Has anyone purchased the Honda auto dim mirror for their Accord? If so, do you like how it functions? Thanks. Replies to this message: lx_steal (Aug 17, 2005 10:31 am) rtomkinson (Aug 26, 2005 7:05 pm) midnightcowboy (Aug 19, 2005 5:22 am) cmr530i (Aug 20, 2005 11:48 am)

Replying to: richards38 (Aug 14, 2005 1:09 pm) All paints fade and deteriorate when exposed to sunlight. Dark colors merely make this change more obvious. The grayish "rash" may be from improper washing or automatic car washes with brushes. While clear coats have considerably improved resistance to oxidation, protection with wax or polish is necessary for all surfaces. Only organic materials "rot". Metallic or pearl paints may have standard mica mix instead of aluminum flakes.   Each type and color has its advantages and disadvantages. "Soft" colors, i.e. whites, blues, greens, maroons, etc. fade considerably. Removing part of a pinstripe will prove this to any doubters. Few people consider what future repairs will look like. Sooner or later, all cars suffer some type of surface damage. Dark colors are the easiest to match. The lighter colors are much harder and require blending. White is extremely hard to match for a number of reasons. Gold and silver are the hardest to match. It is especially easy to see when one of these cars has a repainted bumper cover.

#17694 of 20236 Article: Honda caught inflating HP numbers, forced to come clean by tomzpri Aug 17, 2005 (8:46 pm)
fyi...Toyota and Honda just got caught inflating horsepower numbers and are being forced to come clean and report the true HP numbers.   Does anyone know what the real HP numbers are on the Accord? Its not listed in this article, but based on the other Hondas reported, it will probably be lower.   Toyota, Honda inflated claims of engine muscle; new tests force automakers to come clean with buyers.

#17695 of 20236 Actually... by gee35coupe Aug 17, 2005 (9:11 pm)
The Accord still has more power this year than last year. It's just that they thought they would be able to get 170 hp this year. Honda rolled it back to 164 with the new procedures. What Civic has 200hp? Not one anyone has bought in the U.S.   The article clearly says that this is due to a procedural change in testing. I think the most important sentence is.. "Honda spokesman Mike Spencer predicted it would take a few years for customers to understand the changes, but eventually all manufacturers will be using the new SAE tests. "We've been using SAE procedures all along, it's just that SAE changed their procedures," he said."   If you can comprehend what he's saying, you understand the this article is a serious case of making a mountain out of a molehill.
#17696 of 20236 How much for a 30K service? by slawenda Aug 17, 2005 (11:13 pm)
I am due for my 30K miles service on my Accord V6 sedan (04). I know what you're thinking -- so many miles, so fast! Well, yes.   Anyway, how much should I expect to pay for the service if done at the dealer? I am worried that the dealers try to take advantage of us on these things. How much did you pay? Do the dealers try to "recommend" services above and beyond what the owners manual suggests? Should I make a stink if my dealer insists on services not mentioned in the manual? Much appreciated.

Don't be concerned. Get what the manual says from the dealer. You'll have a chance to get the complete look-over before your 3/36 runs out. They can offer all they want. They can't make you get services you don't want. If you see what you need from the manual first, their arguments lose steam. Ask why you need a service that the manual does not recommend. You might learn something and they might gain a repeat customer or at least stop "yanking your chain". My experience has been that they do add some services as they put the 30k service into a package deal. I've never had a problem getting them to break the package down and show me what these things would cost separately. You really do have some power and they know that there is competition for your money.
