  Best vehicle Ive ever owned - 2004 Mazda MPV
  By Zak - July 2 - 11:36 am

  Our 2004 MPV has been by far the best vehicle I have ever owned, and Ive had a LOT of vehicles. Weve owned this for over 4 years and it now has 105,000 miles. Great fuel mileage, 29 on the highway, very reliable and I still like the styling for a minivan. Interior is a bit small for a van but makes up for it in styling and fuel mileage. I have 3 children, ages 6 and under and we use this vehicle everyday, from short trips taking the oldest to school to LONG road trips to places like Maine and Disney World (We live in PA so it is a long drive to either). We had a few odd issues while under warranty but since then only issues have been parts that were due to be replaced, like coils etc.

  Great Car for the money - 2004 Mazda MPV
  By Robert - June 13 - 5:40 am

  We considered the Sienna and Caravan but found this was best deal for the money. We purchased our MPV in November after the birth of our second child. It is very easy to get the kids into and out of the car. My wife says it has changed her whole opinion on minivans and we are now considering buying a second one for her to replace her luxury sedan. We have only found one drawback I have the 17 inch tires and recently had a blowout due to road debris and was shocked when it cost me $160 to replace and I had to wait a week because the tire was special order, ouch!

  Stay away from the 2004 Mazda MPV - 2004 Mazda MPV
  By rvgray13 - May 25 - 12:17 am

  I bought this van used from a dealer. It didnt have a lot of miles on it (less than 50K, I think). It has been nothing but problems, coil packs go out regularly (Ive replaced at least 6 times), shift shock, front end control arms, hub bearings, tie rods. Terrible gas mileage. I have contacted Mazda corporate several times and they pretend they havent heard of the issues. Funny how the complaints are all over the web. I think the transmission just went out and I am leaning towards junking it and getting else.

  A minivan thats actually fun to drive - 2004 Mazda MPV
  By NewtoMazda - May 9 - 2:00 am

  Moved from a 2001 Town & Country to the MPV and couldnt be happier. We wanted the functionality of a minivan, but not the huge size. The MPV is perfect...narrow and short enough for easy parking while still having all the necessary minivan features. Looks sporty and has great handling.

  From boring utility to enjoyment - 2004 Mazda MPV
  By bill m. - May 4 - 10:00 am

  After driving a windstar for 7 years, my wife and I went for a test drive with the new MPV. We were sold by its new looks and great driving performance. I was initally afraid that the interior would be too small and cramped for driving, but I was pleasently suprised. The features of role down side windows, electric side doors,sliding seat for access, and better gas milage fit our lifestyle. Finally, unlike most larger minis, there is no "sway" when making sharp turns. It drives and parks like a conventional car.

  Happy so far - 2004 Mazda MPV
  By Familyoffour - April 28 - 10:00 am

  Just bought an MPV. Great value/features for the price. We have an LX with the LX Plus package, traction control, side airbags, roof rack and power side doors. Love the look of it. Adequate power and very quiet inside. We like the overall size, although there could be a little more leg room in the 2nd row. The fact that the gearshift blocks the radio isnt good but is offset somewhat by the steering wheel controls. Parking brake shouldnt be on the floor, it blocks access to the rear. Full removeable center console would be nice. Transmission a little clunky switching from 1st to 2nd. We are very happy with it so far.

  Horrible performance with this vehicle. Has been in for service 7 times within 2 years. 4 times requiring tow. Very dissatisfied with vehicle.

  2004 Mazda MPV Review - 2004 Mazda MPV

  Compared to Honda, Toyota, Chevrolet minivans, the MPV is a much better value, especially for a small family of four or perhaps even 5.

  Multiple problems with coils in engine - 2004 Mazda MPV
  By Lorf - February 15 - 2:00 am

  Bought the vehicle used in 2008 with about 40,000 miles. Loved it at first, rode smoothly, feels like a car, looks great for a minivan and love that the sliding door windows roll down. Fast forward to about 75,000 miles. The first engine coil goes. 90,000 two more blow. Now at 101,000 miles, the 4th coil is being replaced tomorrow. There is a design defect in the coil placement in this MPV that allows water to enter the coils, and shorten the live considerably. Some other little things here and there, but the engine is the big issue. Trading it in for a more reliable vehicle right after the repair is done.
