Understood.

BTW I've had more Hondas than any other brand but there are other cars I like in spite of them not being Hondas.

This appears as if it may be turning into a Honda love fest, but that's OK. This is the first one I've owned. What sold me was the fact of the room to ride with people, leg room to be specific.

I'm 6"5" my son is about 6'2" my daughter is a tall girl about 5'9"-5'10" and we have a buddy that rides with us sometimes who is 6'8". All of us in whatever configuration, can ride comfortably.

I bought the extended warranty and it took care of my air conditioner compressor a couple of summers back. This vehicle was bought in Winston-Salem, 90 miles east, and the dealership in my hometown honored the extended warranty and the work. It didn't cost me a penny, though the bill would have been $600-$700 with the labor figured in.

Other than tires and usual maintaining of things (tires, oil changes, front end alignment, tuneups) I can't complain. There's about 120K on it already and it runs as good as ever.

The lovefest is well-earned IME. I bought my first one back around 1989, used 86 Civic Si. Sold it with well in excess of 120k trouble-free miles to a friend who drove it for a few more years. Then a used 90 Civic Si (same record), a new 92 Civic Si (still have it, runs great with 215k miles (still has the original clutch), a new 94 Accord, then a couple of nightmare non-Hondas, then the 2003 Element EX-S. No major problems with any of them, just keep up on the maintainence, occassionally buy tires (we have over 60K on the Geolanders we put on at around 40k miles, the first and only tire replacement so far) and your golden.
