I noticed the accessory price lists that were posted were made to look like a factory price list, but then I saw the prices were all over the place; obviously set by the dealers, not the factory.
We’re in Vermont where sub-zero temps are common in winter, so l was checking the cost of the...
I usually find it's best to go along with the factory's recommendation. My Mercedes CLA recommends 91 also. I used to buy Sunoco's super which is 93 octane. I figured it might add a little extra power and I would consistently get 39 mpg on a long trip, which is the EPA highway etsimate.
Then I...
I thought it strange, with the current price of gas, that I haven't seen anyone mention whether or not the new Integra requires premium gas. I was assuming that it would, considering that it has the same engine as the Civic SI and I believe the Civic requires it; but I was hoping that it might...
We live in Vermont so our rates may be a little lower than in other parts of the country; it's nice and quiet here. With clean driving records, no accidents, good credit, etc, we currently pay $370/6 months for a multi car policy on a 2014 Mercedes CLA and a 2015 Honda Civic EX coupe; $100 comp...
When I cancelled my first order after they finally revealed that they intended to add on a $2,500 markup to the msrp, my salesperson actually told me that the best thing to do would be to contest the charge with my credit card company; which I did and then I had the credit back to my account...
We didn't place the initial order in time for the NFT but don't really care about it anyway. My wife doesn't drive stick shift so it's the CVT. One nice thing did happen though... our dealer offered us $14,000 in trade for our 2015 Civic EX coupe (48,500 miles) but we were able to sell it...
It shouldn't vary by region but my salesman said that Acura is giving them very little information about actual orders or shipments. It's been a very frustrating experience for us. Acura's not making any new friends here. 'Just hope it was all worth it once we finally get our new Integra.
Honda/Acura builds a great car but they're far from becoming a true luxury brand. When we ordered our Mercedes CLA, our salesman gave us the tracking number so that we could follow it's progress as the ship left Germany, stopped in England, crossed the Atlantic, and finally landed in port in...
My dealer in Vermont has been great to deal with (I cancelled my initial order with a New York dealer who decided to add on a $2,500 markup) but even he had to confess that the factory reservation system was a complete joke. I couldn't understand why the factory was shipping dealers a variety of...
I need to buy a set of winter wheels and tires since a 12 to 24 inch snowfall in Vermont is a pretty common occurance. TireRack suggests downsizing to a 17" wheel with a narrower profile tire to plow through the snow. However, they told me that until they can actually get their hands on a new...
Regarding the Apex Blue/Orchid, Northeast Acura in Latham, NY has a manual sitting on their lot for sale plus two unsold Blue/Orchid CVT models on the way along with another Blue/Ebony manual with the tech package. You're in a different part of the country but that shouldn't matter as they're...
