How it scores for you10 scores
A rare compact minivan that's cheap, simple, and honestly fun to drive - just don't expect modern tech, crash ratings, or adult-sized third-row space.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; its only recall was not rated serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Limited history so far, so this score may move as more recalls are filed. Adjusted +4 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,700 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 48% of cars we track.
Cargo volume isn't published for this car.
Six-seat, three-row flexibility with sliding doors in a compact footprint; third row is kids-only.
Genuinely agile for a people-mover with tidy body control - the rare minivan with some Mazda spirit.
No touchscreen, minimal driver aids, and a dated cabin even for 2015.
Firm-ish ride and noticeable road noise; seats adequate for short hauls.
Typical resale value for a minivan.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
