What kind of problems?
Radio/navigation was freaking out.
Clunky transmission
One problem with the dealer itself (which any consumer will associate with the brand) is that they fucked up his windshield replacement twice.

Man new cars and windshields what gives. Shame about the trans and nav problems. The nav doesn't surprise me, the clunky trans does. :sad:

2019 Civic Si gets a volume knob. Was hoping it'd get Honda Sensing too, but I guess it won't.

If you knew about model refresh was coming but not announced and no details were available would you still buy the current car brand new?

If that's in the running, why not a Grand Cherokee SRT8? Can be had for the same price used.

I'm just trying to make sure I eliminate all options in my head.

No cupholders, can't fit a Big Mac through that window opening, and you sit in the center of the vehicle so drive throughs are NGH even if you could. Useless. Do not want.

Preflight checklist maneuvers.
Yeah gotta say that's pretty cool. Window switches above you and all. Depending on how they light it all up, startup sequence could be totally EPIC on this.
