Larger vans (like the Grand Caravan) were almost always 120". With compact SUVs like the ones discussed here, the class hasn't been around long enough for the formula to be standardized. We've discussed this in other threads. Some examples of "small SUVs", like the Liberty, are truckish and heavy (to the tune of 3,800 lbs or more). Others, like the Forester, are car-like and lightweight (nearly 800 lbs lighter). First Honda, then Ford, and now others (Toyota) seem to have nailed down the general size. However, there are still wide deviations within the class in other respects. |

| Forester (hands down - if you enjoy driving, that is) then the RAV-4. Won't be caught dead/alive in a Honda; they truly scare the living poop out of me. I have one friend with a speech impediment and one friend without a father - both victims of Honda accidents. A Pilot driver's brakes just went out in Belmont, California - forcing his "vehicle" out of control - driving over about a dozen children. Most of the kids in the eastside ghettos from my area in California (Redwood City) drive Hondas, I fear for my safety and wonder how many are even insured. Between the reviews which make the CR-V sound as cheap as it looks, the weak engine, rollover issues and Honda's miserable styling - I don't know how any person could feel good about a Honda purchase. I wouldn't want one if it was given to me for free. Good luck. When I see a Honda in my rearview I get out of the way, fast. | |

Replying to: mugwomp (May 07, 2007 1:13 pm) http://www.iihs.org/ratings/default.aspx Subaru managed 3 vehicles on that list, Toyota zero. Not that Toyotas aren't safe, they just didn't top the list. |

Replying to: mugwomp (May 07, 2007 1:13 pm) That is the most ridiculous post ever. An old person, who happens to be driving Honda plows a bunch of people, and all over sudden, Honda is not safe. What about the guy in a Buick in Hartford, CT? or The guy in Toyota Avalon in Fl? Maybe, just maybe, the common denominator here is "old people"? And not the vehicle? Just because some people in the ghetto (read hispanics and blacks) drive Honda, does not make it a bad vehicle. I could just go on the same and say that because Martina Navratilova (lesbian) was the spokes person for the Forester, I would never drive one because it will make me gay. Doesn't that sound just plain stupid? Care to point to the roll over data on either Honda CR-V, Honda Pilot, Acura RDX, or Acrua MDX? I fear for my safety knowing that there is an ignorant person like this... Just to think that these people can multiply, we are doomed!!! Everyone should rent "Idiocracy", this is exactly what we see here.
