#51 of 4704 re: Blind Spots by dstiny Mar 28, 2002 (12:32 pm)
Point taken rsholland.   There seems to be a good share of parking lot accidents regardless of blind spots because so many drivers just do not pay attention to their surroundings. You might have to be a little more careful in the Element, but I believe most good drivers will know they need to take more care in turning and backing up. On your side, I suppose the blind spots will make it easier for careless drivers to get into trouble.   I will be at the NY Auto Show this Saturday and hopefully there will be an Element on display with both seats stowed. I'll try to check out how much rear window can be seen above the seats and how large the side-view mirrors are.
#52 of 4704 Precisely my point. Thank you. :) by rsholland Mar 28, 2002 (12:53 pm)
#53 of 4704 I like it! by ateixeira Mar 28, 2002 (2:11 pm)
Thumbs up. For once, the design is exciting, eye catching, original. Function over form, and there's beauty in that. You get excited about the shape, not just VTEC or some other acronym inside.   I like the tail gate, the suicide-style doors with a huge opening, the spare tire that's stored inside, the hole for tall cargo, and the price range ($16-21k is impressive).   Dislikes? Seats only 4, this takes it off my list (2 kids and a nanny, need 5 seats).   Note to hosts: can we rename the topic "Honda Element" now that we know the real name?   -juice

Where's the spare tire? I thought that was another picnic table, a la CR-V.

Probably under the table, like the JDM Fullmark.

Thanks for the topic name change suggestion Juice.   Just how safe are those suicide doors going to be? Steve Host SUVs, Vans and Aftermarket & Accessories Message Boards

As safe as suicide doors can get. Honda says that it expected a 5-star government rating even with those doors. I don't doubt their claim, but I still wouldn't want to be caught back there in a crash. The lack of a pillar there just doesn't inspire enough confidence for me.
#58 of 4704 "suicide" doors by theracoon Mar 28, 2002 (4:41 pm)
Reminds me of the crew cab/extra cab mini-trucks with their 3rd doors. How do they rate for side impact crash ratings?
#59 of 4704 that hole in the roof by subzero206 Mar 28, 2002 (7:53 pm)
ok why did honda put the hole in the rear part of the roof? i doubt many people are gonna be carrying anything that tall... it woulda been wiser to move the hole up above the front passengers so it can be a moonroof.

Because it's more fun there.
