Nothing major. Bose sound system could be a little better. I'm used to the 200Watt Monsoon 8 speaker system in the Jetta, so a 5 speaker Bose system will get some getting used to. But it's very very decent. Like the 6CD in-dash changer though.
I just got the car 3 days ago. So far so good. Rides smoother than my Jetta GLX VR6 with the sport susp. and the 17" wheels. Despite having the 17" wheels and sport susp. as well. Cabin is decently quite. I'd give it a 8.5/9 out of 10. Car looks nice. Main reason I got it is because I was tired of all the little annoying problems my Jetta had. I think I made a very good decision. I'm enjoying. :-) It's as good as Lexus with out the $37,000 sticker. As far as the reliability is concerned, it's a Honda. We have a 97 Accord with 155K and its still running very strong.
Good luck with your decision.
PS. My insurance went down $38/6mo. from the Jetta!! What a deal!! ;-)
Great car in all aspects except one. TRANSMISSION! Went out at 13k miles was replaced under warranty. Went out again at 33k miles, replaced warranty. went out again at 65k, warranty.
Honda extended the warranty too 100k miles, but that is the cars mileage, not the trannys', so if you get one replaced at 99k and it goes out at 101k your on your own? I think they should own up to this issue and warranty the mileage on the tranny, not by the auto mileage. There is now a class action suit pending against honda. Otherwise it's a great car, very fast and handles fine.
Why do some go out at 13,000 miles and some go out at 60,000 miles or even 150,000 miles. Could this mean that the driver may be abusing the car more than others are? If I were working at Honda I would study these parts and see if these car are being abused or not (13k Trans failure). OH well, spose I'd better put saw dust in the transmission then complain to Honda it failed at 15,000 miles.
