Great lil car suck in snow and ice

When in small amounts of snow and ice back end of car wiggles and scares me to death. Feels like at any given moment my back end is going to loose control. Not a great feeling. Other then that car is amazing. Update: car still runs and handles great. Still sucks in snow ice and rain. My husband is a certified mechanic and feels the problem is the tires are not cleaning out the water ice or snow properly which is causing the car to become unstable in incliment weather.

I really wanted to love this car. The hatch is great and driving in Sport mode is fun. I am so disappointed with the plastic materials. Within two months of purchasing the car a rattle started in the dash. I took the car back to the dealership. They kept the car for three weeks until the found the problem....the HVAC is made of plastic and parts were breaking off and were loose. The service techs told me they were having a lot of problems with the same part. Once it was replaced the rattle was gone. Within another couple of months there are now numerous rattles throughout the dash. I have given up taking it back in. Now I just turn up the volume of the radio and make sure the a/c fan is on high both to mask the rattles. I wish I had purchased the Sport model with the 8 speed transmission rather than the CVT. Except in Sport mode, the CVT is not very exciting to drive. Putting the car in Sport mode reduces the mpg by several miles. I will keep the car for another couple of months and then start looking for something other than a Honda. Honestly, having trust in a Honda is gone. I traded it in 18 months into owning this car for a Mazda CX 5. Probably will not buy another Honda. Very disappointed.

Making me pay to fix defective A/C

Honda installed defective A/C system and I had to pay to fix it. How about $2000! All the rest is from my original review and still true. My display freezes. Bluetooth dies. All problems are intermittent but Honda won't fix it. One or both of the computers running the cameras, voice recognition, Bluetooth, radio etc is defective and Honda won't fix. That's the old review. Now the new stuff: transmission is getting "glitchy". Shakes and rattles your teeth under the right conditions. Also jerks your neck. Piece of "you know what".
