Overview & Reviews

The MPV has been completely redesigned from top to bottom. Several unique features, like hinged rear doors and all-wheel drive, have disappeared. At the same time, items like roll-down windows in the sliding doors and tailgate seating in the third-row seats certify the MPV as a standout vehicle.

• Some innovative features, excellent road feel and driving position, optional sound system rocks.

• Weak and unrefined drivetrain, not as roomy as Grand Caravan, Odyssey or Windstar.

  Basic requirements - 2000 Mazda MPV
  By NOMOREMPV - February 1 - 2:00 am

  It has stylish and roomy features, which attract most consumers. Those are reasons led me make a no smart choice. In just 4 years, check engine lighting is on, so I put my van to dealer shop. They said the engine might be damaged and replaced immediately with new one or sell it. I assumed most recent car might have little problem in power train, even in engine. Also, before buying this car, I was informed van transmission has poor rating, but I thought it could be ignorable, but I realized the meaning of poor rating by auto specialists through this Mazda van.

  Good All Around Mini-Van - 2000 Mazda MPV
  By kazman - December 26 - 10:00 am

  The smaller size just seemed like a better fit to my wife and I. It is very stylish and full of clever little features. It does have some flaws but so doesnt every vehicle.

  Unhappy Ride - 2000 Mazda MPV
  By walterlee - June 20 - 2:00 am

  Bought this MPV (2000 model)after putting 160,000 miles on a 1990 MPV- I liked both ride and durability of the 1990 better than the 2000!! Transmission jumpy, engine warning light goes on and off without reason, small socket wrench was found inside engine compartment- obviously left behind at the assembly plant- and the ride is stiff and uncomfortable.

  Wanted to Try a Mini Van - 2000 Mazda MPV
  By jaenderby - May 7 - 10:00 am

  I really like the looks and the size of my MPV. However, the pick up is slow and the rear windows make a funny wind tunnel noise. My closest dealer, Cook Mazda is unresponsive. My previous car was a Ford Taurus with over 162,000 miles and I felt the dealerships were superior to Mazda. Dont believe everything they tell you about foreign cars.

  Great Van - 2000 Mazda MPV
  By Jake - April 25 - 2:13 pm

  Van is very dependable. After 140K miles, still runs great. Issues are sluggish engine, cheap sliding door handles (both broke, one side twice). Only maintenance is shocks/struts, air filter and fluid changes. Check engine light for air intake sensor but I never fixed it and never and had issues after 60k miles!

  I like it - 2000 Mazda MPV
  By NYer - July 18 - 1:20 pm

  Its a nice looking car, fun to drive, roomy enough for 7 people. My problem is that I had to change all shocks and front tires after less than 33k miles.

  No Title - 2000 Mazda MPV
  By Terri1191 - July 12 - 10:00 am

  I am very happy with it and would consider purchasing another one. Really wanted the Mazda SUV, but it wasnt available at the time. The only problems that I have are the power and gas mileage. It has a hard time making it up some of the hills in the area. And, the gas mileage is terrible. Other than that, I am pleased.

  We love our 2000 MPV. the only downside is the small engine. Everything else is flawless.

  Great minivan! - 2000 Mazda MPV
  By moonkitty - July 6 - 2:00 am

  This has been a great van for us. Have the towing package. Pull the boat or the camper with no problem. Seems to have enough power although in Poconos on the hills a bit slower. The 3rd seat is great because it folds down. Also the ease in taking out one or two seats in the second row. With 3 kids we take out 1 seat in the second row to pack all our stuff and have even taken out both seats and have so much space.

  Wish Mazda 9 were imported - 2000 Mazda MPV
  By Ken - May 19 - 6:26 pm

  Bought this van new, fully loaded for about 25,500. No significant problems. Approaching 100,000 mi. Starting to look for new people mover. MPV is still being made in Japan under Mazda 9 badge. Unfortunately, Ford is trying to get you to buy higher priced Flex, and forced Mazda to drop import. Nothing else on market carries the easy handling, small size, multiple flexibility, and comfortable ride. I still get compliments on the smooth ride.
