Please review the following reports to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration-Office of Defects Investigation.

You may also want to review the Consumer Affairs site:

http://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotiv...

And lastly (if you have chosen Honda) read about the odometer discrepancies:

http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...

On Honda's behalf, they have decided to (after losing the fight) give extended warranties to those people who's warranty mileage had expired. And they are refunding excess mileage charges to lease customers. But to those who did not lease or were duped into thinking that their vehicles were getting better gas mileage than they were actually getting.....not even an acknowledgement.

Read the actual consumer complaints & decide for yourself if these complaints are valid, or if they are 'acceptable' defects to you. If you feel that you can live with these flaws or defects in design, then by all means choose the one that fits your needs & budget.

Answer 2

The CRV and rav4 are kinda small cars for a man of your size that's why we decide against it my husband is 6 foot and about 200 pounds a well. I think the Element is a better choice.

Answer 3

Police Interceptor
Fast, few problems, and preety new cars for a cheep price
I am a college freshmen and am 6 foot and 240 pounds awesome car

Answer 4

I would get the sedan.

b,c, and d are half-car, half-suv - which someone your size will feel like you are driving a go cart. Get a decent suv, like a Jeep or the new Toyota Landcruiser or even a light pickup.

Answer 5

I think you need something bigger than the list you have. Those are all relatively small cars considering your stature. I'd consider a Ford Explorer, Cadillac STS, Chrysler 300. SUV or full size sedan.

Answer 6

camry my dad has a rav4 and it is to small element dont have enough power and every that i know that has one dosent like it the crv is okay but i would rather the camry

Answer 7

go for the Camry, the rest are just a bit girly for a guy your size. The Element would be my second choice if you needed the space.

Answer 8

ha ha ha ha ta go ahead squeeze yourself in one of those or buy an 1992 Mercedes-Benz 600-Class very reliable, 400hp 6.0litter v12, cheaper than those cars originaly 150,000$!!!!!! now only 7,000 but for 150,000 it is held to the highest standereds of performance, comfort ect... also it the top ten most room in front seats list (number 6 )

Answer 9

u are big. drive it and see which one fits you. they are all fine cars.

Answer 10

I would choose an American car.
