Bestselling compact sport utility vehicle The Explorer Limited â€" introâ€" duced last February as a 19 1994 model â€" heightens the image of the entire product line. Ford dealers are selling all the Explorers that can be built. Powered by a 160â€"horsepower 4.0â€" litre electronically fuel injected (EFI) Vâ€"6 engine, the Ford Explorer has the muscle to tow up to 2,540 kilograms (5,600 pounds) when properly Conme hy Ano Daye Oue Toonay! 1994 Ford Explorer equipped. Fourâ€"door models can carry up to six passengers or provide more than 2,265 litres (80 cubic feet) of hauling space. Besides the Limited, the Explorer lineup includes XL, Sport, and Eddie Bauer twoâ€"door models and XL, XLT, and Eddie Bauer fourâ€"door models in twoâ€" and fourâ€"wheelâ€"drive. Millenia: more bulk at the haunches here are two versions of the l Mazda Millenia which differ mainly with the engine. The topline car is the Millerâ€"Cycle/Lysholm compressorâ€"equipped 2.3â€"litreâ€"engined V6 producing 210 hp thanks to what would otherwise be called a superâ€" charger. Unlike turbos, there is no power lag so you get ummph when you want it. Known as the "S", it also gets slightly larger tires with a 10â€"mm wider footprint. Mazda expects a majority of its buyâ€" ers (85 per cent I believe) to go with the standard car . Both models come equipped as stanâ€" dard with climate control, seat warmers, 220â€"lb capacity roof rack mountings, full instrumentation, dual air bags, tracâ€" tion control, anti lock brakes, remote mirrors with defog, and the lists goes on and on. Basically, every possible option is standard except the leather and power sunroof which is part of the leather By JIM ROBINSON â€"__ WITH _ MHILLERâ€" |__ CYCLE ENGINE INâ€"STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY package. The first impression of the Millenia is almost the same as the 929 Serenia â€" breathtaking. Some say the lines are sourced from an ancient Jaguar sedan. I know the stylist, Tom Matano, and if anything, he‘s into the Vignale/Pininfarina school. The 929 reminds me of a basking shark, smoothâ€" ly rounded for a single purpose. With the Millenia there is more bulk at the haunches (to increase trunk space, a weak point with the 929); but the prow is voluptuously fluid, set off as my test car was, in one of those new pearlescent metallic whites. The only transmission offered is a fourâ€"speed automatic with lockâ€"up clutch giving the virtues of quiet operaâ€" tion and smooth shifting of power to the frontâ€"drive wheels. The greatest strides have been in terms of sound insulation and isolating. This keeps rotating massâ€" es like the engine and wheels from intruding on the passenger compartâ€" ment. In short, it is very quiet indeed inside a Millenia. The standard engine is a 2.5â€"litre, twinâ€"cam V6 of 170 hp and 160 f/lbs of torque sourced from the MXâ€"6 sports coupe. In terms of noise and smoothâ€" ness of operation, it was already one of the best V6s in the world. Thanks to the extra care taken with the Millenia, it‘s even better. Inside, you get one of those ergoâ€" inspired instrument panels with ovoid buttons, tactileâ€"heightening knobs and flowing character lines. It‘s a comfortâ€" able place to be, but after growing up with cars that had switches wherever was convenient for the designer, not the operator, it takes a little getting used to. Ilimagihe my computerâ€"age daughter would feel right at home, if she was old enough to drive. Once again the sound system 18 so good, it‘s the kindiof car in which you wait a minute or two until the end of the song, before getting out. Truck space, well it‘s an improveâ€" ment all out of proportion to the 929. Instead of space for maybe two duffel bags, you now have 13.3 cubic feet. The other impression is something you don‘t notice until you drive another older car, and it‘s an almost total lack of wind noise. Several times I‘ve menâ€" tioned lack of noise and vibration, but it‘s something you have to experience; and I also advise taking along a CD to try the sound system on for size. Prices range from $36,500 for the base car with cloth seats to the allâ€" singing "S" at $42,400. My base car with the leather package came with a list price of $39,600. And I better not forget to mention handling which comes into its own when asked to approach the limit. Thanks to a turning circle of just 11.4 metres and fully independent suspenâ€" sion including a heftyâ€"looking multiâ€" link systems at the back, steering and response are just about as good as it gets in 1994. I have always found Mazda products to be soundlyâ€"conâ€" structed, stoutly reliable, and always a . little daring. I will mourn the passing of the 929 Serenia, but welcome the Millenia. In terms of build quality and features, it leaves little to be desired.
