    Had one and fit a full-sized credenza in it - and shut the rear hatch. Too bad we don't have small cars with this fabulous packaging anymore. You want space, get a 10' tall Suburban.

    Growing up in the 80. Honda were considered troublesome cars in my country. Best car were Toyota and Nissan back then. I was shock that u lots praise the Honda reliability. And lol British cars reliability were a sad joke but rover had the most comfortable suspension in the world.
