Hello again Dan,
We will agree to disagree about the quality issue as Honda, sorry, Swindon expect every man to do his duty while flying the Honda flag above the garage. But having had Audi's, Beamers and VW, they all have one thing in common - a solid no nonsense chunky feel which is my first and lasting impression of German build, which was lacking in my Honda.
As for phone kits, I have always had Nokia kits, which charge as you go and when changing phones, all I do is buy the relevant Nokia holster on line for £20. The complete new kit I am having fitted is Bluetooth 2 compatible, completely legal, NOT a factory fitted kit, which as you say is obsolete before it even leaves the factory - I do my homework as well Dan.
My last kit which I left in the Civic lasted 4 years and it was the fitter who said the hassle and work involved in taking it out the Civic MAKES IT UNECONOMIC, hence the Bluetooth 2 kit going in next week.
Most of my comments on this website are as you may have noticed, are very much tongue in cheek and it is amusing how serious some guy's take it all - they walk right into it. I respect your views, as you have the advantage of hands-on in both camps and your loyalty is well placed. I am an Electrical Engineer who supplied an Italian brand of dental equipment for many years and you accept the built-in faults that every brand produces. That's what guarantees are for!

Cheerio Dan,
Eddie the Jett.
