Mazda MPV - aaargh!

Hi all,

Can anyone help! We love the new Mazda MPV we have seen but.....from
my research I see that the auto Mazda MPV (not Mazda 5, its called
MPV) was last available in Europe in 2004. My local authorised Mazda
dealer is selling a new MPV (2007) which is only available in Japan.
Its really hard to find out detailed info on the car as apparently the
brochure (in Japan) is not available in English). Ive asked dealer for
some more info but its all quite wishy washy as no one can read
Japanese! All Mazda UK can recommend is giving me the phone number of
Mazda Japan!

local Mazda dealer tell me there wd be no problem servicing it as they
have easy access to all parts etc but if I cant get used manuals etc
in English sd I be running a mile and not contemplating it?

We love the car.
Its the only one that ticks our boxes (only Crysaler Grand Voyager
compares).

If anyone has any helpful info as to how to get info on Japanese car I
wd be most grateful.
Thanks
Beccie

Those vans look pretty neat--we can't get them in the US either. Mazda
does sell them in Hong Kong as the Mazda8, so you should be able to get
English language information from there. Here is their English product

Good luck,
