Overview

Reviews

The Mazda MPV was one of the earliest Japanese vans to reach the U.S. market, and among the first to be designed specifically for North American buyers. Built from the ground up and based on Mazda 929 sedan's platform, the MPV was a rear-wheel drive vehicle (until 2000, when it would become a front-wheel-drive), and for the 1989 model year was a three-door vehicle, with two front doors and a third rear door on the passenger side. Unlike many vans of the era, however, the MPV's third door was hinged like a conventional car door, rather than being a sliding door. The MPV was available with either two-wheel or four-wheel drive. The two-wheel drive version came with either a 121-horsepower, 2.6-liter four-cylinder engine or a 150-horsepower, 3.0-liter V6. The four-wheel-drive model was available with the V6 only. A five-speed manual transmission was standard on the two-wheel-drive models, while a four-speed automatic was standard on the four-wheel-drive version. Standard features for the MPV included bucket seats, power brakes, a tilt steering wheel, power steering, and a cassette player. Air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, and power door locks were among the options. Critics were generally positive about the MPV in its first year, and at least one car publication named the vehicle to its 10 Best list for 1989. For the most part, drivers were also positive about the MPV, with many current drivers noting that their vans have held up well over the years and are still running fine.

This car has survived eighteen years of driving through the most extreme conditions. It has made the drive from Wisconsin to Florida countless times and has toted us and all of our crap to the mountains and the lake. Not many cars could go through all that and still run perfectly fine.

I can hall most things. With a great tuneup it can really go. Stops on a dime. Starting to squeek. Looks good, it's not red and black though lol. Needs new interier. 30-35 , not to bad maintenance wise, less you talk bout price of a new tranny, then OUch.!!. Wish it had a sun roof/moon roof. Not as fun or sweet as a muscle car but ya it's ok.

This is one of the best, most reliable, safest minivans out there. It's old, but that also means it's made out of solid, thick steel, and you can feel it in the ride. In 19 years it has only broken down once, and has been very low maintenance. As you can imagine, by now a few electronic appliances in the car have had their problems - the radio doesn't work, and neither does the A/C. The only other problems I have with the car are that it has no airbags since it's so old and that it's not as responsive as it used to be. It's a V6, so you can be sure that you'll have enough power to do whatever it is you need to do. For a minivan this old, it has surprisingly good gas mileage - 18/20. Overall, this is an excellent car.
