This isn't the Honda AC problems discussion. That would be the Honda CR-V AC Compressor Issues discussion.

Replying to: nippononly (May 25, 2009 10:35 am) No worries about HUMMERs. Just drive right under them. Maybe duck a little. Replies to this message: nippononly (May 25, 2009 10:59 am) ateixeira (May 26, 2009 6:28 am)

Replying to: steve_ (May 25, 2009 10:56 am) And there I was hoping you were pointing to a description of some new Honda, smaller than Fit, that we would be getting in the U.S.! If only....

this little Baskerville.   Kia No.3   Today I found out the No.3 will come with a standard 6-speed manual tranny. This little subcompact would be a good one to make a return to the manual transmission with. I'd get the colors pictured on this No.3, too.   There's only one small problem, carnuts. The No.3's not coming to the U.S. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 25, 2009 9:31 am) plekto (Jun 25, 2009 10:48 am)

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Jun 24, 2009 8:18 pm) It's hard to tell the scale...is that Yaris sized, or smaller?   Sure beats the Korean-made Aveo5. Replies to this message: plekto (Jun 25, 2009 10:48 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 25, 2009 9:31 am) Its Yaris sized. Has a TDI engine in it, which is why it won't be for sale in the U.S.   It should get 46mpg or so, converting a similar sized TDI engine in another KIA/Hyundai in the U.K., to U.S. gallons.
