Just curious, like to buy directly from an owner when possible vs. a slime-ball car dealer ...

 

Woo-hoo, found a one-owner with 29k miles, going to pick it up next week.

Will be interesting to see how it compares to my wife's '12 since Honda made a number of changes starting with the '13s

 

Liking the '15 so far. First tank of gas at home was 47.7 mpg ... a number I rarely saw in my '06 and that my wife has never reached AFAIK with her '12.

One little thing that will take getting used to ... in the '06 when I rolled to a stop at my destination, the car was in Auto Stop and I'd turn off the key while in drive and then I could move the shift lever to P without causing the engine to unnecessarily start back up. With the proximity key, there's no such option, you always get an unnecessary restart when moving into park.

The '15 does feel more solid and possibly a little quieter than the HCH-II and I'm tempted to put on some really nice tires like Bridgestone QuietTrack to see if I can make it still more luxurious. I did a lot of work on my Mercedes over the summer putting in sound deadening and have really enjoyed the results and since I expect to continue using the Honda to run down to San Antonio and Houston from time to time, it would be great to get it quieter on the highway.
