Replying to: ateixeira (Feb 19, 2005 8:07 am) I make it a point to drive the vehicle that I am purchasing, not a "demo"! No two vehicles drive the same. There have been times, where I have rejected vehicles from the dealer's new car lot on a test drive, and continued the selection,(from the dealer's stock), until I found a vehicle that I liked. If the sales person doesn't like this process, that is just too bad! It is my money that I am spending, so as such, I can select the new vehicle that makes me happy. Remember, the customer has the power, and the power is money! ---- Best regards. --- Dwayne

"No two vehicles drive the same"   In the case of NEW cars, I've never found this to be true! Replies to this message: wlbrown9 (Mar 09, 2006 11:53 am) ateixeira (Mar 10, 2006 9:02 am)

Replying to: isellhondas (Mar 09, 2006 6:54 am) I would think the main difference would be the wheels or tires...if there are problems with one I would like to avoid... FWIW, my '00 Trooper had some issues with the factory Bridgstones...dealer did not really want to deal with them, so the problems went away when I finally replaced the Bridgestones with Michelin's... If I had been able to test drive that vehicle..it was on the showroom floor, I might have identified the vibration and had it fixed before purchasing or choosen another vehicle.

Replying to: isellhondas (Mar 09, 2006 6:54 am) I had a job in college where we'd drive some fleet Rangers, every one of them felt different, had its own little quirks. On paper they were identical, but I could tell which one of them I was driving even if I'd been blind-folded.   -juice
