adw1977 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Yeah, I think Honda have cunningly concealed the rear doors. Probably more obvious in lighter colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayMK Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 2 hours ago, High Jetter said: Nah, 2 dr. Google checks out Honda's website shows all of the details, including the 'coupe' styling which features hidden rear door handles. No mention of a two (or 3) door version. Only 5 doors. Anyway, I don't like it. It's like a Nissan Juke with most of the ugly bits ironed flat, just leaving a dumpy, ill-proportioned look that we are supposed to admire.

Timewaster Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I have a real hate for concealed rear for handles. I just don't get it. Did anyone think the Alfa 156 was a 2 door coupe? No. Now these lifestyle bullshit blobs like the H-RV above and particularly the Toyota CHR have rear door handles almost in the roofline. Tiny rear doors and a low roof mean the rear is only suitable for children....Who can't reach the handle?! RayMK and MiniMinorMk3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to the East Midlands last weekend (i.e. richer that around here so stuff newer than a 15 plate ) and we were behind three SUV thingies at a junction sat up in the van cab- missus remarked that there were three identical marques of car in a row as we looked over the rooflines - they were actually a Skoda, Hyundai and (I think) a Kia at the front.

EyesWeldedShut Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I had a p/time job at the village petrol station (circa 1978 ish) where there was still an attended service. Had a hell of a job finding the filler cap on one of these (to the owner's amusement - but I did live in Hicksville). It did have proper door handles tho' RichardK, Remspoor and RayMK 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine a blushing teenager with petrol pump in hand wandering around the car whilst grizzled, Autoshite type driver grins knowingly in the background. XJ (6??) guy also got a laugh when I only filled up one saddle tank. Thinking about it - we did 4*, 2* and marine diesel - no DERV - changed days.

XJ (6??) guy also got a laugh when I only filled up one saddle tank. Thinking about it - we did 4*, 2* and marine diesel - no DERV - changed days. I had a job at an attended Shell garage on the A21. We did 2, 3 and 4*. We had a blending pump that mixed the 2 and 4 from the tanks. Luckily the DERV pump had a small lock on th elever so you didn't have to hold the nozzle when filling up the big trucks. It could take up to 5 minutes to do just one tank, even with the fast flowing big nozzle. Worst things to fill up were 2-door Metros, with their low filler neck. You couldn't feed them too fast as they would vomit the fuel back all over your feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
