Used Mazda MPV for Sale

I truly love my Mazda MPV. It's fun to drive, really reliable, comfortable, and a lot more attractive looking than most minivans. It feels more like a crossover than a soccer mom van. We love that it's trim looking but seats seven, and we appreciate having a roof rack. The car drives really well and handles great even for a larger vehicle. We are also pleased with the gas mileage. Minivans tend to not be as efficient and we are pleased with the fuel economy of the MPV. We really have had no major problems with it even though we've put on almost 100,000 miles in the three years we've owned it. We drive a lot for our work and for fun, so it's really important for us to have a reliable, easy to maintain, and safe car for our family and for our stuff.

I like the size and style of the Mazda MPV. My family fit very well in it. The third row seating came in handy many times. The cargo space was great for hauling sports gear and camping equipment. It was never easy for me to transform the back from seating to cargo space. The headrests had to be removed, and they didn't come out easily. There were two different handles to pull to get the seat to fold over then drop down into the space. I can't even remember exactly what it took to put the seats back up. The seats were very comfortable. Some of the most comfortable car seats I can remember. The visibility was good with lots of big windows. The MPV was used when we got it and needed catch-up maintenance, including power steering flush, transmission flush, alignment, windshield wipers. Not long after we got it the alternator needed to be replaced. There was a problem with the electrical system causing fuses to blow and systems (radio, power locks, charger) to stop working. I wonder if I would have enjoyed it more if it had been better maintained before we got it. I still liked it a lot.

I purchased my 2005 Mazda MPV LX in January of 2005 out of sheer necessity. It was six months after the birth of my second child. Early on, it became apparent I couldn't continue driving my Nissan Sentra. I’d become a nervous wreck every time I had to drive around with two small children in such a tiny car. It just wasn’t safe. I knew with an expanding family I needed something with plenty of storage, but I also knew I wasn’t in any position to pay big bucks for a Honda Odyssey or a Toyota Sienna. It took me months of research to find just the right vehicle for my family but eventually I chose the Mazda MPV, because it had everything I wanted at a reasonable price. In ten and a half years of ownership, I can honestly say it’s the best, most reliable car I’ve ever driven. It currently has 140,000 miles on it and it’s still going strong. It’s been driven 1200 miles back and forth to Florida twice, and I never feared I’d break down on I-95. I have confidence this minivan will be able to reach at least 200,000 miles without my having to replace any major components.
