We've got a new Element and love it.  Only problem is, we have an
infant and a your daughter, and occasionally need room for a fifth
person.  Is there an aftermarket bench seat that we can slap into the
Element on the same clips, turning it into something that seats five

I really feel sorry for the miss lead,  that bought those big gas
guzzlers and S.U.V.'s like the hummer,Tahoe,Escalade, Dodge Ram's,
F-150..etc and now are unable to save for their retirements and
childens educations because the families income is being burned in the

My husband and I are looking for a cheap but reliable 2nd car.  We've
found the resale value of VWs (our first choice) to be kinda high, so
we thought we might check out Hondas.  We need to fit 2 adults, 2
dogs, and a baby potentially, so that means 4 doors.

what's the difference between the item #12 and #13?

I just bought a used 2001 Honda Civic and I love it!!  Question
though...Should I get the car professionally rust proofed?  The car has
the original factory rust proofing already.  I can tell because there
is a residue in the trunk, hood, etc. (all 'rust prone' areas).

When is the new civic due out in the US as well as when is the Fit/Jazz
model arriving.  Any Chance they will sit higher like the Corolla and
Scion?   My bad  back prompts the last question.

Where I can find cheaper OEM Honda parts in Canada ?

I am thinking of leasing a 2005 CRV LX 4WD around May of this year, and I
was wondering if anyone has any ideas on some of the drivability, owner
satisfaction, handling, versatility, complaints or any repairs beyond normal
maintenance on this model or possibly 2003-2005 CRV's.

I had my '03 Accord in for 30,000-mi servicing and mentioned a
dashboard squeak.  They replaced and A pillar and the rubberized ring
around the driver's window.  It did nothing whatsoever for the squeak,
but it did result in the auto-up and auto-down function on that window

When I spent time working with a certified mechanic, I was taught
that the easiest way to determine if an engine had worn rings was
to do a compression check.
While reading a Tom and Ray column in the local newspaper, I learned

I have a 2000 Ody LX, and a friend of mine has a 2001 Ody LX. In the span of
about 6 weeks- BOTH our trannys went (thankfully under wty!) Mine had only
70,000 kms, and my buddy's had 102,000 kms.
The "problem" with those trannys has been rectified with the replacements

I have a 98 Accord Coupe EX V6
After two clicks on the remote lock button, the headlights should flash
and the horn should give a short honk.
I recently had a relay replaced and now neither of these functions

I have a recurring OBDII 0505 code, which my Haynes manual says is the
IAC valve. All the checks I've tried (idle speed (about 650-700), idle
variation when I remove the connector, voltage to the valve) seem
normal. It looks to me like all the hoses are connected, although I may
