But was it an EV or regular engined car? The weight is going to be the problem.
Another point is that road deterioration is s factor of vehicle weight, UK roads are going to be a real mess as more and more heavy EV's take to the roads.
My Jazz is a mk2, so not so heavy. Weight is not the issue though, Honda just need to supply a more substantial jack, perhaps one from an early CRV of Legend?
You make a good point about ev weight and the state of the roads. Not just limited to EV's though, all cars have gained considerable weight over the last 25yrs. Add into the mix the trend for portly suv's and chronic underfunding of road repairs, and it is a perfect storm.
All of that said though, having spent some time driving in eastern europe, I can assure you our roads are fantastic by comparison. Head off the highway in Romania for example, and you will never grumble at a British road again!
@sparkyPaul- I agree, I would sooner have done the wheel change and just be on my way. That said, it was a sunny day on a rural B road. A different scenario had it been a dark wet evening on an A road. The spare and jack give the option of a change.
