Still driving since 1997 to now (2023)

I brought the MPV All sport 4WD in 1997, my second car after immigrated, my version is for 8 passengers, since I always go out with another family of 4, I sold to my friend in 2000 since I had to leave North America for a long period of time, I returned on 2018, my friend still driving it, of course some parts are changed reasonable, they drove it almost everyday to go to work, since they brought a new car, so I brought it back and still driving today, it seem like my old friend, reliable most of the time, except two times that I ignore the warning light on, that result in dynamo failure, I keep driving after replaced, I used to drive over 70kmh in the snowing, cornering is excellent, I just loving it.

I'm holding onto this MPV forever!

This has been the best car. It's versatile - 2WD, AWD, 4WD, hauls a lot of stuff and is the best road trip car ever. It's been nearly trouble free. I had to have a couple of the electric door locks replaced - they are very proud of those. I'll look for used next time. Other than that, it gets synthetic oil changes every 3 months Great car! Sorry Mazda changed the body style to make it a mini-van. Kind of a slap in the face.

Great dependable vehicle!

I owned an MPV for three years and had absolutley no problems with it. Changed the oil every 3,000 miles and did regular maintenance. Very reliable vehicle!
