So Today my baby goes to the dealer for some work... So hopefully this all works out smoothly, since I heard good and bad things with the dealer near me..
So the LED back lighting for half of the gauges are out. Master window switch is broken, plastic switch are broken. Power steering has slight leak, hopefully an easy fix. Lastly ac compressor noise... and its just short of 56k miles.. smh.
Just doesn't seem normal...


It has an extended warranty, so I'm going to tell them to check out the whole car.... anything else I should have them check????

 

wow, nothing... lol.... its ok
So my loaner is a 2017 Q50... its not the sports model, there's a lil turbo lag, but it still gets up pretty good.. its got crappy run flats on it.. the main thing I like is the stereo, waaaayyy better then the crappy Bose in my 09.. its got the select-able drive. Personal,Sport,normal, Eco and snow. Well in eco it does seem to get better gas mileage, it pulls off slow and smooth, and does well on the highway. Sport give crisp shifts and seems to accelerate faster, as well as firmer ride. Normal is well normal, but the ride seems too loose and noisy... But I will give an update, since I will have it for a couple of days..

 

2.0T or 3.0T ?

 

It is the 3.0T

Funniest thing today.. The dealer had my car for 24 hrs and are calling me to see if I want to trade it in.. the supposedly had a buyer that really wanted that my model..
I was like, sorry, but I like my car and dont wish to trade it in at this time..

 

they always do that **** cause it gets you to buy a car and possibly get a loan from them.

 

Don't believe that BS. That is the sales department tactic they use to get you in a newer car with car payments so they can make $$.

It's common strategy for dealerships to send letters in the mail saying something along the lines of "Your (car year) (make and model) is in high demand!" blah blah and they'll usually have a car value written on the flyer saying how much they'll give you for your car..

It's 2017 and yet Honda still sends the same letters to my mom regarding her 2007 Accord.

 

Ooh. I know.. even if i wanted to trade it in, i would use my bank...
When i made the mistake of biying a new focus, smh.. the ford dealer tried it when i took it in for a recall... lol, i still get stuff from ford..

 

Ok, so I got my baby back... wooot...
So things I didnt like about the 17 Q50, steering felt disconnected, ride was softer (none sports model). Buttons on steering wheel, every time i made a left turn I changed stations or songs.. lol. run flat tires, and no spare. tan interior..
Things I did like, eco mode, helped with my heavy right foot. lol. outside styling. blue tooth connectivity for music. would I buy a new one??? probably not, I would have to drive a sports model first.

So get my car back, go to the store, I forgot to have them fix the outside unlock button. smh.... also, I have a water leak, they said it is the sunroof hose, that the 90 degree part is broken.... well now the passenger side is leaking too, and it wasnt before..... aaaarrrggghhhh. are these parts easy to come by and innstall, cause the dealer wants $850 to do them both...
