Whole lotta nothing going on today. No contact from service, sales, corporate, or elsewhere in the Honda-verse. I've noticed more of the reported rental cars seem to be going to Nissan Versa Notes to have comparable vehicles in size and capacity. One person reported that the Versa had better MPG than their Fit. So far the Versa we have has comparable MPG, but pales in comparison in the fun factor. Others who have the VW jetta are really liking the solid feel of the VW. Same with the Ford Focus loaners--very solid with nice handling.
I'll be test driving a Ford C-Max Energi and Mercedes B-Class electric (powered by Tesla) tomorrow. The Ford has flaws given the battery incursion into the storage area. The Mercedes seems to have a full size storage area and very few flaws in terms of conversion from ICE to electric. But, it seems like every Mercedes I've ever seen has some sort of electrical issue--corner markers out, brake lights out, and the like. Can you imagine a pure electric Mercedes and the gremlins in the Bosch system? I don't know now much is Bosch, and how much is Tesla, but I definitely wouldn't own this car without a full warranty. I can only afford a used one, but they have warranties available.
Honda, do you really want me to be test driving every car in creation?
