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.

  MPV out-STANDS other minivans - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By AlbertC - May 6 - 10:00 am

  Looking for a car with a decent amount of room, cargo space, ground clearance at an unbeatable value, we landed on a 2003 Mazda MPV LX. This SUV look-a-like has great handling, space with a decent amount of power. taking long road trips can be a bit of a hassle with the seats;riding for more than an hour, you get a numb feeling in your rear. The rotten egg smell of the sulfur was there for a while but quickly vanished. Great minivan for a small family and an optional rear-air conditioning is a must!

  One solid family mover - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By X - March 21 - 10:23 am

  We bought this van new 3 years ago and 50K miles later we have had no problems. This is very refreshing after our last van, a 98 Windstar was one problem after another. Pick-up is adequate. It cruises down the highway very well.

  Excellent Choice for a Mini Van - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By Jo & DB - March 18 - 10:00 am

  We purchased the MPV approximately three weeks ago. At first, we thought the van would be too small for our three growing girls. We test drove some used vans. Also looked at the Nissan Quest but decided a little too much money for what we wanted. We decided to test drive the MPV. Instantly, we felt very comfortable and realized this would be adequate for our family. We were hooked. The van rides very smooth and the features included are great. Would recommend looking into the MPV.

  It just keesp running!! - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By Randy - February 15 - 3:33 am

  I bought this van brand new. Two deer have totaled out the front quarter, it is a little top heavy and dangerous on water, but for the most part if you put water tires on it that fixes the problem. I am upset that they discontinued the van.

  surprisingly fun to drive - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By bacrandell - February 4 - 10:00 am

  When we first test drove the Mazda MPV we were impressed with how it handled. The steering is responsive and the braking is quick. It didnt seem to roll as much in turns as one might expect a minivan to do. Now having driven for 6 months, we still enjoy it a great deal. It has made several long- distance trips in addition to the usual around town driving. It has sufficient power for passing on the freeway, and the steering feels tight in turns. It seems to have sufficient room for our little family. It feels quite safe and secure.

  Most for your money - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By zoompv - December 29 - 10:00 am

  At a price just below invoice,and with a $2000 rebate, this minivan beats any other for features, performance, and reliability for the money. Dont buy a Honda or Toyota or Chrysler without seriously considering the MPV.

  We love it! - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By Sbaron - September 28 - 10:00 am

  We have a LX MPV with rear air, roof rack, rear bumper cover. Traded a 95 Windstar (RIP). We love the MPV so far. Have 6000 miles. We keep finding reasons to go places so we can enjoy the road!

  Zoom zoom mpv mom - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By vanmommie - June 16 - 10:00 am

  The van really is easy to drive. Love the Moonroof, the windows that go down in the back. The tumble under seat for getting your stuff back there. Perfect height to side in and out. Not to big. Not a big brick in the wind.

  Great Handling - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By DuPont - May 29 - 10:00 am

  For a family of four this is the best minivan. The handling is more nimble than the other minivans we tested, including the Odyssey and (old) Sienna and accelerates very well. The interior is very well laid out and more spacious than the compact dimensions of the van would suggest. The price to feature ratio is great. It has features that other minivans dont have such as moonroof, slide down rear windows, and an excellent sound system.

  Excellent Choice for Family - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By tw - May 29 - 2:33 am

  We bought our MPV LX brand new in late 2002. 3 1/2 years and 80,000 miles later, we are still very happy with the van. It is smaller than Honda and Toyota minivans, and is just the perfect size for a family of 4. Originally my wife insisted on buying a minivan after our first child was born. I hesitated to be seen in a minivan. But we rented an MPV during a vacation and felt in love with the size and handling. We have only had one mechanical problem with a radiator hose during the 80,000 miles weve had the van. The problem occurred around 30,000 miles, and was fixed by the dealer (there was a bulletin on the issue). Other than that, it has been very reliable.
