1992 Mazda MPV 3dr Minivan
I bought this van as a second car fixer-upper. I was surprised at the 3.0 engine coming back to life with a new a/c compressor, cooling system transplant, new belts, and hoses, and a simple tune-up. This mpv has a power button transmission option for towing trailers which I had serviced for $43. Has enough room for my family of 5 to travel around Florida at easy with our luggage. Great … van, truck & addition to our family. I recommend this mpv van renovation to any family who wants a minivan/truck 4 under $6000.
Will keep forever

1994 Mazda MPV 3dr Minivan
Bought new. Now 136,000 miles, mostly trouble free. Parked 9 years in Texas sun and paint looks new. Mechanical problems have included valve job for noisy valves, new water pump, new radiator, new fuel pump, and new speedometer. That's the complete list in 9 years of driving. Last year I installed new leather seats as the original front ones were cracking (probably from parking in … the sun). Have added a DVD/TV with rear monitor for the kids. It has been so cheap to own and maintain I plan to keep it another 10 years. Not a flashy vehicle, but reliability has been spectacular. A great buy used as prices are low and don't reflect high quality and reliability of this van.

1993 Mazda MPV 3dr Minivan
Probably made better then the newer minivans with all the problems aka transmission failures. It is an older vehicle so what can you expect right. At start up it runs very rough and there is a clicking noise coming from the engine. It is hard starting at times and then it is fine. It isn't very good on gas that's for sure. The slow opening back door is annoying. You need really long arms … to reach the controls feels like its a strain to push the buttons. The far back seat is not removable. Lacks power going up hills. Built better then today's vehicles that are made to fall apart.
Well-built minivan

1992 Mazda MPV 3dr Minivan
Bought ours used about 2 years ago with
103k miles. Fit and finish are still
excellent, everything works. Handling
is solid and neutral - good tires make
a big difference. Typically makes 18mpg
in town which isn't bad considering
engine size and weight of vehicle.
Smooth ride, good ergonomics for driver
(except cruise control location on
dash!).
The engine on ours … occasionally has
fairly loud valvetrain noise -
apparently a problem with this model
year. Dealer had fixed it once before
we owned it, but it's back. Everything
else so far has been bulletproof - AC,
brakes, transmission.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 1994 Mazda MPV, so we've included reviews for other years of the MPV since its last redesign.
