Picked mine up at Noon. Trip home was 7.3 mi - Got 46.6 MPG. Very happy with car overall. Had Bass system, Fog Lights, Splash Guards, Interior Illunination, and Deluxe Floor Mats. Paid $900.00 less than MSRP. Got 5.05% APR from my credit union. Got over 41MPG in 200 mi drive. This was in 25 F weather with light snow & rain. I still haven't pumped up the tires. Bass sound is sweet!

What is OSBM?

Over Sized Battery Monitor?

On Sale Below Msrp?

Overpower Super Bass Module?

Opal Silver Blue Metallic, would be my guess

OSBM; That is correct in that it is, Opal Silver Blue Metallic, I think I saw where Don had that color on order.

So, Don you like the sound system from your Post? Did you get the dealer to install the X/M Sat. Radio Option?

What do you think about the (Power) of the vehicle? Like from a Stop-Light and then say like on the Hwy. and you want to pass someone or just want to speed up, How does it do?

What do you think of the CVT?

Congrats:

Terry

How much did the dealer charge for the fog lights (please separate out parts and installation)?

Terry,
Yes, I like the Bass System - I won't be a Rap Disc Jockey in the near future, but my 14 yr old son and his friend had the windows shaking! I did not get the XM Radio - not sure if I would use it enough. The power seems ok, I've been babying my "Blue Baby", and luckily was not in a tight entry situation on the expressway. The CVT seems smooth. Overall I like the car and am very pleased with my first day of driving.

Hey Don:

Most excellent review on the Bass Spkrs. Hey; I almost forgot to ask you. I want to here more about what your opinions are of the HCH ll as you get to put some more miles on it over the next weeks to come. so, don't forget us here now that you are the proud owner of your HCH ll. All while I am thinking about it, did you say, does your car have the NAV. on it?

One more thing, how about the FE Cluster gauges reading correct? You have been reading I'm sure about the, seems like more and more members that are having the same problem with their FE Gauges reading correct. Let us know about yours and also do you know when your car was (Produced)? "Build-Date"?

Many-Questions

Terry

BTW; I'm still waiting but enjoying reading about you New-Owners:

AZMerf,
The Fog Lights were $319.00 (also on Honda Website), they charged $150.00 for install. However, I got some knocked off the installation. I'll try to post the prices, tax, etc on a new thread " Cost Detail of '06 HCH OSBM" when I get a chance!
