Congrats on the new car, you got a fair price on that car too, especially from a main dealer, did you get a 12 month HONDA warranty too?

You have chosen the best colour, but then you knew that already

Make sure that the dealer has the correct tyres on the car, I had all sorts of rubbish rubber on mine when I bought it, if I had known I would have made sure they put the correct tyres all round (RE050a in your case) in the price.

I would seriously consider ringing them and asking them to do this for you, if they are not willing to pay for the tyres you might even consider paying them to do it anyhow, my car was very scary on Dunlop s9000's on rear and bridgestone touranza on the fronts, all totally the wrong tyres when bought from the dealer and the car new it too!

yep i got the extra year honda warrenty with the aa cover, so ive got 2 years warrenty, which im happy about.
i couldn't quite remember the exact tyres that should have been on the car when i looked but i did check to see if they were bridgestones, which they were, so i think they will be the right ones.
i will phone up this week and enquire about the bushes but i guess its a bit late now.

The sales drones won't have the first idea what you're talking about and, because of that, will doubtless fob you off with a "yes, they're fine", without even knowing what you're talking about, let alone whether there are problems are not.

I doubt the service personnel will be much the wiser, but you can always try. Read the long thead on here on the subject so you know what the problem is and understand why it's relevant.

ha like your colour choice, I though like the blue interior, so nice to have a change from the usual black that you get in most cars. Each to their own though :-)
