Mazda built the mini-van that every enthusiast with a family wants and then
doesn't sell it in North America. And I much prefer the DISI Turbo-4 over a
big V6 even though it's slower. Move new minivans today get SUV type gas
mileage, this will get car-like mileage.
In the US, they need to DROP the CX-7 and bring this MPV in its place. With
a diesel/elec. hybrid engine, or a Ford EcoBoost whatever, this will be the
vehicle folks will want to go into debt for. Heck, I would rid myself of
the Rondo in a minute.
I have MPV 2005 3.0, i'm so glad to got this car, It is amazing can it has
chain belt, 5 speed auto.. However, I have 3 kids that it is very
appropriate for us. and very economical car. I decide if i want buy family
car, I will buy MPV 2013.
I think it was a huge mistake for Mazda to drop the MPV from the US market.
I have a 2005 MPV ES. It's been a great car. Why will nobody make a hybrid
that seats 6-7?
