rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author woodworker67 - We have a 2002 Mazda LX, with 102,000km (approx 60,000mi.) It is a 5 speed automatic, and has started "falling out of gear" as the mechanics say. This means when we are driving along, in drive, the transmission slips into neutral for a few seconds, and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author p0tat03 - Having owned my '02 Mazda MPV for 2 years now, I think I'm qualified to make some comments. The car has a leg up on much of the competition in the minivan market. It handles like a sedan, and is a very welcome change when it comes to other vans that...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cdekanter - I think it's fair to begin by saying that we did not purchase this vehicle new, so we were aware of the MPV's features and shortcomings before plunking down a check. However, we have found that the "cons" are extremely minor compared to the pleasure of...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zoomzoom_03lx - I had test-driven other minivans including 2003 Sienna and Odyssey before making up my decision. The Odyssey is "odd" in driving experience.
