	Mazda MPV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the Mazda MPV was well-received by the press and public, crash testers were less impressed.
		The original MPV was retired after the 1998 model year, but in Japan this car was produced under the name of Mazda MPV since 1997.
		This was replaced in a 2002 refresh with Mazda's AJ 3.0 L V6 and a 5-speed automatic transmission that produces 200 hp and 200 ft·lbf of torque.

	Test Drive Notes: Mazda MPV 2000
		While the old MPV was vaguely trucklike, with rear wheel drive and swing-out side rear doors, this newest incarnation is far more mainstream, with front wheel drive, a transverse engine, sliding doors and more space for people and their cargo.
		Mazda is clearly trying to snag some of the new parents who are currently standing in line, waiting for a Honda Odyssey.
		Mazda is marketing the MPV as an alternative to the Odyssey, the ubiquitous Chrysler minivans, the Ford Windstar, the Toyota Sienna, the Chevrolet Venture and their ilk.

	2006 MPV Exterior, Interior, Performance, Safety, Gallery, Features and Specs - Mazda USA
		The Mazda MPV was the first minivan in the industry to feature lowering rear-door windows, a feature that has pleased many a rear-seat passenger.
		While the Mazda MPV is not the largest, its useful and intuitive size just may make it the smartest.
		The advanced, "smart," airbag system in the MPV adjusts the deployment force of the airbags based on the severity of the crash, as well as on the driver’s seat position and the passenger’s weight.

	2002 Mazda MPV - The Car Connection
		The original MPV ('89 to '98) was a bull-nosed eccentric; powered by a longitudinally-mounted 3.0-liter V-6 in front, powering either the rear wheels or all the wheels with a big solid axle in the back, it had regular swinging rear doors on regular hinges with windows that rolled down.
		The MPV's Duratec (though Mazda doesn't call it a Duratec) is rated at 200 horsepower at 6200 rpm and 200 lb-ft of peak torque at 3000 rpm.
		In fact, the MPV is rated at 18 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway by the EPA, while the Odyssey's numbers are 18 and 25 respectively - even though both vehicles have five-speed automatic transmissions.

	2000 Mazda MPV - The Car Connection
		Mazda in particular rode its award-winning MPV a little too long: When the world moved on to front-wheel drive and larger, rounder shapes, the MPV remained its petite rear- (or four-) wheel-drive self.
		All three models, the DX $19,995 MPV, the $22,050 LX, and the top-of-the-line leather-everywhere $25,550 ES, have an automatic transmission that shifts smoothly on demand, and one tends to forget, owing to carlike handling, there's a whole van behind your seat.
		All in all, the MPV is a minivan for the new century, despite the lag between generations.

	CameraHobby - 2001 Mazda MPV
		The one common concern that we came across in researching the MPV is that the motor is underpowered for the size and weight of the minivan.
		Mazda (and Ford, which owns almost 35 percent of Mazda) has heard the criticisms and will be offering a much more powerful engine for the 2002 model.
		The 2002 MPV should be killer with its looks and external dimensions being unchanged but with the bonus of the larger 200 hp motor to give it the extra balls for acceleration on the highways.
