Overview & Reviews
Mazda adds power to the MPV in the form of a 200-horsepower V6 engine governed by a five-speed automatic transmission, which is just what the doctor ordered for this previously underpowered minivan. The MPV also gains power-sliding doors, available 17-inch alloy wheels, traction control, an improved braking system and revised suspension tuning.
- Compact and maneuverable, confident handling manners, roll-down windows in sliding doors.
- Limited maximum cargo capacity, lacks some features found in the other minivans.

zooming around - 2002 Mazda MPV
By zoomingaround - November 14 - 10:00 amTest drove 6 vans on the market and the Mazda won hands down. My wife didnt want a van but we needed it for the family. Bought the ES model with a sunroof, it is one of her favorite vehicals she has ever owned. Everytime we drive it she says "I love this van". It is roomy for seven, rides great, has better handling that any other van we tested, and the best value. After the dealer price and rebates we got this van with tons of features plus leather interior, duel sliding doors, sunroof, and great performance for the same price as the base price Honda. Anyone needing a van needs to seriously look at the Mazda.

The Right Choice - 2002 Mazda MPV
By Zoom Zoom in NJ - November 2 - 2:00 amThis is our first minivan. (LX w/luxury, GFX, security and entertainment packages) With two toddlers, the Camry was way too small. We looked at the Odyssey- but the dealers refused to negotiate- and the Sienna didnt have the third row flat seats. We also felt that we didnt need the huge mom-mobile yet. I also hate the exterior look of both the Sienna and Odyssey. The MPV is just the right size w/room to grow. The manuverability is excellent. It feels like Im driving a sports car (the advertisements were right about that one). The exterior is also really sporty. My husband and I actually take turns driving.

Makes the transition to a mini-van easy! - 2002 Mazda MPV
By indykoch - October 2 - 10:00 amI had a Protege in high school, a Miata STO before the child, and now an MPV - Mazda has treated me good! I never thought Id own a mini-van, but the wife obviously had more input. I must say Im quite impressed! This is easily the best looking, best engineered, fun to drive (I know, its still a mini-van) van on the market. Its a bit on the small side at times, but that was one of its attractive features, and we knew it from the start. It makes the transition from sports cars to mini-vans easier to digest. By far... the best choice!

Love This Van!!! - 2002 Mazda MPV
By Love This Van - June 27 - 2:00 amJust sold my Windstar with 42K miles. Bought an 02 Mazda after much research. I totally love this van! Its awesome! Most stylish design on the road by far. Tumble down seat and back "well" with cargo net is so handy! Beats my Windstar for keeping things controlled in the back. I sit up higher, the engine is quiet and smooth. Drives so pleasantly and is so easy to park and manuver. Much, much like a car. Dealership very willing to deal, walked out with a SWEET deal including a factory-installed DVD!Hope my feelings havent changed in a year! Dont be afraid of this van-its a definate winner.

Best Minivan ever! - 2002 Mazda MPV
By CA_Dreaming - May 4 - 10:00 amIve owned a Honda and a Dodge minivan and they just arent as nice. The MPV is the anti-minivan minivan! Its fast, it handles well, its quiet and comfortable. No rattles! (The Dodge felt and sounded like you were leaving a trail of nuts and bolts as you motored down the highway!) The Honda was nice, but it was always having little stuff go wrong... unusual for Honda Im told, but thats what I experienced.

Check out all minis - 2002 Mazda MPV
By Va.Mike - April 15 - 10:00 amThe MPV listed for $23,120. I bought the basic LX with a few minor extras. I paid $19,800 for the MPV and am very happy so far. At this price I was well below all other contenders including all the rebates. Ford Windstar had almost $4400 in rebates and another couple of thousand in discounts and my MPV price when everything is compared was a better long term deal.
