2002 Mazda E2200 reviews

Mazda E2200 panel van 2002

Our first experience of the Mazda E2000 must have been back in the 1980’s and we bought 3. That’s when it had the small bumper. Kept them for 6 years then bought another 3 with the extended bumper. Each time changing them out after about 6 years up until 2010. when we have to sadly look for another van because the E2000 is no longer imported into the UK. It’s been so reliable, I didn’t need to look at any other van at the time and cheaper than anything else of the size. Its only draw-back is its lack of aerodynamics making it extremely difficult to keep in a straight line in light winds on motorways. Mechanically very sound. One heater matrix packed-up recently and the gears are a little notchy sometimes, seat belts down don’t auto rewind when getting out so usually get jammed in the door. other than that a very very reliable van. If we find anything half as good as the Mazda I’ll be lucky .....any recommendations?
