1996 Eagle Vision Review

LH with a European accent.
Interior
While the exterior design has withstood the test of time well, the interior

functionality remains a benchmark for the industry. Every time we test drive one of

the LH cars we're impressed with how roomy and airy the interior is. The cars are

ideal for families as well as for business people who have to carry around clients.

The Vision is available with 5- or 6-passenger seating in ESi editions, available

with a bench front seat. The TSi comes with twin bucket seats up front. The rear seat

area is large, with room enough for three tall people to comfortably stretch their

legs out. Available for the rear seat is an optional integrated child seat built into

the rear armrest. When not in use, the child seat can be stowed and the armrest forms

a seatback for the middle passenger.

All seats are extremely comfortable. Outboard seats have seatbelts with

height-adjustable upper anchors so drivers and passengers of any size can easily find

a comfortable seatbelt position. The belts also can secure a child safety seat without

a separate locking slip.

Large, wide-opening doors make entry and exit easy.

The trunk also is roomy, easily capable of holding several suitcases or golf bags.

However, unlike some of its competitors, including the Taurus/Sable and Chevrolet

Lumina, the Vision does not have a rear seatback that can fold down to expand trunk

capacity for long items.

In general, the controls are well laid out and easy to operate. Power window

switches and seatbelt buckles are illuminated to see better in the dark. The climate

controls, located at the base of the dashboard, may require a bit of a stretch to

reach. The steering wheel has buttons for the horn, rather than a depressable switch

in the center of the airbag, and the buttons are smallish. Next Page
