Replying to: gagrice (Sep 04, 2007 4:35 pm) OK Gary, you'd better be ready for much more discussion. The 2008 Accord has also been designed with Active Head Restraints. Replies to this message: gagrice (Sep 05, 2007 6:53 pm)

Replying to: blane (Sep 05, 2007 2:14 pm) No, Honda better be ready for lots of complaints. I think the headrests in the Civic are the biggest problem I see posted. Sounds like they were designed with one size of dummy in mind.   PS The Accord has very little appeal until they show up with the diesel engine. Who knows I may be in the market. More than likely the Pilot diesel.
#1718 of 1765 What steps to take before buying a used hch by georgyboy Oct 13, 2007 (7:37 am)
I'm in S California and want to buy a hch (my first hybrid)off craigslist.   So far it seems like a car in the $15k range and around 50k mileage mark and around 04-05 is what I'm looking at.   Any questions you would suggest I must ask the seller? What should I be looking for when I test drive the car?   Thanks in advance for your advice. Replies to this message: gagrice (Oct 14, 2007 5:30 am)

Replying to: georgyboy (Oct 13, 2007 7:37 am) Welcome to the Forum, I would take it to a Honda dealer and have them go through it for you. Get a battery printout as to its condition. I would think with a bit of haggling you could get a new 2007 for about $21k at the end of the month. If you are paying cash and only have $15k your payment will be very small on the remainder. Interest on a used car will be much higher than new. In San Diego those years with that mileage dealers are asking $12k -$13k on Craigslist. For $15k it should be certified to 100k miles.
#1720 of 1765 A/C Performance in Summer by jaxs1 Oct 29, 2007 (8:38 pm)
Is the cooling performance adequate for summer in Vegas or Phoenix? Replies to this message: iridium130m (Oct 30, 2007 6:22 pm)

Replying to: jaxs1 (Oct 29, 2007 8:38 pm) I've had HCH I and II rentals in Pheonix and it seemed to do fine with the cooling when I was there on 107+ degree days for a car without tinted windows and a dark interior.   Just don't expect great gas mileage on those days though, think I was lucky to bust 33 mpg combined because the ima system does quite a bit to protect the battery pack from overheating meaning little assist or charge when its hot.
#1722 of 1765 Two HCH questions by downeaster1959 Nov 11, 2007 (6:44 am)
I just bought a new HCH last Wednesday - Magnetic Pearl - and I am very pleased with it. So far, in spite of colder weather and my HCH being new, my mpg average is 47.5 so far. It's big enough for me (I'm alone), and I like the styling and color scheme.   Two questions.   The first is about the tires - Dunlop SP31 a/s, I believe. There are only a few reviews on the Tire Rack web site, and they indicate that the tires are mediocre in rain or snow. What has your experience been? I know there are good LRR tires out there that are also good in rain and snow, such as the Nokian WR. I'd rather not buy a new set of tires, but I will if safety is an issue.   Secondly, the audio system. It's decent, but the sound is not as "full" as it was in my last car (an Accord). I see that Honda offers a "Bass Speaker System" for the Civic Hybrid. Does anyone have experience with that? Is it worth the price?   Thanks for your help!

Replying to: jhyler (Aug 11, 2002 3:50 pm) We have had our 2004 Hybrid now for some 53,000 miles and this past weekend we also had the Engine Malfunction light along with the Battery light and IMA light come on. The first visit to the dealer found a loss connection problem from a trany repair done last Sept. Drove the car home and all three lights came on. Drove back to the dealer and left the car. Now they are telling me that Honda tells them that the electronic sensors and a drive plate in the trany have to be replaced. 10 to 15 days for the repairs, and over $2,000. Honda said they would pick up the repair for free with a $100 deductible, which is good but I have a extended warranty, so it's free. Has this happened to any other Hydrids?
#1725 of 1765 HCH [downeaster1959] by 74apollo Feb 10, 2008 (1:18 pm)
Replying to: downeaster1959 (Nov 11, 2007 6:44 am) Just noticed your posting about buying the HCH last November. I'm looking at the same vehicle, same color. What can you tell me about your experience with it since your purchase? Are you satisfied? Is there anything you don't like about it?   When I test drove it, there was a slight lag when stopping at a stop sign and then taking my foot off the brake before hitting the gas. Is that typical with the Hybrid?
