You are in the Mazda MPV Forum. Your Host is Karens
| You're having quite a little party in here! Congrats on your upgrade, I'm envious! Why don't you come over to the main MPV thread and share some of your exuberance with some prospective buyers. Steve's a great host, I seriously doubt he'll step on you about any *wifey* comments <G!> | |
| thanx for the comeback regarding my "vocal" expression of exuberence over my MPV and you're exactly right, i do have a tendency to go a bit over board!!! but, then again when you're 69 going on a 100 you've got to find something to get excited about, besides, it gives me an easy way to vent my "over the hill" hormonal urges and not harm any innocent bystander!!! | |
| i've been in and out of several MPV related forums over the past several years and for one reason or another, i've had to leave!!! but this time, with my current "love affair" for my new '02 LX in full "heat", i think i'll stay!!! besides, where else can i have more fun in a time of "emotional" need than with my fellow MPVers!!! thanx everybody!!! | |
| when i purchased my new '02 LX, i thought i would keep it forever and foolishly (perhaps) bought into an extended warranty and care and appearance package for what amounted to a "few" extra bucks, to say the least!!! did i do right or was it money down the drain!!! i'd greatly appreciate any "feedback" anyone can give me on this "sore spot" to what otherwise was a perfectly enjoyable transaction!!! thanx!!! | |
| i just got through reading through some old messages about the Dunlop 4000 tires and their ineffectiveness in wet and rainy conditions!!! i checked the sidewalls of my new '02 LX Dunlops and found out they are rated A in both traction as well as temperture along with a 360 treadwear rating!!! technically a great tire, on paper at least!!! but, i guess we won't really know for sure until we take it out into the "real" world of rain, mud, snow, sleet and ice, as they say at the "post office"!!! | |
| has anyone noticed that the engine compartment layout for the 3.0 liter version is much more accessible than the old cramped 2.5 liter Duratec was!!! all the fluid checks and refill openings are easy to get at and right where you want them!!! but then again there's the old plug replacement problem back against the firewall!!! what does one do??? hire a "pretzel" mechanic, at great expense i'm told, to go in and get at them or simply trade it off, like i did, before it's time to replace them??? and how about those high and low beams at night!!! for once you can see as far as the eye can see now in the dark!!! thanx Mazda!!! | |
| the MPV brochure mentions that there are 8 cup holders and 2 bottle holders available for use by the occupants!!! i come up with 11 including the slide outs!!! am i miss counting??? also i found the grocery bag hooks at the rear of the MPV, but what are the small hooks for underneath the assist bars on the back of the front seats??? | |
| since they have darken the window in the sliding doors, i've been experiencing some difficulty "seeing" or even being able to check the "blind spot" for cars when attempting a pass or making a lane change in traffic!!! anyone else having that problem when they turn their head to look??? | |
|
Are you counting the cup holder on the optional foldout table between the seats? That's probably how you get 11. As for the hooks on the assist bars - I can't say that I'll ever use them - they're for holding your purse! ;^) RBB |

| recently had the good fortune of riding in the passenger seat, for a change, while the wife "tooled" our new '02 LX "about" town!!! needless to say, i was as equally impressed as i was when i drove it for the first time!!! "try it, you'll like it"!!! also, i had asked our local Mazda dealer for his "Ad Plate" to be displayed on the front bumper!!! i felt i might as well let everybody know just where i had had the "good fortune" of buying it from as there our "far and few" MPVs besides me to be found on the road in our town!!! | |
