Car Forum / Honda Cars / January 2007CR-V Design (glitch?)
Something I recently noticed while researching the CR-V as a possible choice. The rear bumper and the rear hatch. If the rear bumper is hit, so is the rear hatch and any minor or major damage to the bumper is nothing compared to the repair cost of the rear hatch. Suddenly the side opening RAV-4 with the outside mounted spare looks much more appealing. While this issue is a design flaw, it is yet another strike against the CR-V on my checklist. Comments? Suggestions? Solutions? Anything to help with my research is greatly appreciated! :) _________ ===fish=== ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <snip trolling> hey, why don't you go buy a ford? then get back to us about all the faults the cars you /don't own/ have. jim beam disrespectfully sez... > hey, why don't you go buy a ford? Welcome to the Internet, Mr. Beam. I am researching for my next motor vehicle and unlike you, I am an actual adult. So, until you reach the age where your parents allow you to get your learner's permit, just SHUT UP!! Freedom of speech. Don't like it?

No, you're rather pathetically looking for reassurance because you can't trust your own opinion. Please, do us all a favor and buy anything BUT a CR-V. We'd hate to read about your fiery death when you can't open the back hatch after an oil change. --Gene <snip> > We'd hate to > read about your fiery death when you can't open the back hatch after an > oil change. would we? I have owned lots of fords and haven't had any real flaws. My father owns a 97 chevy express van and that thing has doors that open into themselves. If you look at any of them that have the barn doors rather than the sliding side door, you will see creases in them.

So if the RAV-4's rear bumper is hit, its door and spare tire will escape injury? How do you determine that? SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ Interesting you would come to that conclusion. One of the auto magazines (sorry, I don't remember which) came to exactly the opposite conclusion when evaluating the previous CR-V and RAV-4 because in a rear end collision the spare tire becomes the bumper and the tailgate, as well as the surrounding opening, is virtually guaranteed to be destroyed.
