im not some kid driving mommy and daddy's vehicle either. you may have a few years on me, but cool your jets. i've seen alot too. i've EARNED my cars. my parents would barely let me touch their cars when i was under their care muich less buy me one or even consider ocsigning if i was paying for it myself!!! everything i have had or will have has been purchased solelyt in my name and under my own credit and under my own terms and under my own insurance, etc,etc, etc. i've sat back, watched, observed, listened to numerous othe rpeople of varying ages and what they have to say about their cars and dealing with the companies and dealerships. i know FAR many more honda owners who are overall much more satisfied with their experiences and their cars than other makes.my question to you regarding extending a warranty is an entirely valid question.you have failed to answer how that would rectify ANYTHING. and how the situation wouldn't re-present itself whenever that extended time frame expires!!! and for attacking benjiboy???? why?? because he has known other people with p[roblems with other vehicles that far surpass a radio problem????? or because he is much younger than you but has a valid point and you feel that everyone younger than you should bow over and kiss your butt because we MUST MUST MUST repsect our elders???you know what? you gove me reason to not respect ANYONE until they've earned my respect. older, younger, i really don't care.you have blinders on to the fact that i've said i don't have anything to bash toyota for. so for me being such a huge honda enthusiast, dont' you think the diehard would obviously lay the most bad claims to the closest competitor to honda??? aka TOYOTA???? why waste my time pulling out examples from car companies that alot of people hold very low on a reliability perch???? atleast i should bash the closest competitor. i can't believe how much this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. everything you're saying i'm guilty of you are atleast EQUALLY if not substantially more guilty of on your own behalf.and it is not honda as in the corp"cherry picking" who gets helpa nd who doesn't...... it's dealerships. you can't sit there and say you haven't had varying experiences, varying charges, varying willingneess to serve you as a customer depending on what dealership you go to no matter what brand of car we're talking about. despite having a honda name on the dealership, it doesn't garauntee that each dealership is run exactly the same. maybe someone should complain to honda about delaerships not handling things the same way. maybe that's where your complaint would be more valid. go to the source.and for the love of whatever you feel like worshipping, juyst back off and quit harassing every member on this board.
