Not in absolutes, but probably here more than anywhere else. I don't know if we have much more than the chicken tax. Heck, we give de facto subsidies to our competitors and then balk at aiding the home team. Still seeing "Now That's a Hyundai" a lot.
Honda will respond back with "Honda engineers deem this as normal as the battery 'may' drain according to the software update notice". Tell them that their engineers are idiots as it is clear to me that the software downgrade is the culprit for the even more frequent recals. Tell them to send your car to get a diagnostic and then have them print out the battery usage life on your IMA as this also happened to me and this was a direct result of the battery life degrading. It was at 23% and they replaced my battery. I would tell the reps/engineers that if this was a computer and it would periodically "crash" once a month, even once/week, that may be considered normal. But when you have your computer crash once every 10 minutes (most likely this is your situation), then there is a problem with your computer and it needs to be rebuilt. they have already "programmed" into their diagnostic testing that the battery drain "may" occur, so doing a diagnostic will not tell you that there is a problem. so it's the fox watching the chicken coop. this 'recal' amounts to your hybrid not being a hybrid anymore as it is always on gas and will not auto-stop at a stop.
I will say that eastern WA is a better place to drive than western WA. Less LLCers, infrastructure is smoother, people seem to look before they leap. Less newbies too, which is something that amuses me - people come from places where driving is chaos, rules are few and enforcement is lax - then they come here to enforced order and become chickens with their heads cut off.
I like both, drove them back-to-back at Zoom Zoom Live a few years ago, but the RX8 takes commitment to own, so think about it carefully. Miata will likely be a far more care-free ownership experience. I love how the rotary revs and it was quick and fun around the autocross course they set up. The back seat is useful for little kids, too. Still, call me chicken but I'd go with the safe choice - Miata. It's still fun, and quick enough to have me paranoid about all the speed cams here in DC.
