CR-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=== ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ |

CR-V Design (glitch?)
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. -- BlackGT2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackGT2000's Profile: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...?userid=336868 View this thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=657989 http://www.automotiveforums.com |

So if the RAV-4's rear bumper is hit, its door and spare tire will escape injury? How do you determine that? -- Tegger 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.

Spare tires don't collapse and do lots of damage themselves.
