Good Morning Warren and Friends, it’s time for the WAPO carchat
Last week we were talking about Takata Airbags and one of you wrote me to tell me about their experience. I am sharing it with all of you. It’s so good to see someone so happy.
I read in your chat today on WaPo that you have a friend, Davis, at Honda… I wonder if I might impose on you to pass along my most sincere gratitude to Honda Motor Company for the amazing and classy treatment I was given during the recall of the Takata airbag on my 2009 Honda Fit Sport.
I was rented a car at no cost for 4 months, no questions asked. My car was towed into my dealership at no charge when the parts arrived, no questions asked. At every stage of the process, I was made to feel like a valued customer. Several follow-up calls were made to make sure I was still satisfied with the rental car and to update me on the situation.
Thanks to Honda Motor Company and my dealer, Wilde Honda in Brookfield, WI. Truly great and considerate customer service like this will never be forgotten. It’s a pleasure to do business with a company with such integrity and honor.

This week I drove the BMW 330 E, a plug-in hybrid BMW! The first 20 miles are on electricity, combine that with the gasoline I used to get to Bodega Bay, CA and back and my mpg was 38. You’re talking about a four-door sedan with a large trunk and great drivability. The starting MSRP is $43,700. The 2.0-liter 4-cylinder works with a 7.6 kWh lithium-ion battery to create 247 horsepower and low-end torque.
I like the blue that lights up in the car and that when the car is charging you can look in the instrument panel and it will tell you what time the car is fully charged. This is a car I would recommend, but you already know I would pretty much recommend any plug-in hybrid to people that have the ability to charge their vehicle, especially if you have solar panels.
Let’s chat about cars.
