Sorry to hear you got stiffed for $400 over MSRP. I was desperately searching for an '06 HCH in mag pearl and found one after about 45 minutes on the phone in Sacramento. I asked "OK, what do you want for it..." and the guy said in a surprised tone "Hm. Looks like it's list price." He was clearly surprised that it was being sold at list.

Needless to say, I was there the very next morning with cash in hand, Mel Rapton Honda. They were great, very friendly. Only problem was that as a business lease for a non-incorporated business, Honda finance kept us waiting 4 hours while they sorted everything out for the lease. But that wasn't the dealer's fault.

Otherwise, I'm really happy with the car. I killed it today by leaving the key on in the ignition, the battery died. I called the dealership, they said give it a normal slow-charge over night, no problem.

I've got about 250 miles so far, average MPG of 39. Nothing spectacular there, but frankly we bought the car for the HOV stickers, not much more, so MPG doesn't mean much to me, though apparently it's a big deal to everyone else? I just find it humorous that this "super high mileage" vehicle actually doesn't get much better mileage than a regular civic.
