2004 Mazda MPV Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I like the removable and fold down seats. I like the exterior design. I dislike that the engine fan sounds like an airplane.

It rusts inside and outside the car. It always needs work done to it. I like the look of the car.

The vehicle runs fairly well; however, there are continuous little things that need fixing. Like airbag recall, resetting the battery for the check engine light when there is nothing wrong, replacing thermostat, and so on. Not that great on gas either, Honda CR-V is better.

I will start by saying what I like about my van. It has a tailgate option for the back row. The rear seat leans back toward the rear door so that you can sit with your feet dangling out of the car. It also has speakers and charging ports in the rear. I like that the middle seats can be adjusted to be close together or far apart or completely removed for cargo space. The rear seat also folds into the floor for maximum cargo space. The thing I dislike most is the cheap quality of the handles and doors. They break very easily. Most everything is cheaply made.

The automatic doors only work sporadically. The air conditioning is very noisy outside the vehicle. However the vehicle gives us very few problems otherwise and is dependable. The paint and body are scratch and dented so it' bad an the outside. The paint is pearl which is impossible to match or fix scratches without totally repainting.

It runs well; very reliable. It has some minor electrical problems; one of the long door windows' motors died. There is a slow leak in coolant system.

It is getting old, both sliding doors are having problems. The headlights have been a problem since we bought the car oh, they keep burning out a couple times a year. I do like the fact that the middle row can be set up is to separated captains chairs or they can slide together and become one bench like an old-school minivan. It was good when we first got it but now it is time for a new car.

Love the 3 rows of seating and how the 3rd row collapses for trunk space. Gas doesn't last long though. Seats are comfortable. Alternator has gone out twice. Something inside keeps breaking causing the motor to burn oil leaving a bad smell. Overall not great but not terrible either
