It drives just like a car and not like a heavy vehicle.
This vehicle drives like a car. It has a wide open front window for great viewing and has dual side doors for ease.

Great car, would love better radio options, but it is a 2001.
It has a lot of rain in a lot of saving and fold down saving for more cargo area it has a DVD player mounted in the ceiling which is great for trips and lots of legroom. Love the windshield, it is huge and give a lot of views. Wipers clear rain perfect as well.

Like a timex watch, keeps on ticking
Paint job sucks. All Mazda paint peels after 20 years. Runs okay... Got it used. Breaks often but easy DIY fixes. Been in a minor crash torn up front end nut but relatively unhurt. Fixed car with used part. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Since it is my first Mazda I am impressed

My vehicle fits my entire family. I need four car seats to fit each of my four children and there is plenty of room for my husband and myself too.
My van is very reliable. I bought it used in 2015 and have had no serious issues with it since. It fits my family of 6 easily, and that includes 4 car seats. I am very happy with the vehicle.

Lots of room. Seats fold down. Family vehicle.
It's not most reliable right now. It has a lot of issues. It has a lot of issues now. It is roomy. It has plenty of cup holders.

Tired but trusty old van.
It is a gray van. The transmission is going out. The battery life sucks. The interior is nasty. It is get to point A to point B. Tires are good. Gas mileage sucks big time. Bought in 2002 and has went to Arizona and Michigan and Rhode island and got good mileage out of it. Now it is time to retire the poor worn out vehicle.

Not. Worth anything time to replace and get me something more updated.
It was a great vehicle when I first purchased it but as time went by my children tore through the vehicle with food stains not taking care of the only transportation that we have now the car is a total hot mess time for me to get something new and more updated.

Great back seat hauling space.
Cup holders are weirdly designed. Things go flying.. Dashboard is odd as well, lets things slide. Love the windshield and wipers, and the seats are very comfortable. Air and heat will keep you warm or cold. Seating is great, as well as the space in the back with the fold down seat.

Fits my family of 6 and our dog and has been a very good car for us.
My van has been actually very good for me but has had few issues with vacuum lines and coil pack problems but overall great car. It gets about 15 mpg and is very basic with no luxury items but works well. It seats seven and the two middle seats you can remove and the rear bench seat will fold down so you have more hauling space inside for items that are larger.
accountCircle Cindy B
My car is dependable. It gets pretty good gas mileage. It holds 6 to 7 people.
I like the size of it. I like the way it handles. I wish it had heated seats.
accountCircle Heidi R
It has more power than it looks like. It can take on most vehicles.
I like that it's roomy. I don't love how it handles. It makes weird noise do to a valve issue
