If it makes you feel any better, my "plebian" Honda dealer always gives my apparently proletariat Accord back in spotless condition after any service larger than an oil change...
#191 of 497 Plebian is correct! by FREDERICK May 23, 2001 (4:51 am)
That is exactly why we do not own one. Good car but plebian as well as the very obvious fact that they no longer sell a wagon in the States! Now go figure that marketing strategy. I'll get my 10 year old nephew to wash the car for a couple of dollars and stick with the Volvo. Even he thinks to Volvo is cool, what does he think about a Honda, I don't know!   Hey, I never said I bought the car because it was a Honda.

Yeah, I noticed that. Don't tell me the comment wasn't deserved, though.
#195 of 497 Squeaky Rear Seat by umnerc May 25, 2001 (11:22 am)
We recently bought a 1997 Wagon 850 GLT. Unfortunately there is an annoying squeak caused by the metal latch which locks the rear seat in the upright position. Does anyone know of any tricks for eliminating this minor annoyance?

Well, generally when I have a squeak like that, I try to reproduce it so I can see which parts are rubbing or bending to cause the noise. You might be able to see this by getting in the back of the car, and rocking the seatback back and forth.   You could then try lubricating the parts that are rubbing together, and causing the squeaking with a lube containing Teflon or a heavier conventional lubricant - like reel grease spray.   My 2 cents.
#197 of 497 my 850 and v70 problems by jav1120 May 26, 2001 (2:55 pm)
I have a 98 V70 since Aug 99, I bought it as a demo with 6K miles. The only problems I had were the blinker's contact going, one washer jet and a check engine light. This was all corrected in one visit and they even fixed my broken cup holder under warranty, (we broke it). My wife loves the car.   I bought a used 96 850 sedan with 35K miles and I had 3 check engine lights and a major oil leak. The leak was the main engine seal between the trans and engine. Good thing the car was certified or else it would have been at least $1,600 for all this work. When the warranty ran out I sold it. When I drove it it ran fine.
