CR-V question
E Meyer respectfully typed:

Personally, I was shocked that the Honda service center was closed on a Saturday, while the Toyota Service Center was open. I kind of have an idea of which vehicle I am leaning towards. I might rent a vehicle for a day and drive it on the highway (not something I would do on a demo test drive), then when I am ready to take the official test drive, I will have real world knowledge. _________ ===fish=== ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ |

You ARE aware that the dealers are *NOT* run by the auto maker, right? Your dealer is an independent franchise. My local Honda dealer is open every day but Sunday, and the service department is top notch. I rarely use them, though, since my car has never broken, and they are too far away for normal maintenance... |

The three times I've been in there in 12,000 miles, they were extremely accommodating. Two free oil changes while I waited and on the third visit, they did a four wheel alignment and replaced a defective plastic cargo hook in under an hour while I waited. Although I did call ahead for appointments, I haven't need one. Free car wash and Starbucks coffee every time. I don't know if they are open on Saturdays - being semi-retired, I don't have that problem anymore. About the only issue I have with them is the fact that they are 20 miles away. The car is showing itself to be unlikely to need any further visits for dealer service for a long time. Now that I've used up the free oil changes that came with it I'll start doing them myself. so barring some major mechanical catastrophe while its under warranty, I doubt I'll see the place again. > > Personally, I was shocked that the Honda service center was closed on a > Saturday, while the Toyota Service Center was open. > > I kind of have an idea of which vehicle I am leaning towards. > > I might rent a vehicle for a day and drive it on the highway (not something > I would do on a demo test drive), then when I am ready to take the official > test drive, I will have real world knowledge. Not a bad idea at all. Talk to the dealers, they might just give you one for a day. When I started looking, the 4-cylinder RAV-4 looked better on paper (more horsepower, features, etc.), but after driving them both, the Honda just felt better - it had a tighter feel & seemed more responsive despite the horsepower numbers. At the time I was shopping, the V6 Rav4 had just come out and the one dealer that had one was so overtly sleazy that I never got to drive it ("we have to run a credit check be allowing a test drive in case you steal the car"), or the decision might have gone the other way. > _________ > ===fish=== > ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ > > |
