Mazda MPV - 2004 Mazda MPV
By HoJo - December 29 - 2:00 amExcellent road holding and ride. Powerful V6 2.5L. Ample cargo and passenger space for a small family. All in all much better than any of the other similar sized vans on the market. The cargo space is VERY versatile. I like the way the third row seats fold half down and tip over to make a tailgate seat for the ball games and the beach. My vehicle was fully imported from Japan and has that Japanese attention to detail and quality that others only wish they had.

Mazda Magic - 2004 Mazda MPV
By Chris Read - December 24 - 10:00 amWonderful mini-van; perfect size; not too much a goliath like most. And the second seat windows go down!(Only mini-van in which they do.) Wish the second seats folded into the floor. A couple of small design glitches, like you cant see the A/C button behind the gear selector when driving. Has been problem-free (11000 miles).

ZOOM ZOOM - 2004 Mazda MPV
By Rick Bogey - December 24 - 10:00 amThis mid size MPV has the soul of a sports MPV. The handling is great and the size is an advantage. The gas mileage is a plus. This is the second MPV I have owned. We have also owed a Toyota Sienna.

Highly Recommend - 2004 Mazda MPV
By MPV Mom of 3 - October 13 - 10:33 pmWe bought our 2004 ES new and got a great deal with rebates & discounts. I thought I really wanted an Odyssey because Ive always had Hondas, but after driving this one I was sold! Much nicer layout on inside, had more room up front for my 6 foot 2 husband and that really sold him (he did not want a minivan at all, but after he drove it he changed his mind). It is just a beautiful van and drives like a dream! We have 3 kids and theres plenty of room for everyone even with the baby seat (love the latch system for the infant seat). The MPV was a much better buy than the Odyssey and looks so much better. I also like that it is a bit smaller and Im not driving a big box!

Reliability - 2004 Mazda MPV
By Guy Lafleur - September 30 - 10:00 amI have had the MPV for two years now. No issues whatsoever. Great van for the family. Great vehicule in the snow (I am Canadian). I am a "car guy" and have had many cars this is by far the best. Bottom line...if you are thinking of getting one Just get it! You wont regret it. Mazda has really improved , so much so that Ill be getting the Mazda 6.

Good value for the money - 2004 Mazda MPV
By SnapRolls - August 12 - 10:00 amI was looking for a replacement for my 1994 Miata as my primary vehicle. Looked at sedans, SUVs, and minivans and decided the MPV offered the most bang for the buck. It drove nice, was quiet, had good fit and finish, and the LX with the LX Upgrade package, traction control, and the 4 seasons package had everything I wanted. Im 6 feet tall and the van had plenty of creature comforts for me. My garage is small but the MPVs "footprint" is actually smaller than some sedans. The seats are very versatile and I can handle them by myself... which was important as a single female.

91K and need new engine - 2004 Mazda MPV
By L Reynolds - August 11 - 5:00 pmThe 2004 Mazda MPV was reliable until about 65K when I started having trouble with numerous ignition coils. The last straw was last week - replaced all three rear coils - #3 kept misfiring and dealership recommended to replace them all. Then ck eng. light came on again and they cleaned fuel injectors. Light came on again, they turned it off because it said #3 coil again and it was just replaced. Last Friday started and it shook like a go cart - had it towed - now I am told the engine is blown. They want $7K to replace and $3300 for a rebuilt with 1 yr warranty. So frustrating - used to love this van but now am afraid of all its problems - dont know whether to fix - worth $500. now!

Worlds best minvan - 2004 Mazda MPV
By ckop - August 6 - 10:00 amI have been looking for quite a while to replace my 94 Ford Thunderbird with a vehicle with higher seating, I am a senior and getting in and out of my Ford was becomming more difficult. I have researched many vehicles on the web and in dealer showrooms. I looked at Windstars,Dodge Caravans, CR- Vs,Escapes, Xterras, etc. Mazda reviews rated the MPV an excellent minivan. I test drove a MPV at Community Motors in Oak Forest ,Il. and was "hooked".Iwas impressed with the comfort, the visibility, the power and the high quality of the product. I brought my wife back and we bought the car, enough said.
