Hi All,

I've had my 03 MPV DX for about 2.5 years. Went to the local dealer after doing research a few different minivans and fell for the MPV.

Bought the highest end DX they had; 2 option packs that essentially make it a LX apart from the interior fabric, 16" alloy rims and color coded handles. Saved a few grand in the process The options also included 15" alloy rims, oil cooler, and heavy duty rad. I just hit 40,000KM on the odometer a week ago. The only things I have done are to add a K&N filter about a year ago and upgrade the tires to Nokian WR 225/60/15 96H all-weather tires...far better than the stock Dunlop 205/65/15 94H, which are terrible in any wet condition. Why Mazda went the cheap route on the tires is beyond me. Anyway these Nokians are the best investment besides the MPV I have made, are good for 100,000KM and make the vehical handle amazingly well.
