Hi guys,

We are looking for a Mazda MPV for our expanding family (about to need three car seats). I think we are settled on the MPV due to the ease provided by the sliding back doors and size (we prefer it to the Presage due to the extra room).

We are looking to spend around of $10,000-$12,000 for a 2006 or newer. Could you recommend a specific model to look for or avoid (I have heard its best to avoid the turbo for example).

Also are there any other family cars you would recommend we look at that rival the MPV?

Thanks in advance,

Alex.

Hi there, they look to be great vehicles and no one has called us to complain with any problems to warn of, whether turbo or not.
They have a big engine but seem fairly fuel economic, considering.
Just be sure to have the vehicle checked out before when you find one you like.
