"Not Pleased"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Of all things, my radiator went bad at 100,000 miles -- this coming after fluids were changed religiously every 3,000 miles. The car overheated and because of that, I'm looking to get a new vehicle.

Also, are those not the most uncomfortable seats in the world??

General comments?

This car is "cute", but it is uncomfortable.

Is it really necessary to change the radiator fluid every 3000 miles? This sounds kind of excessive to me and may have caused the radiator to fault.

I can't believe you are upset with a radiator that lasted "ONLY" 100,000 miles. Are you serious?

You should be happy that after 100k that’s the only problem you are having. Just remember that the new cars are more computerized and that means more problems. Fix it and be happy with it.

Honda radiators are plastic not metal. 100k is generally when they fail as part of the process and your mechanic puts in a metal replacement.

Why wouldn't it be metal to start with? To risk losing an engine over this shortcut speaks volumes.
