This is what I thought, but was hoping for better news. :(
I really liked this car when I bought it and still do. I did not want to
take a helmet to the dealer and scare the hell out of him or have them
void the warrantee on the spot (Honda states in its manual that any
competition will void the warrantee). I enjoy driving it so much that I
was willing to over look something like fitting in it when I autox. Its
not that bad, but could be better. Thank god for the sunroof or it
would be impossible to fit.
Thanks for your input.
