1988RedT2

Just back from our second road trip this summer. Put at least 1000 miles on the MPV in a week. She's got 55,000 miles on her now and is still perfect. The General Altimax HP tires are great. Engine pulls nicely, but there are surely times when I wish she had a little more grunt, like accelerating on the short on-ramps on I-80 in eastern Pennsylvania! Transmission is smooth as silk, but a little reluctant to downshift. Handling is great for a minivan. Original brakes all around, although the rears seem to growl a little on hard stops. There are a few times a year (like when we're packing for vacation) that we wish the MPV was a bit larger, but the nice thing is, the other 50 weeks a year, it's the right size for daily driving. Call me a satisfied customer. Too bad Mazda pulled the plug on the MPV in 2005. I'm enjoying mine!



Oh, yeah! I averaged right at 26 mpg for the trip, which ain't bad, IMO.
