I hate that I made the practical adult decision to buy a “reliable” car and drive it until it can’t drive anymore ... and every week I feel like another recall is waiting to be announced
So glad the first car I ever purchased/owned was a 2018 Honda .... you know, for its practicality and reliability
Cant wait to dump this POS as soon as warranty expires. Such a joke.
for those who drive low miles, is it wise to change oil / perform maintenance every 6 months or so - or just go on with life and listen for the MM to pop up?
i feel like I could probably go a full year without scheduled maintenance if I just followed mileage.
Yeah; but at least you’d have this paperwork to back up warranty ... my only reason for going to the dealer this time around
I do have a trusted local mechanic for oil/filters/tire rotation ... B seemed a little more complicated when I initially read the manual
So B maintenance isn’t all that complex? I remember seeing in the manual that the list of items to “check” was rather extensive, could be mistaken though. My dealership has a “B Maintenance” option to select right in their site for around $100

1. Yes, I earn between 2-3% on my money.
2. No investment is guaranteed to outperform that loan over the duration of the loan (equity volatility, which most people think they have the stomach for until things drops 10+% ... look no further than December 2018)
3. If you're not talking about...
That 2-3% loan eats into investment returns, on top of the fact that taking out a loan on a more expensive depreciating asset (Type R) is not wiser than paying off a Hatch Sport.
Cars are liabilities, not assets. I prefer owing nothing, paying 0 interest, and investing what I’d otherwise be...
