I wish the car manufacturers would make speed alert a standard feature. My 1996 EFII Ford Fairmont had it, and it was a great feature. I sure miss it.

Well that is great. Strange they dont advertise the fact in the specifications.

Thanks UNLS. If my local dealers would only be mroe helpful doing a deal I would luv to buy one. lol

Hmm yes when I had the test drive the other week the salesman asked ME if I knew if you could play DVD's on the Sat Nav screen.. I advised him it isnt a current feature lol..:o

lol, i guess for some its just a job to pay bills, it is and i can see why some dont have heaps of know how about lil things, i guess some of us know more coz we love the industry and what we sell!
also we are car enthusiasts too!

Well, now my car is now 10,000kms old.

I got no problems with it, and it is still quiet as. No squeaks or groans, nothing.

Fuel usage is definately a damn lot better than my old CL9. I seem to be getting about 6 - 7L / 100km on the highway, and around 10 around town. It is hard for me to judge the around town though, as most of the driving is highway.

One thing I absolutely love is the accuracy of the cruise control. it really sticks to the speed you set it at, and doesn't deviate from it.

The motor is freeing up nicely, plenty of power on tap. I'm still amazed that this is only a 4 cylinder. It goes better than the Falcon 6 cyl work car that I drive home very often. And that Falcon gets a flogging.....

I can't for the life of me replicate the pinging problem that the auto CU2's supposedly have. I always use BP ultimate 98, and I gave my car a good break in.

I think the only thing I don't like about my base 6MT is the front door trims seem to mark up easy. I believe it gets a lot of foot marks from getting out of the car. The interior is definately harder wearing than my old CL9. That is what Honda set out to achieve with this new fabric, and that's what I got. The interior is still brand new. The front seats are still brand new. No marks, creases, nothing.

Everything's fine, still a proud Honda owner! :cool:
