Cars - what a pain!
Friday, June 2nd, 2006 |
So today, I’m out of a car. We just purchased a 2006 Honda Accord last week, but the speedometer was having issues, so it’s in the shop. It’s kept showing “zero mph” even though it was going well above 80. So the Honda dealership is trying to figure out what’s going on with it. Now, normally I’m totally patient, and feel like, ok, no big deal.
But the other car we have is a 2003 Audi A4. Enough said. That car, while a lot of fun to drive (it’s a manual transmission, of course) has been in the shop almost as much as it’s been out. Yeah. Last week, we had to have the window repaired. (It wouldn’t roll back up.) The week before, the clutch and flywheel had to be replaced. Ouch. It’s had issues. I have to say, though, it’s so much fun to drive, it almost makes it worth it. Almost. It’s still a pain to be out of a car, but luckily, I’m not working right now, so it’s not a huge deal. Except when I want to go shopping or go to the gym, that makes it hard.
We had good experiences with Honda in the past (my first car was a 2000 Honda Civic, brand new), so I’m hoping the speedometer problem is just a fluke, and not a sign of things to come. We’ll see…we bought a Honda because it’s reliable. We bought an Audi because it’s fun. We’ll see where we end up. Hmm…
