It's now been two weeks since the Fit was surrendered for the airbag recall. It seems to strange to use Honda's terminology "surrendered" with all its implications. In surrender I really have put myself (my car anyway) at Honda's mercy. Granted, Honda is providing another car, but I'm definitely feeling the surrender these days.
Concerning the Ford Focus, which I still unfortunately have, I've been looking that the back wiper wondering how to operate it for the past 10 days. When I got in the car most recently and backed up, the back wiper swooped across the window. How'd that happen I asked my wife and she told me she discovered switch for the wiper, but not how to turn it off. This is very emblematic of this car: it's got controls for everything that probably work if one could just figure them out (or sit down with the encyclopedic owner's manual, or YouTube). I tried to pair my phone with the Sync system a week ago, and thought I miserably failed until I made a call from the car yesterday and the call was taken over by Sync. There's a line in Harry Potter where somebody says "Never trust anything if you can't see where it keeps its brain." This is how I feel about the Focus, and lately, Sync in particular.
