Mazda MPV (99-04) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 January 1999 Despite the self-congratulatory name, Mazda's MPV doesn't deliver class-leading performance in any area. It's fine as dependable family transport, but doesn't match up to what rivals offer. However, it has been re-styled for 2004 with a family face (grille, bumper, headlights) just like the Mazda6. It also has body-colour door handles, privacy glass and restyled rear lights, which has given MPV a stronger on-road presence, although it still looks pretty anonymous. 3 out of 5 Other Mazda reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £17,495 - £20,100 Used price range: £761 - £3,109 View all used prices Get a Mazda MPV (99-04) information pack Next steps Mazda MPV cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
