After a one-year hiatus, the MPV returns as an all-new minivan poised for battle with today's best from Chrysler, Ford, Honda and Nissan. Despite Mazda's more conventional approach with their newest minivan, the company still insists that the MPV offers "no compromise" travel in a world filled with boring "box-on-wheels" people movers.

Drivetrain choices for the MPV are limited to a 2.5-liter, DOHC, 24-valve V6 engine that bears much in common with the Ford Duratec V6 of the same size. Creating 170 horsepower (160 in LEV states) and 165 foot-pounds of torque, the MPV will never be mistaken for a performance vehicle, at least in terms of acceleration. Shifting duty comes via a four-speed automatic lifted from Mazda's 626 sedan.

Underneath the MPV you'll find a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam axle rear suspension, along with front and rear stabilizer bars and a power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system. Standard brakes are front disc and rear drum with optional ABS. An electronic brake force distribution system (EBD) is included with ABS to keep stopping distances consistent whether the van is near empty or fully loaded.

Overall size, both inside and out, is down, compared to the largest offerings from Chrysler, Ford and Honda. But Mazda worked hard to make the most of the MPV's interior space. This minivan comes standard with three rows of seating. The second and third rows can be configured for different seating arrangements.

The second row features two comfortable captain's chairs that have their own flip-up armrests. The real trick part is that the right-side second-row chair can be released by a handle, allowing it to be moved along tracks to meet up with the other second-row chair creating a bench seat. The tumble-under third-row seat can be folded backwards to allow for tailgate-style seating.

Trim levels start with the base DX model that includes 15-inch wheels, dual sliding doors with roll-down windows, de-powered front airbags, removable second-row seats, tumble-under third-row seat, AM/FM/CD player and air conditioning. Step up to the LX and you'll get such niceties as ABS, body-colored bumpers and door handles, dual heated and powered outside mirrors, power windows, cruise control, and privacy glass. The top-of-the-line ES models get 16-inch alloy wheels, leather-trimmed upholstery, side airbags, remote keyless entry and a thundering nine-speaker sound system. Options like a power sunroof, six-disc in-dash CD changer, exterior body cladding and a rear heater can increase your MPV's fun and functionality. It is worth noting, however, that power-sliding side doors are not an option.

Despite climbing SUV sales, the minivan continues as a staple of the automotive industry. If your needs for family toting in style and fun outweigh your requirements for space and power, the MPV deserves a close look.

Mazda MPV Overview and History

Born as the Toyo Cork Kogyo Co. in 1920, Mazda started out as a machine-tool manufacturing plant but quickly turned to making vehicles. The first Mazda car, called the Mazda-Go, a three-wheeled truck appeared in 1931, which a year later began exporting to China. This was the only car that was in production until the Second World War broke out when Mazda factories began making rifles.

After the war, part of the Mazda plant served as the Hiroshima prefecture for a short while. Production and export resumed in 1949 with the same 3-wheeled truck. The first 4-wheel truck was the Mazda Romper, introduced in 1958.

The first pasenger car came in 1960, the Mazda R360 Coupe. Mazda's first partnership with a foreign company was the one in 1961 with NSU/Wankel with which it produced and developed rotary engines. This was done in order to differentiate Mazda from the other Japanese companies. To this day, Mazda is the only manufacturer of Wankel rotary engines as the other companies (NSU and Citroen) gave up on the design sometime during the 70s.

Mazda's paid off because its models quickly gained a name as being powerful yet light vehicles. The most successful series for Mazda were going to be the R100 and the RX models which eventually led to the company's development.

Starting with 1970 Mazda began eyeing the biggest market for its cars, the United States. It opened up a North American branch under the name Mazda North American Operations and it proved to have the winning recipe. In fact, Mazda models were so successful that the company even produced a pick up truck based on the rotary engine.

With 1973 and the oil crisis, the thirsty rotary engines that Mazda used caused a drop in sales but the Japanese company hadn't really given up on piston engines so it was able to use a 4 cylinder model on its cars. The smaller Familia series and Capella were born.

But Mazda wasn't about to give up on its sporty cars and it decided to develop a parallel plant that would produce cars outside the mainstream. In 1978, they came up with the very sporty RX7 and later with the RX8. The piston engine also showed up on Mazda's line up with the MX-5 or Miata.

In 1979 Ford Motor Company became an investor in Mazda with a 27% share after the financial decline of the company. Later on, in the 80s, Ford acquired 20% more of the company after a few joint ventures like using the Familia series platform for the Laser and Escort models as well as building the new Probe and the Mazda plant in Flat Rock, Michigan.

The 90s started off with another joint venture with Ford on the 1991 Explorer which turned out to be a bad investment for the Japanese while the Americans reaped all the benefits. Following its fascination with alternative engine designs, Mazda started developing the Miller cycle engine in 1995.

The latter part of the 90s proved to be not so profitable for the Japanese as the financial crisis hit in 1997, during which Ford acquired 39.9% of the company. From that point on, the collaboration between the two marques intensified, sharing engine design and even some platforms (Ford Escape with Mazda Tribute and the new generation Ford Focus with the Mazda Axela).

For the future, Mazda intends to maintain its forward thinking and experimental technology, by developing a hydrogen-powered car. The prototype has so far reached a 200 kilometers autonomy.

2000 Mazda MPV Consumer Reviews

Favourite Van of its Era..
Bought the van brand new in 2000, 13 years later and its still running strong with 230,000kms... Recently with my abuse ( I run it around 4 - 5000kms a month) its started giving minor problems such as the alternator and stabilizer links, but that is expected of a car of its age. Gas milaege is great compared to other vans, awesome people hauler, and great flexibility with the seats. Fun to drive.

A great minivan put to the test and beyond
I bought this van from a private seller in 05 with 72,000 miles on it. My van now has 173,000 we have routinely towed an 18 ft Ski boat with no problem except when the ramp is wet. Get out grab the cooler and kids push hard HA HA! No major issues what soever even towed a popup trailer to Tennessee through Blue Ridge Mountains.

Great van!
I feel so badly when I read about the horror stories of other owners because we have been beyond happy with our van! We purchased it new in 2000 and have had nothing but normal maintenance. The only thing that has now happened twice is that the driver's side sliding door handle has broken. Don't understand this, but if that's the only problem we've had in 10 years, I'm thrilled! We are at 145,000 miles and hope to continue for at least another 50,000?

Transmission Failed
I have been driving this car since the start of 2001. Overall it has been solid and has required only basic or required minimal repairs... until now. At only 80,000 miles the transmission has completely failed. This will cost over $ 3,000 to repair, more than 1/2 the value of the car. Mechanics seem surprised, but say it is a closed system, and if it goes... well it just goes. This is a real bummer and has really turned me off on this car.

2004 Mazda MPV
"good overall car with plenty of power"
Ive owned the 2004 mpv for fourteen years. The engine and transmission have never given me problems these are very reliable and has good power. However, Ive had problems with many of the sensors and coil packs. coil packs have consistently gone out at about 50,000 miles and many sensors went bad ex. coolant, oxygen, iac valve, etc.If you have some mechanical ability these should not be too much of a problem.

2003 Mazda MPV
"Rust Bucket"
Over the past couple of years the car began to rust around the wheel wells and doors. Now the mechanic informs us that the frame is about to rust through, and cannot be repaired. He says it was a common problem for the earlier mazda models. I have also observed other 2003 MPV models with the same rust pattern (because I almost mistake them for my car in the parking lot). Also, we had to replace the engine and the catalytic converter over the life of the vehicle. All that said, overall it has been a good car for us. I just would never recommend buying a 2003 model today.
