450 seems awfully low for a weight warning in a modern, mass produced automobile. I was really surprised to see that on the sticker.

It just a recommendation based on the factory spring rates. Nothing is going to break if you go over by a couple hundred pounds, just don't beat on it when overloaded.
Besides it's a Japanese car, they probably figured that 450 was the equivalent of 4 people.

My Honda motorcycle is rated for 450lbs. Adding the wife and a fair amount of gear, and we're over that. Never had a problem with the bike and how it handles... They probably figured 200lbs x2 + 50lbs in the back. For Japanese, it's more like 150x2 + 150 in the back...an impossible number! |
