Test Drive: 2004 Mazda MPV

A few years ago Colin Hefferon was parked in a minivan, next to a Porsche Boxster. I'd been enjoying an espresso at a Vancouver coffee house opposite. I made a move towards the Boxster and then, being in a frivolous mood, walked over to the minivan and said "bet you thought it was mine." From that moment Colin and I became friends and a few months later, having realised he was a driver in the real sense and could write intelligently, I persuaded him to become an About test driver. The irony is that Colin was and still is a minivan fan, whereas I remain a skeptic, having raised my kids with a BMW 2002. So who would you rather believe in this 2004 MPV review? Yeah, right.
