The Mazda Drifter, produced from 1999 to 2009, was a versatile and popular vehicle marketed primarily in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. It was available in both wagon and van configurations, offering practical cargo space and seating for up to 9 passengers. The Drifter was essentially a rebadged version of the Mazda Bongo, a successful model that had been in production since 1983. The Drifter was built on a rugged ladder frame chassis, which provided excellent durability and off-road capability. It featured a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, with a choice of either a 2.0-liter or 2.5-liter petrol engine, both offering decent power and fuel efficiency. The Drifter was known for its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and practicality, making it a popular choice for families, businesses, and adventure enthusiasts alike.

The Drifter's robust build and versatile nature made it ideal for a variety of purposes, including transportation, camping, and light commercial use. The wagon version, with its removable rear seats, could easily be transformed into a spacious cargo area for hauling bulky items. The van configuration, with its higher roofline and additional storage space, was perfect for businesses needing a reliable workhorse. Though not marketed as a dedicated off-road vehicle, the Drifter's high ground clearance and optional four-wheel drive system made it capable of handling rough terrain, making it a suitable choice for camping and outdoor adventures. The Drifter was a testament to Mazda's engineering expertise, offering a blend of practicality, durability, and affordability that resonated with a wide range of customers. While production of the Drifter ceased in 2009, its legacy continues to live on in the hearts of its owners and enthusiasts, who appreciate its unique blend of functionality and character.
