Just thought I'd let y'all know that there'll be another person joining you to buy those replacement batteries. I have a tendancy to keep cars 8-10 years (and in the case of my first honda going on 16). Seems to me a Honda won't let us down. Just wish a few more people agreed with us on how great this car is. My car and I just celebrated our first year together, 12,000 miles and 32 miles to the gallon, even with LA traffic. I love this car.
