Mazda's attention to detail shows inside. The speedometer and tachometerare housed in a rounded instrument panel. Ventilation and audio controls,
cupholders and storage for small items are located front and center for
easy access. A sporty four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel houses
the driver's airbag, while the passenger-side airbag is above the glove
box. A rear air conditioning blower with separate controls adds to the
comfort of passengers in the back rows. A storage tray under the front
passenger seat is a thoughtful touch.
Other standard MPV features include power windows, doors and outside
mirrors, cruise control, tilt steering column, power steering, AM/FM/cassette
sound system with digital clock and four speakers, rear wiper/washer/defroster,
dual vanity mirrors and remote fuel door release.
All MPV's come with reclining front bucket seats. LX models are upholstered
in nice velour cloth, while ES models come with leather seating surfaces.
A key MPV consideration is choosing between seven- and eight-passenger
seating. Eight-passenger models use a second and third row of bench seats
