    There was no leg room at all behind my seat. Had I wanted to drive cramped up to the wheel then it would have worked but that's not the point. The lack of rear leg room didn't kill the deal the driver's bottom cushion was the culprit. Folks there's no reason to defend the car, I'm sold on it...

    Meguiars NXT 2.0 Wax A++

    I agree that NXT 2.0 uses fillers in spite of what they claim. Not that it's necessarily bad but I would rather they be truthful about it. If you appreciate the look of a carnauba but want the durability of a sealant it's impossible to beat the Collinite line of waxes. Their Insulator Wax is as...

    I'll be calling around next year to see if someone can modify the bottom seat cushion to suit me, I haven't given up yet. I wish a safe new year to all and thanks for all the help.

    Ha Ha! That's what I had to do in the Corolla I had, it got old quickly.

    I'm happy for you but it didn't work for me at all. When I had the driver's seat adjusted for me my 5'3" gal couldn't even sit behind me. You must be very flexible. No matter because I didn't expect the back seat in a compact car (any compact) to be of much use. The too short (once again...for...

    Support in the back and bolsters were wonderful. Just the seat bottom itself killed me. The driving experience itself was beyond compare. I drove the GT but the shape and size of the seats are identical on both models only the material differs. What a pisser!! I'm looking into the possibility of...

    OK FOLKS HERE'S THE SCOOP. It's a no go and here's why..................... The seat base is way too short and not high enough so zero thigh support. About halfway through the test drive my legs began to ache and I knew the outcome. When we returned to the dealership I sat in the Accord for...

    Bill, To me those are very good figures especially considering the 10% ethanol mix and air on most of he time. I won't have to deal with the E10 but will run the air as often as you do. Thanks for the information.

    Yeah, that's only another ten bucks or so right? :) Thank you one and all for your help. Test drive is tomorrow.

    Have any of the folks that think their air conditioning system is marginal to poor been back to the dealership with a complaint? If so did any good come of it? Undercharged/overcharged maybe? If you live in an area when July is near 100F and the humidity is 85+% you certainly understand why I'm...

    Any problem finding premium fuel in Mexico? Matamoros is just the other side of town from me, I'm in Brownsville.

    THAT is music to my ears, I'm only a couple of years behind him and live in a similar climate.

    I'm not aiming for any particular MPG just curious if folks do better than the EPA's predicted 18/26 after break in is complete.

    Thanks. Is that a mix of town and highway?

    That is good news indeed. I'm not a fan of auto climate either but it comes with the package. Let me ask something else------------ If driven easily can you squeeze out a few more MPG than the EPA rated mileage? Is upper 20's maybe even 30 possible on the highway with a careful right foot? I...

    Thanks, I appreciate your assurance. Let's just hope that I can fit in it. I'm old enough to be the Dad or Grandad to many here so my car criteria is much different than most on this forum. I'm an old fart hotrodder and I just can't help it!

    This is all very reassuring that the a/c will hold up to the south TX heat & humidity. Dealing with the cabin air filter looks to be a hassle but I guess you can't have it all. Thank you to all that took the time to answer.
