Disgusted with Honda

I will never buy another Honda. Honda ought to be embarrassed to have their name on this car. Although I just bought the car last year, I have had it at the dealership to have numerous flaws repaired or replaced under the warranty: (1)windshield replaced due to distortions; (2) door handles and side mirrors replaced due to the lack of quality paint job; (3) front and rear bumpers painted due to lack of quality paint job; (4) the regulators in the front doors had to be replaced when the windows stopped going down all the way; and (5) the moldings that cover-up the front side airbags show gaps when it should be flush mounted.

I love Hondas because they are fun to drive and don't break. Over the years I've spent money on this one for oil, tires, tune-ups, cabin air cleaners, wiper blades, one transmission fluid change, and a driver-side door checker (the gizmo that makes the door stay open when the car is on an angle). I trust the car to work, and it has never let me down. The instrumentation is awesome, the seats are comfortable, the sound system suits me, and the visibility is great for a small car. It has lots of cubbies and storage inside and the trunk is roomy. My only two "dings" involve (1) cabin noise (it could be quieter) and (2) figuring out where in the hell the front of the car is located! The aerodynamic shape means the driver can't see the front of the car hood AT ALL. I solved this by driving around with a peacock feather inserted between the license plate frame and the bumper for the first two years. It was elegant looking and, more important, it showed me where the front of the car is! Nevertheless, I'm sure I have ground off the entire air dam under the front bumper/engine area as it is just too close to the road, parking standards, etc. Since it has not seemed to affect my gas mileage, I'm not going to worry about it. All in all, this is a GREAT little car. With so many on the road, parts and service are easy to come by if needed, and it doesn't attract attention (no speeding tickets despite a heavy foot). I've camped for five days with this car, including a spouse, a tent, an air mattress and foam pad, food, firewood, gear, etc. The sunroof option is perfect for hauling the odd long piece of lumber or PVC; I even managed to invert a 12-foot ladder and drag it home. This car is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Did I mention it is fun to drive? :)

I got mine Saturday, so I have not had a lot of time in it. I am 6'4" and I fit comfortably. So far so good, no complaints, the sun roof is nice.

Vibration on window side

I bought this car 3 months ago. I have no problem with handling, mileage, and reliability. However, I'm not satisfied with the build quality because there is vibration on the side door which I could not locate the exact place. It really bothers me because you can really hear the vibration.
