2003 MAZDA MPV WINDOWS
The MPV is smooth, quiet and powerful. It's pleasant to live with. MPV features a beautifully designed interior with high-quality materials, excellent ergonomics, and great seats. Sliding doors on both sides are convenient, and they have real windows that go up and down, which is nice for back-seat riders. Flexible seating and cargo configurations make it easy for the MPV to handle a variety of tasks on a busy day. The third row disappears into the floor, and the middle seats are a marvel of clever design.

The MPV's small size hasn't hurt its performance in crash testing. In fact, the MPV is one of just a few passenger vans to receive a top five-star rating in all four of the Federal government's collision categories: front and side impact, for both front-seat and rear-seat passengers. Last year, the MPV was significantly upgraded, with a new 3.0-liter V6 that delivered substantially more power and torque. Mazda paired this new engine with a new and responsive five-speed automatic transmission and a revised suspension. Big, sporty 17-inch alloy wheels are standard on the ES version. Compared with most minivans, the Mazda MPV is a sports car. It's lighter and more compact than, say, a Honda Odyssey, making it more agile and easier to park.
