Re: seat adjustment
Belter!
I only have a 34" inside leg, and i can only JUST get comfy in the bongo without feeling a bit squished... I call it "Snug cruising"
I seem to recall in a past life that some bongo's drivers seats seemed to adjust more than others... I think i test drove maybe half a dozen with the seat fully back, then another till i realized i was actually comfortable!
So did some bongo's have different seat runner's or something?

Re: seat adjustment
Hi
Japanese Diet:
Rice and Fish
English Diet:
Pies, Chips, Burgers,Chips,Spam, Spam,Spam and Chips, Casseroles and Chips, Roast Dinners and Chips, Bacon'n'Eggs...etc.
English people NEED to be taller to cram that lot in!
Mazda Bongos therefore need less seat adjustment
Cheers

Re: seat adjustment
never got the point of the adjustable steering wheel either. in its "up" position , its still too low. why would anyone want it by their ankles in the "down" position?

It's so that little Japanese ladies can see over the top of it.

Re: seat adjustment
well if you steer with your ankles it frees up your hands so you can eat chips with one and burger with the other.
