    FYI:
    I've been looking at this very nice vehicle, but one design item will
    keep me from buying it just now.

    That is the lack of a second non electrical way to open the rear hatch.
    The only way to open it is by electrical means, the power latch.
    Tough when you store your battery jumper cables in the spare wheel well.
    Sure I could crawl back there while pushing luggage aside, but that
    isn't my way of retrieving my backup tools.

    There's always the old way - put the key in the rear door and turn it -
    always works on my CR-v

    This may not be possible for the OP. The very newest Hondas are starting to
    come with door locks missing, so his CR-V may not even have a tailgate
    lock.

    The new Accord, for instance, has no outside key lock on the passenger
    door. You have to turn the driver's door lock to "open" twice to make the
    passenger door unlock itself.

    Out of interest in the last 10 years how many times have you returned to
    your car to find the battery so flat it could not unlock the doors???

    I guess none

    My new EX civic is the same way, no trunk key lock, or passenger side
    lock.
