I was on the forum in August and enjoyed it very much. I was looking at the E but the wife was looking at the CRV. After we got our CRV I found that with my back problems I could not drive it for more that an hour or so. I had taken an E for a short test drive back in August but we got the CRV. Then after I found the problem with the CRV I thought the E would be the same.
I had to put my Truck in the shop last week and by chance a friend was going to be out for town and said I could use his E. I thought I would have the same issues as I have with the CRV hurting my back. But I was not going to drive it much so I took him up on his offer. I was surprised to fine it had more leg room, I could put my legs out straight, and the seats did not hurt my back. So I am about to become an E owner. I am going tomorrow to see what I can do on a 07 or 08 E, LX. I am sure I will come home with one. I am looking forward being active on the forum.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I Guarantee you'll come home with a shiny ride and a goofy grin on your face!:D
Take a pic at the dealership, I love those dealrship pics, wish I had taken one when I got mine, I drove home and stopped about 2 blocks from home when I got out and took one of mine:)

Seriously- Carve - the E seats make my back feel OK - top quality.

(I could play the part of a famous back doctor to convince the wife you need an E!! :) )

I am the proud owner of a Silver LX, Auto, with side steps. Your right, the seats are very comfortable. I just put in my gas fill up. I am doing just a little over 19 mpg city driving. My wife and I drove all over Mobile yesterday. It is fun to drive.
