 Mazda MPV
  By Chris - December 7 - 3:26 pm

  I have over 65k miles on my van now and still love it. Yes the gear shift lever is in a bad place and can easily be knocked out of gear but overall I am greatly satisfied. The only problem we have had so far is the coil packs are prone to go out which can leave you stranded (happened to us). Fits my family of 4 just fine with room in the back for all our stuff.

  Mazda MPV - foreign car driving - 2004 Mazda MPV
  By Konrad - November 4 - 2:00 am

  This van drives and handles like a car. Very good acceleration and feeling of roominess inspite of smaller size gives you confidence that its size is just right. You simply do not need more.

  By E Solari - October 29 - 2:00 am

  This is our 3rd MPV. Ive been in the car business for 22 years and never bought a new vehicle until I went to work for Mazda. The MPV is very good looking and dependable but let me make a few suggestions. The traction control feature is a must if you live in a snow belt. If you want a power seat you must go to the ES model. If it were available in the Lx model I would give the vehicle all 10s. Transmission had to be reprogrammed but is fine now.

  Gear Shift - 2004 Mazda MPV
  By FosterBears3 - October 19 - 10:00 am

  We bought this van a month ago and we love it - the only thing that I see as a problem is that the gear shift is too big and the windshield wipers shift is on the same side. The gear shift should be smaller and the windshield wiper shift should be on the side where the lights are. Other than that it is a great van and would highly recommend it.

  Mazda MPV- Best Minivan- Period - 2004 Mazda MPV
  By jcarlson24 - October 5 - 4:26 pm

  Minivan for the sport family. We have 3 children who love the multiple positions of the rear seats, with 2 performance oriented adults driving. I recently hanged with a mustang and camaro at red light, how embarrassing for them!

  Rust problem - 2004 Mazda MPV
  By Sid - September 19 - 6:50 pm

  Very disappointed. We bought the van in 2005. The van was left over from 2004 model year. We discovered the car has rust in the hatch back area and in the passenger under the door. The car still under warranty. The dealer just informed me that they will be fixing the rust, but I will never buy another Mazda. My Toyota Camry is 10 years old and it does not have any rust. Planning to sell it after dealer fixes it.

  Happy Owner - 2004 Mazda MPV
  By R Travis - July 25 - 6:43 am

  The vehicle has been a pleasure to own and drive. Its smaller size has proven to be a great asset, both in driving and garaging it. It is very comfortable, fun to drive and the gas mileage is surprisingly good. Its insurance ratings are good too, so the insurance premiums are moderate. It is a well liked and welcome member of our family.

  This is our 2nd MPV. We bought new because the warranty is excellent. Good buy too compared to other minivans.
