A selection of reviews written by owners of the innovative Mazda Bongo campervan - also sold as the Ford Freeda.
"The Bongo drives like a car, can be used on a daily basis and is very versatile. We had ours converted for camping, it sleeps four at a push and two comfortably, add an awning and you have lots of space.
Bongo fury the owners club/forum is very useful for picking up info/parts, basically anything to do with Bongo's.
Once you have driven one you will be hooked."

"We have had our Bongo conversion for 5 years and it has never let us down. We have been all over Europe in it and driven in all weathers. Often referred to as a weekend vehicle, we are often away for 3 weeks with no problems at all. We bought it with my husband's retirement 'lump sum' and it has been the best purchase we have ever made. Minor disadvantages. 1. It is too tall for most height barriers. 2. MPG not great (20-25mpg)."

"We have had our Mazda Bongo a year now, and we are already looking at what we can do to extend her life (e.g. quality replacement components, waxoiling, etc).
She has a few issues, but most we can get fixed as we go.
The kids (6 and 4) both love her, and we have no problem getting them ready to go out when it is in the Bongo. Just cant imagine life without her now!"

"Great Vehicle
Easily adaptable
Cheap parts readily available
Loads of online support
The Mazda Bongo Friendee (also known as the Ford Freda ) is a great vehicle. It has a few quirks but the array of features far outway any of the minor issues."

"We bought our Mazda Bongo two years ago. We were looking for a people carrier but also needed something for touring abroad and with enough space to transport items to and from our holiday home. This was more than ideal its great to drive and easier to park than our car. We had some overheating problems but all it needed was a good Bongo garage. I can't praise it enough."

"We had a coverted our Mazda Bongo in the UK and loved it, we were very sad when we had to sell it in order to go travelling. The engine was great, we owned it for 2 years and never had any problems. The rear conversion was great, and having a fridge was a really good idea as you can enjoy a cold beer with a BBQ or your dinner.
We will definitely buy another bongo."
