I just put Yokohama Avid H4s on my 2005 4 cyl. EXL. Great tire. way better than the crappy OEM michelins. And I put over1K highway on them in the last week, much of it in the rain, and they did great. Check out tire rack for reviews. THey tested them against the Bridgestone (G009 pole? something like that) as a "sporty" tire.

Replying to: stickguy (Apr 18, 2009 6:58 pm) I've only had them since February so I'm not sure how they are in heavy rain, but in light snow I noticed a significant decrease in my car's tendency to slide around. It takes minimal effort to correct the slipping car with these tires. |

Replying to: derekgaddy (Apr 14, 2009 3:51 pm) That seems steep for a highway tire. My other vehicle's Bridgestone RE960 PP A/S tires were $100 under that. Regional mounting fees and disposal fees in addition to taxes might be some of that, however.

| Got a 07 Ex-L Accord and to my Surprise Thanks to my spouse im almost out of Warranty like this week. And NO $$$ TO BUY A WARRANTY so being this is the first time i have not had a extended warranty on any auto and im going to try to get a 2010 Accord in march is when i have 6 mos left on this lease. But honestly this is the best auto i have ever had hands down am i sh..... out of luck and out of alot of paper seeing i will be naked with no warranty until i get a new accord thanks guys | |

Well, a couple of points: 1) No, I don't think you should worry. Accords are quite reliable, expecially one as new as yours, so the odds of anything major happening (certainly expensive enough to cost more than the price of the warrenty) are very, very low. 2) Buying an extended warrenty for a lease car makes no sense in the first place, since you will logically never get to use it. I suppose you might be able to cash in some of the value at the end? But it still makes little sense. Either get a lease, or buy a car with an extneded warranty and keep it for 6/7 years. |

| Is There a such there that exist as automotive credit vs retail credit that finance arms of auto companies use. I saw a some thing from experian that says dealers have access to that info is that correct??? ps thanks for the info about the warranty im still tripping about being out of one though. Heck at least i do not have a gm or a ford or dodge thats 4 sure i know i would be ..... out of luck. | |

The little old lady across the street is selling me her '03 LX. It has only 23k mi. We're wondering if we need to think about replacing the timing belt and do all that 5 yr maintenance even though the miles are low. Would appreciate any thoughts. Her records show she had it into the dealer in Feb for maintenance but they just did an oil change and standard check-off. Thanks

Replying to: sarahap (Apr 22, 2009 8:46 pm) Also, check the tires to make sure they aren't dry-rotting (check for small cracks along them). Stuff like air filters should be changed at 30,000 miles. Hopefully she has the owner's manual? If she does, it'll have all the details you need.  Enjoy your (like) new Honda!
