As many of you already know, my daughter was REAR ENDED and her CIVIC in my signature was TOTALED. Thanks for all of your best wishes & comments.
She got a rental car in the mean time till she decides on her next vehicle. Here is what she told me about her RENTAL.
______________________________________________________________________________________
In order to get a rental car that day, my daughter had to accept(in which she didn't mind) a 2016 Honda Civic(coincidently, another CIVIC) OR, wait till next week for a rental turn in. The rental company had just gotten this Civic(yes a 2016) back and didn't have time to inspect it(oil, tires etc.) or wash it. But she didn't care what car she was given as she needed a car RIGHT NOW!
She likes driving this CIVIC(showing 40 mpg) and rides & handles well and reasonably quiet. But she is not used to the Honda Safety Sense Equipment as it has been beeping on her whole drive to Harrisburg, PA and she hasn't learned yet, how to turn them off...it's just a rental.
She had to drive to her NOSC in Harrisburg, PA for this month's Naval Reserve Duty(weekend). The car was beeping the whole way from State College to Harrisburg(~90 miles). And the steering was erratic due to the LKA...even when using the directional.
Not to say that she doesn't believe in the new vehicles Safety Sweet of Sensing Equipment that all vehicles have, she does indeed. She just want's to pick & chose which ones to leave ON. And until she learns this car, she'll have to put up with the beeping(s)/warning signals. She plans on buying another "something" soon.
We're all still driving cars(only with VSC & ABS) but without any of the AMB, LKA, DCC, BSM etc. And we all still have manual Parking Brakes in the vehicles in my signature.
We realize that our next vehicles will certainly have all of the above.
