I say that to myself all the time when people belittle the situation. I'm like am I really overly critical of the car. Is an entry level car suppose to have 10 different rattles buzzing popping creeking. Grinding apon start. Subwoofer rattle. Horribly cheap paint and weak sheet metal. If so my next car is going to be a premium car.When I tell people about the rattles, I get the same "Its an entry level sedan, you can't expect too much out of it". It gets me wondering, am I really being too demanding of a car of this level, or should we really not have to deal with shit like this?
I drove an LX loaner they provided me the first time I took it to the dealership, and it didn't have a single rattle. It was pleasure driving the car, super silent. I just want my car to be like that
That is exactly how I am thinking. Word for word. If I have to deal with shit like this at $23k, then I would rather spend $7k more to have something that causes me no headaches. If a car is supposed to be an investment, I should be making a good one. I know european cars are gonna have much higher repair bills, but if this car doesn't work out, I'm trading it in and getting an A3. Fuck dealing with issues like this.If so my next car is going to be a premium car.
You will NEVER find a car that causes no headaches.That is exactly how I am thinking. Word for word.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm young, 25, so I haven't experienced any of that yet (besides with this car).You will NEVER find a car that causes no headaches.
A stock/everyday car can NEVER be considered an investment.
I'm 24. My last car was a Ford Focus and that was a POS. By 5 years old it needed 2 throttle bodies replaced. 2 motor mounts. 3 sets of tires because it would wear right. Sway bar. The carpet in the passenger side was cut to short so it would rip up. The whole dash buzzed when cold.Yeah, I guess you're right.

Damn, sorry to hear that. I'm here just bitching about rattles...I can't even imagine having to deal with issues that also destroy my pocket...I'm 24. My last car was a Ford Focus and that was a POS.

I thought I was making a good choice by going with Honda but my mistake. Should have kept my previous shit box. Atleast it held up decent until around 40,000 miles.
Yea I have a list of issues with this car that once it's out of warranty I'm going to be worried. But I guess it's one of those things you live and you learn. My mother kept saying to me wait until the car is out for a while look into what people are experiencing and get a 2017 since 16 is the first model year. Didn't listen to her and got screwed. Oh wellDamn, sorry to hear that. I'm here just bitching about rattles...I can't even imagine having to deal with issues that also destroy my pocket...
