Ya, most cars will run A/C for defrost...I run my A/C for the hell of it just to get the seals in the system some fresh juice...it's normal A/C maintenance to run it once a month for 10 minutes no matter what the weather. Otherwise the seals dry up. Just listen to My SiR, he knows....

As for your "problems" early production models usually have a few kinks. It is best to wait a while before buying a new model. Also the coupe is American built because of gov't regulations, hatch is built in the UK, and the sedan in Japan I think...?

Let me contribute something this time. I'm not sure what problems you may be having but I know of one person in the states who was having a lot of problems. Turns out it was lemon.

The problem has been in the past 2 weeks, the car hasn't started twice. I took it into the dealership the first time after getting a boost and they replaced the battery saying it was faulty. It happened again yesterday morning and the dealership is saying they can't find anything wrong with it. I don't leave my lights on or anything else for that matter, so it's just a big mystery as to why this is happening. It just seems a little strange to me that a car I've only had since October is already having these kinda problems, especially since before buying one everyone told me that they rarely have problems.

Oh and I have the silver one too...

BTW, did you know that Honda no longer gives you a courtesy car? Very frustrating...

Don't worry, I really don't think you will regret buying a Honda. I've never heard of such a person...just stick it out, and after 3-4 years when all your friends are blowing head gaskets and leaking oil, you'll be laughing. I'm a Honda fan forever... though I've owned/driven many vehicles, I would never buy a new car that was not a Honda or a Toyota.

Not many courtesy cars are left...

My cousin got a crappy courtesy car, Hyundai Accent 2 Dr from Enterprise, she said that it sucked *** (it was fun, 1 - 2 - 3 - D) at Richmond Hill Honda for a paintjob.

NM Honda has no cars for you except a passenger pickup/dropoff car.


Its probably some electrical problems within your car, tell them to check everything and demand a car to drive if its under warrenty.

No Ferarris, and Porsches, and BMW, and 350Z, and exotic cars for you!

I can't afford to even think Ferrari. Porsche - no thank you, read my thing of VW Problematic (VW and Porsche share tech and engineers since VW owns Porsche), no thank you for the BMW, I can buy WAY more car and quality for the price tag these things have.... M3 - no thanks, I'll take the Lexus IS430 and 350Z, well I had a bad experience with a 300ZX-T, but Nissan is definitely more acceptable than any of the junk that comes from Europe. SR20DET = Sil Eighty But Honda has an answer to all those cars... in one form or another. I can't wait for the return of the Prelude nameplate with RWD this time. Besides, the Honda robot and the Honda FCX, Honda Insight, Honda NSX, any Type R, S2000 and S500 .... Honda R51, Honda 929RR, Honda CBR F4i, Honda lawnmower even....these all speak for themselves. I need not say more.

either it's not charging the battery (alternator) or there's some kind of draw (short or something is running) that's draining the battery..
do you have any add-ons? (stereo, fogs, accessories that might use power??)

is it turning over okay, but just not firing..
or it turns over really slowly, then just pukes on ya??

or, is extremely cold where you are??
is the car parked outside??
where abouts are ya??

(tho mine's been out for 10 hours in the worst we've had this year to date and has always fired..)
