"We test the new Civic, and toasters"

I suggest that Honda didn't suddenly redesign the Civic into a turd. So we had a customer who's had their 2012 Civic since April, and he called when he got his CR issue. He said he didn't understand; when he looked around the interior of his Civic he didn't think it was 'cheap'; he thought the both ...

Re: Tires or suspension

My 2011 S AWD exhibits a modest amount of bump steer but ONLY under specific conditions; I do NOT notice it EXCEPT under those specific onditions. I live in Vermont, in a snow belt, and picked up my car two days before Christmas. It was snowing. I'd had them mount my newish General-brand snows befor...

Re: floor mat retention clips

Mine, a 2011 S AWD, was delivered to me with its standard carpeted mats secured to its properly installed clips.
Good dealership.

Honda manual transmissions remain the (affordable) bar.
BMW and Porsche both offer slightly better feel.

Re: Suzuki Kizashi Tops ...AGAIN!

Exactly; the dealership I'm at sells BMW, Honda (which I sell), Land Rover, Mercedes, and Porsche (and adding Mini-Cooper before year's end), and the folks who have BMWs know better than to dis my 'Hibachi'. They know it's that good. Mine's over 20K and still perfect (except I noticed a rust pit on ...
