The 1998 Mazda MPV, a first-generation model, marked a significant step forward in the minivan segment. Introduced in 1989, the MPV was one of the first minivans to offer a more car-like driving experience, setting it apart from the bulky, truck-based offerings of its rivals. This first generation, produced from 1989 to 1998, featured a sleek and aerodynamic design that emphasized its sporty nature. It came standard with a 2.5-liter V6 engine, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, providing ample power for its size. The MPV's interior was spacious and versatile, offering seating for up to seven passengers and various configurations for cargo. While not as luxurious as some competitors, it offered a comfortable and practical cabin, with features like power windows, locks, and mirrors becoming more common in higher trim levels. The MPV's compact size and maneuverability made it ideal for urban environments while retaining the spaciousness and versatility synonymous with the minivan body style.

Beyond its everyday practicality, the MPV of this era also offered a surprising amount of driving enjoyment. Its relatively low center of gravity and well-tuned suspension provided a more responsive and engaging drive compared to other minivans, making it fun to handle on winding roads. The MPV was also available with features like a sunroof and leather upholstery, further enhancing its appeal. However, the 1998 model year marked the end of the first generation, paving the way for a redesigned MPV with a more modern and refined platform. Despite its age, the first-generation MPV remains a reliable and practical vehicle, making it a popular choice for families seeking a comfortable and spacious minivan with a touch of sporty character. The 1998 Mazda MPV service and repair manual, a comprehensive resource for owners and mechanics alike, offers detailed information on maintaining and repairing this iconic vehicle, ensuring its continued operation for many years to come.
