the rear you can captain's chairs and benches for most family groups. The MPV does not have a slid- ing door in the middle. It uses a very large door instead. It's not a bad idea. but it can be a handicap in light places. If that happens, the rear hatch provides a gaping, alternative opening. I should note removal of the seats is not a challenge but they are heavy, so those with bad backs should take care when trying to cre- ate extra cargo room.

That's about the same price as a starter Quest which only offers front-wheel-drive. The MPV looks big because it sits high. The same sensation greets the driver and frontseat passenger. The middle seat was a two-place bench (or option three-place bench), with a three-seat bench behind.

If you want to get serious. there The other choice, and by far the most popular, is a 3.0-litre V6 with 155 hp and 169 ft/lbs of torque using a four-speed automatic but with electronically controlled oper- ation for good fuel mileage and smoother shifting. The test vehicle came with an AWD/4X4 system. In normal opera- tion, the MPV is in two-wheel drive. Flick a switch on the column- mounted shifter, and it snicks immediately into all-wheel drive. This moves power back and forth, to the wheels which have the most traction. net. It sure is better than coming to a stop, having your groceries slam into the net, and then boomerang off the back seat. There's a lockable bin under the front seat. I appreciated the new-design seat belt buckles which make affixing and removing child seats so much easier. The base engine is a l2l hp, 140 ft/lb transversely-mounted four- cylinder of 2.6-litres available only with a four-speed automatic with overdrive and lockup torque con- verter. WHERE MOI?

Mazda has been able to keep the cost of the MPV reasonable by get- ting most things right on the first It is times like this when playing a little extra for technology is worth every penny. Had this been l0 years ago in some monstrous American stationwagon. that drive back would have been white-knuckle all the way The MPV rides and handles like a big car. Acceleration is more than adequate and braking is certainly aided by IO-inch disc brakes at all four corners. I had use of the MPV during that last snow squall in March. On a trip to London and back, weather alter- nated between wet snow and light rain. That allowed me to use the 4WD systems to the full.
