  • LX (specifically LX) spaciousness for cargo hauling

    A little-talked-about feature of the LX interior is the ability to remove the front seat headrests, slide the front seats foward, tilt them back, and have the top of the seat just clear the folded-down rear seat -- everything's totally flat.

    See what I crammed in, also taking advantage of the split rear seat. It's a carboard box containing a wooden crate containing the rear 5 feet of a Cessna 170 fuselage. I'm USMailing it (the crate, not the car) to Alaska.

    A few years ago, I hauled an entire 180hp 360 cubic inch Lycoming airplane engine (4-cylinder horizontally-opposed air-cooled, like old VW engines, but much larger) in the back of this same car with the front seats in their normal upright position

    Wow, that's pretty cool! Now that I think about it, I bet I could do the same thing with my girlfriends '90 Mazda 323. Worth a shot in case we ever need the extra space!

      i love my 90lx for this feature... it also makes a wickid bed and the roof is your tent so when you get to the camp ground you just shove all the stuff to one side and sleep

        It looks like your rear seat folds back? Mine fold to the front, and aren't completely flat when folded.

          All the rear seats fold back. Undo the two seatback latches, push forward on the seat bottom, have the seatback come backwards under the two hooks on the strut towers, and you're done.

            Also the when the rear seat is folded you can pull up on it and the whole thing flips forward one more time.
