Scotty, greetings from Houston. We miss you. What do you think about the NEW HONDA PASSPORT??

[@chrismiliotodiymore6407]

Scotty I have a question...I have a 2008 Lincoln MKX...my Ac is blowing hot...in past year I've added freon twice at a shop...I recently changed my fan blower motor..just flushed my ac drain tube yesterday as it was clogged...I checked the 2 temperature motors behind dash seem to be functional fine. Stopped blowing cold about maybe 2 weeks ago. The clutch on compressor is turning on and off when turning ac on and off and the 2 fans behind radiator are working ....any idea what you think it may be? I'm not sure if it's a leak which I need checked or if maybe condenser or something else...

[@katodan9996]

I told you the other day to buy a Honda Civic, I bought a 94’ new and drove it 20 years, other than regular maintenance I replaced the front axles and fuel pump until steam came out the exhaust and I gave it away. I bought a used 12’ and it’s a great car also. Hope they stay that way.

Very cool features with the lane keep and adaptive cruise made the trip much better. But I gotta say, the seats are not friendly for very very long trips. For maybe 4 hour round trips they'd be fine, but 9 hours a day was difficult and I can still feel it.

my 2001 honda accord ex coupe isn’t the fastest but it still drives so nicely around the corners and is plenty fast enough to feel fun, and the manual transmission still feels like new.

[@froggybear4033]

Back in 2017 I bout this car in a base model with Sport package 6 Speed Manual for $21,300. I currently have 93k miles on it and it drives like it did when I bought it back in 2017. Changed all fluids and not a single drop anywhere to be found. I got it in the Aegian Blue also and still get compliments on it to this day. Never experienced any Oil Dilution problems. The manual transmission in this car is absolutely amazing. Should try it. The fun level goes up. ;) Currently 29 to 33 MPG with ECO mode OFF.

[@bootini1]

The reason that the lane departure didn't alert when you went over the lines quickly is actually built in so that I wouldn't alert when you are making a quick change such as when you are changing lanes or turning. It is meant to alert the way that it did when you drift slowly over the road markings since that's what happens when the driver is not paying attention and drifts.

I'm a Honda/Acura fan for life. I have owned 19 cars in my lifetime. One car was a Ford, ten were Hondas and the other eight were Acuras. Currently have a '20 Accord Touring 2.0T which I love! It's a fantastic car. My next car will likely be either a new Acura TLX or the new Acura Integra Type S coming out next spring.

I had a 2017 gray metallic Honda Civic Hatch SEL package. Ran good, never an issue. But, after I retired I wanted a road vehicle for comfort and more luxury. I also found the space lacking over time. Good city commuter car, but not comfortable on longer trips. I almost got a Honda CRV but found the power lacking. I went with a 2020 Ford Escape big engine, no crummy CVT. The civic I had was loud, I need a quiet vehicle, my escape is all that.
