#1 of 378 Welcome! by KarenS HOST Jan 26, 2001 (9:48 am)
Please introduce yourself!   My name is Karen and I'll be your host in the Mazda MPV Club. Some of you may remember me? It hasn't been that long since Vans was my stomping ground.   Let me know what discussions you would like to have included in this folder. Perhaps take a look at the already established Owner's Clubs for ideas? Anyone care to be a representative/Community Leader for the club? Let me know!    Looking forward to meeting everyone!   KarenS  Owner's Club Host
#3 of 378 It's Here! by blondemom1 Jan 26, 2001 (2:40 pm)
We've heard for a long time now about getting our own owners' forum, and the day is finally here. Thanks Karen.   I'm Blondemom, a.k.a. Linda. I am a soon-to-be 40 year old mom of 2. I've been married for 19 years to my husband Jim, who I affectionately refer to as Saltandpepperdad, for those who don't know.   I've had my van for 14 months, and 34,000+ miles, and I've loved every minute. We train race horses for a living, but I live for coaching softball.

I'm T and on my second MPV. No problems with either other than trying to get the kids to keep their crackers and pretzles off the floor and the hands off the windows.   I'm married with an awesome wife and 4 good (most of the time) kids.

I am John, We baught our MPV last May. We LUVRMPV. It's been one of the best decisions ever. The kids love it, their friends love it and of course the wife loves it. We are at the 19k mark and have few problems to report. I'm 40 with two kids Groan (a girl) 15 and Moan (a boy) 13 and of course my wife who is gracious enough to leave us the van on my days off. Well, see you here!    Hasta La Vista Baby!
#7 of 378 Hi from AlexV by alexv1n Jan 26, 2001 (9:06 pm)
Hi there,   I'm Alex from Ottawa, Canada. Our '00 MPV is 6 months old (well, it's 1 year old but it was on the lot of the other 6 months). It's Silver LX with Sports package (in Canada the packages are slightly different, so the van has US's 4 season, security and touring packages). Now it has 12,000 km and no major problems. The engine coolant seemed to be leaking but on inspection it turned out to be an air pocket in cooling system. Letting air out of the system cured the problem. Now the breaks are squealing and I'm going to have them looked at during next oil change.   Other than that we (myself, my wife and 4-year-old girl) love the van and all our friends are very positive about it (which is good, right?). The power issue is a non-issue as the van cruises at 150 km/h with 6 adults on board with no problem at all and would go faster (please, don't tell RCMP   I'm reading Townhall since May 2000 and it was the main source of inspiration while I was deciding on the van purchase. Thanks folks, you were (and are) incredible. Special thanks to javadoc, tboner, blondemom and many other members who seem to live on the Townhall all the time out of the van...

I'm Carlos and have had a 2000 Red MPV ES for about 14 months without any problems. We enjoy using it for traveling and have about 15,000 miles on it. We live in the mountains of western North Carolina and are satisfied with the performance on the interstate and in the mountains. We have gotten between 20 and 23 mpg since day one. We have received numerous compliments on the looks and interior design. I have been reading and ocassionally posting on this forum for over a year.
#9 of 378 Hi by sandesdriver Jan 27, 2001 (2:19 pm)
I have a sand ES from December 1999. To date about 9300 miles since it is primarily used to shuttle between Las Vegas and Southern California. Mileage: about 18 in the city, 22-23 highway. No problems. Runs just fine in the desert climate. My only complaint is the lack of aftermarket filters.
#10 of 378 Just Checkin' In by jb03 Jan 27, 2001 (5:09 pm)
Hey Everyone,   My name is Joel and I purchased a Silver LX with Touring Package back in August 2000. It's been a while since I last posted but I visit the MPV message boards often. I currently have 7,800 miles on my MPV with very minimal problems experienced to date. This vehicle is definitely not the typical minivan and it definitely handles better than anything else in its class. Power is not an issue and mileage has been typically in the 21-23 mpg range (although I have noticed a 2-3 mpg decrease this winter possibly due to fuel additives here in Michigan).   I have been married for nearly 7 years to my beautiful wife (Shell) and have two of the greatest kids ages 3 and 5. I am a registered professional Civil Engineer who designs water and wastewater related projects in and around the Detroit Metro area. I enjoy spending time with my family and actively participating in the ministry that we attend.   Many of the posters here on the message boards helped to greatly influence our decision to purchase the MPV. My family and I thank each of you and we believe that our decision was a wise one.   On a side note, our MPV was officially inducted into the "scratch club" about four weeks ago when another vehicle hit a pothole on our wonderful Michigan freeways and launched a sizeable piece of asphalt onto the hood. Although we were traveling near 70 mph, thankfully, the asphalt caused only minor damage and avoided shattering the windshield.   Well, just thought I'd check in and I look forwarded to participating in this forum.   Regards,   JB
