Last night a friend and I drove the Ep to the clup, his first time in my car. I threw a couple sharp turns at him plus railed a couple on ramps, allthough he seemed resonably impressed; this guy is not a car guy=drives an iced out '00 Maxima. I found that the passenger side area does not have an ooH Poop! handle:eek: The rear portion of the cabi does, but why on earth in a car like this does the front pass not get one. My friend kept saying ok-ok man I have nothing to hold onto you can cool it now! I think the last Ford Taurus I rented even had an oh-poop handle at every passenger outboard position........to be cont.

I entirely agree, I don't care how ugly, it needs to be there. they could have put it into the headliner, I'm sure even a dx regular Civic has one there.

I think this might be the only gripe I have with my car, other than rearward visibility is challenging while parking at times,

yeah, i agree with you guys that it would be nice to have one. i was so used to holding on to it that when i sat in my car, i made the motions, but nothing was there. must be a reflex action or something. anyways now i tell people to hold on to the door handle.

Two ways to fix it --

- Drive more courteously with a passenger;
- Have a passenger that doesn't whine so damn much.

:p

IMO, well bolstered seats negate the need for an oh shit handle.

so far, when i've ridden in my friend's si, this holds true.

Shit.. and people already complain how much the EP weighs. Why add more weight with a grab handle? And that's highly placed weight, further effecting our center of gravity.

I follow your thought trail, but the reality supersedes this notion, if not true passengers would not say anything, am I right dawg?

i guess it depends on how big you are. guys never complain about sliding around in the seats as their shoulders usualy sit squarely between the bolsters. but i do get complaints from girls, my g/f in particular b/c her frame is much smaller than what the seats were apparently designed for.
