Is is worth it?

[quote:b86a471a67="E-Wanna-Be"]I have my dealer putting an order in for my E with side air bags as soon as one gets built and shipped to my region. Which he predicts could be as soon as next week. But after hearing about all the cracked windshields, I'm beginning to wonder if this vehicle is even worth it? I know it's only a windshield--not a mechanical issue, but its definitely discouraging that ppl haven't even made their first payment and the windshield is already cracked. And will it probably crack again? Any thoughts?

I presume you know that the corrective measures have been taken, by Honda, with regard to the windshield issue. Your car is being made after the corrective measures, I believe, so there should not be a problem. Any time you purchase a new vehicle, some things are not right and not perfect. This is the first year in production and Honda is a very responsive company. I have had mine for 6 weeks, and have zero problems. None what so ever. However, if you are not sure if the car is worth it or not, then really you should wait until next year or buy another competitive car. There are lots of good reasonably priced cars made now, but none quite as unique as the E.

Also I bought a PT Cruiser when they first came out and it had issues also, but more of them. It is common with a brand new model. They try to test the vehicles before releasing them, but nothing can match the real world testing of the first purchasers.[/quote:69585e14cf]

Slowhand: I know of the TSB for the windshield, and the plasic covers on the back seat fold up areas, but what is the third one?
