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.

  I RENTED IT AND IT BLEW ME AWAY!!! - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By George Sanidas - July 16 - 10:00 am

  I rented a minivan to transport my family (wife and three children) to Syracuse, NY. I did not know the type of minivan I was going to get but expected a Windstar. We ended up with a Mazda MPV ES. I LOVED driving this minivan. My other car is a BMW. Guess what? Im in love all over again!!!

  Like the van hate the transmission - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By Gregg Gagnon - July 4 - 2:00 am

  My wife an I purchased a 2003 MPV and on firts impressions really liked it. However we began to experience problems with the transmission shifting very hard into 3rd gear. We took the van in for service and they said it need a computer update. We got the van back and eveything seemed to be fine, but 2 -3 weeks later the same problem with the transmission started all over. Back to the shop it went and a week later we got it back with a new transmission. Once again everyting was great for 3-4 weeks but the same problem is back.

  You must try one. - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By Don Ehrismann - July 4 - 2:00 am

  This is a great mini-van value for the buck. It is just the right size for a smaller family. It is easy to park, gets good mileage, is fun to drive. It is one of two new autos I have bought new, and have had nothing go wrong with it. It has many features that other 2003 models didnt have. Fold and tumble rear seat, that folds down in a well to be out of the way when not needed. Roll down side door windows, for air during mild weather. It is fun to drive, and very nimble, just right for in town parking and getting into smaller areas. Its quality shows throughout, and it is very reliable.

  The best - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By Judy Petrozzelli - June 8 - 10:00 am

  Ive never owned a Mazda before but so far I love this van. Its perfect because its not to big and it drives like a regular car yet it has the room for seven passangers. It has a beautiful exterior and the driving is very smooth. My husband and I did a lot of research and chose the MPV because of its ratings.

  Soccer mom has got some go! - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By kirk - June 5 - 11:40 pm

  Im 12 so I thought Id give my Idea of this van. My mom found a brand new MPV; it was a 2003. So far we have found some cons on this. One positive is it has the power to pass a Ford Expedition or a Chevy Suburban and my dads Mercedes Benz for that matter. Some problems are that for what ever reason it sucks gas! The dealer cant seem to describe what the van does but it does this thing were when you put it in gear the tranny clunks, shaking the van. It doesnt really do that though, only when its hot.

  Mazda between Us and Japan - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By Boston4family - May 22 - 2:00 am

  This is a good solid van, with several "need to improve" desing features. A little attention to this product and some marketing could sell alot more of them.

  Great van - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By ADow - April 21 - 10:00 am

  We went from a larger minivan to the MPV and we love it. It handles extremely well, has a lot of pep and is very reliable (a standard 3 yr, 50,000 mile warranty)The cargo room is decieving because the place where the bench seat folds into holds a lot of cargo. We can actually fit more in this van than in our old one because of this well. The rear seat is also larger than it looks and our kids have never complained about the room. You cannot beat this van compared to others on the market. Mazda has excellent customer service and they back up their product. Dont let the size fool you. You wont be dissapointed with the van.

  Almost perfection - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By Cesarito - April 10 - 2:00 am

  I compared this van with their equivalent in Nissan and Toyota, and it has better design, and the price is lower. More features than Dodge Grand Caravan. Its an amazing car!

  2002 MPV - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By Steveeee - March 27 - 10:00 am

  Ive owned my 2002 MPV for 4 months and love it. I considered every minivan and ended up with the MPV for its sporty look, feel and drive, considering its a minivan. Its smaller and easier to maneuver for my wife and handles better than any minivan out there.

  A great Minvan - 2003 Mazda MPV
  By mjhenny - March 15 - 2:00 am

  We owned a Chrysler T&C LX (2000) before buying this 03 Mazda MPV. The Chrysler was a POS, and time will tell with the Mazda, but it seems like a great decision to purchase this. The Mazda really does drive more like a car than a van - so much better acceleration, brakes, handling, and steering than the Chrysler- very solid and impressive. The backseat is not meant for adults to sit in for long (not enough leg support), but it is great for kids, and folds into the floor. The middle seats slide together or stay apart as quads. Its worth the test drive - I didnt think wed have a chance of buying it, but looking at it and an driving convinced me.
