Should have gone to a dealer that doesn't sell anything but hondas....When we had to take the RSX-s in for Warranty or other service that took longer than a few hours we got a TL-s.

speaking of Kias, your chance of getting a Kia rental are a lot higher than in the past. with Ford, Chevy, and Chrysler not wanting to have their cars come off as cheap rentals they are not fleeting out their cars like they used to, so Kia, Toyota, Nissan, and all the other Asian car companies are starting to taking over the market share the american car companies used to. Honda is the only Asian car company that will not fleet out their vehicles. you might see a few as rentals but thats just dealerships selling them to dealerships only to buy them back once they hit a certian milage level.

It was a rental, not a loaner. They don't give loaner cars for some reason.

$0.00

Warranty till 100k miles or 2010 FTW.

They also fixed my creaky clutch pedal and the car drives about 100x better now. They had to lubricate the spring and slave cylinder.

Honda won't cover that I'll take a pic when I think of it. The backside of the inner spokes are peeling up a bit maybe like 1/4 inch above the plastic trim for the controls. It's not a big deal but it's irritating.

Honda wouldn't even cover new brake pads, just the caliper :screwy: But the used car manager approved it because it's bogus.
