our family has a 1992 mazda mpv and i feel it has served us well, but my parents weren't really satisfied with the power / braking. as a passenger, i really liked it though, because the middle row was a bench seat so i could lie down with my feet dangling over the edge. you can like down in the back but it takes up the entire width of the car so you have to put your feet up on the window or lie with your knees up. but because the middle row is only 2 seats and there is space between it and the door, you can lie down comfortably.
