Like most other pickups, the Mazda makes only passing reference to back-seat passenger comfort in the crew versions. Like most others, it's a bench seat with only reasonable legroom —not too comfortable on long journeys. Interior criticisms aside. the Mazda scores on the road. It has a better ride than some of its rivals, being less jumpy on thE road, particularly unladen, though we found the 2.5-litre engine reluctant to give its all below 1.800rpm. Gel the 2.5-litre 108hp turbo-diesel engine above 2,000rpm though and it is a lot more responsive.
