The trunk is a good size at more than 15.2 cubic feet, and the trunk lid is designed with hinges that do not impinge in any way on the storage space. The compact, lateral-link rear suspension system allows for a perfectly flat trunk floor. The 60/40 split rear seat folds to expand luggage space. The release levers are in the trunk, a plus for security and convenience, and the seats themselves are spring-loaded so they fold instantly with just one pull of the release. The engine is everything in the Mazda , and the available four-cylinder and V-6 engines offer something for everyone. Offering 220 horsepower, the V6 engine features magnesium headcovers, strengthened headcase cover, block-mounted auxiliary equipment, and variable valve timing. The result is more efficient power and greatly reduced vibration and noise. The four-cylinder engine also features precision gravity sand-cast cylinder block of high-grade aluminum alloy with cast-iron cylinder sleeves cast directly into the block. |
