2005 Mazda MPV Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by b_dot_b

Handling

Handles like a car, smaller size makes for easy cornering/parking

Cargo capacity

large enough for a small family

Reliability & durability

Overall few problems thus far, solid mechanics except for a few known issues

Ride smoothness

low cockpit noise and absorbs most major bumps - especially with good tire choice

Safety & braking

Strong braking - especially with good tire choice

Exterior styling

fairly non-descript, not terrible sexy but adequate for a family vehicle

Price or payments

fairly expensive given the recent Mazda-5 pricing though should be a bargain on the used market

problems like the ignition coils and rear wheel well rust are well known to owner.
