Replying to: graphicguy (Jan 14, 2009 12:16 pm) Why can't they have the part sent in overnight? My BMW and Mazda dealers are almost always been able to get a part the next day. I took option "B". A nice new Aveo that I'm getting ready to drive back home, in hopes of returning and getting into a nice warm Tahoe. Bleh. Once my Mazda dealer was out of loaners so they called Enterprise and all that was left was an Aveo. It beat walking. Barely.

Yes, stating "nice" and "Aveo" in the same sentence is indeed an oxymoron. I don't know what I can say about them. They've got a steering wheel, 4 tires, a heater, and they "GO" (kind-of). I guess the best thing I can say about it is it probably drives better than a SMART car. But, that's not a compliment, by any stretch. Speaking of SMART cars, I saw not one, but two of them stuck on the side of the road (I-71) abandoned, yesterday. Tahoe has heat. Heading for home. Some mumbo-jumbo about this and that "module" replaced. Bottom line, it was all electrical related, not mechanical. As irritating as the inconvenience was, Tahoe has some of the best heated seats in the "biz".

Replying to: graphicguy (Jan 15, 2009 9:24 am) I was wondering about those Smart cars....haven't seen one with snow tires on it. I would feel silly going in and ordering 4 snow tires for a Smart Car, what could they cost $19.99 each? As irritating as the inconvenience was, Tahoe has some of the best heated seats in the "biz". I don't know how much better Tahoe heated seats can be. Any car I've had with heated seats seems dangerous if you forget to turn them down fairly soon...feel like I could get 3rd degree burns if I don't watch it.

Replying to: driver100 (Jan 15, 2009 9:49 am) It had less than 150 miles on it. He just couldn't stand driving in it.. three months, later, it sits on our lot. Never a bite on it and I can certainly see why. To me, it would be just one step better than walking!

Replying to: graphicguy (Jan 15, 2009 9:24 am) They're rear wheel drive, maybe that's why. There's a ton of them in vancouver, but we had them for about 3 or 4 years now. Many are used for advertising. I've never driven one myself though. |

Replying to: isellhondas (Jan 15, 2009 10:41 am)  For that price I think I'd go with a lower end Honda Civic, which at least sits 5 people and has a trunk.

Replying to: graphicguy (Jan 15, 2009 9:24 am) Living in Florida, really no need for heated seats. But last year I was in Dayton, Ohio on business in January and my rental had heated seats and I loved it. Definately a "must have" for the north, especially right about now  .
