Here's my thoughts on your comments
3. Split level dash. Because my wife and I are different heights, we have to change the height of steering wheel every time we swap to drive. (Thankfully this is not too often, as I only drive it on weekends). Otherwise our sight of the two levels is obscured by the steering wheel.
A: I don't see how this is a bad point this is the reason the wheel is adjustable as it is in many cars ( only the other day I had to adjust the wheel of a courtesy car (Honda Jazz) so I could drive it)
4. Service intervals: 12,000 miles or 12 months. I only do 6,000 miles a year, why should I be penalised by having to service the car twice over two years, yet I would only have done 12,000 miles. Surely in this day and age the serivce interval should be based on condition/mileage, not just period over time.
A: Our Civic does about the same mileage (maybe slightly more) I would never consider not having my car serviced on an annual basis. The service schedule is actually 12,500miles (not that is makes much difference) but it is in line with quite a few other makes of car ( some dealers may offer a reduced service at a cheaper price)
Enjoy the car  |
Thanks Brodick. The point about the split dash, is that it's annoying having to change steering becasue of sight of the dash. For comfort over reach and height, I agree, it's important.
Re: the point about servicing, see my previous post about BMW 5 series CBS.
Thanks. Will post pics soon.
