Interior and Front Seat
Different is not a word to be used when talking about the inside of the RVR. To paraphrase a line from Henry Ford and the Model T: “You can have anything you want, as long as it is black cloth”. In all fairness to the RVR, the cloth interior is good quality and the seats are very comfortable. The front buckets fit me quite well and provided a decent amount of side and thigh support without pinching or making me feel pressed in. I did manage to bounce around on some of our roads enough that I was quite happy to have a form-fitting seat.
Tucked away in these seats are heaters that work very well, too. It is nice to see that Mitsubishi has made them standard on all RVRs. It took me two days, and a trip through the owner’s manual, to find the switches, and then my son comes out and tells me that he knew where they were all along, and I’m just being a bit slow on the uptake. By the way, the switches are located on the inside edge of the seat cushion down by the seat belt latch – duh.
Rear Seat and Cargo Area
Backseat space is pretty good for the size of the vehicle. I’m not sure I would want to go to Vancouver in the back, but around town it's great. I did have enough knee and foot room. Thigh space, and room for my upper body, was really good as well. What kept me from being totally comfortable was that the seat cushions in the back were a bit close to the floor, so my knees were bent a bit more than I feel comfortable with on a long trip.
Cargo space is what you make of it. With the backseat up, I could fit in groceries, golf clubs and the other necessities of an up-and-coming summer. With the backseat down, space improved to where a trip to the greenhouses brought home almost all the stuff we (read: my wife and I) might need for May.
