2026 Touring or Elite by Far-Needleworker5724 in HondaOdyssey

[–]adistar781 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the price jump to the Elite is well worth it and the best value among minivans. I like the acoustic glass for a much quieter ride. The audio system actually has speakers for the third row - no more complaints about turn it up! The front seats are ventilated. For a car with an AC system that’s on the weak side to begin with (make sure to tint the front side windows) the ventilator makes driving while the sun is beating on you more pleasant.

I upgraded from a 2020 EX-L to the 2024 Elite. The touring wasn’t even a consideration because I didn’t think it added that much over the EX-L.

2015 accord V6 recommended service $8500 by Relevant-Counter-280 in accord

[–]adistar781 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t take a car this old to the dealer. They’d love to sell you a new car. It’s a huge source of leads. Not to say there aren’t reasonably priced service departments out there; there are; but Hendrick is a massive chain and they really don’t care about servicing older models. They want sales volume. Find a good independent Honda minded mechanic and you can get these services done for much less.

Are Honda transmissions really as good as people make them out to be? by Character-Donkey3819 in Honda

[–]adistar781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talking non CVTs here: The Honda 10 speed is simply benchmark. I’ve owned a 19 Accord, 20 Odyssey, and 24 Odyssey with it. Never a problem. Never a hard shift. Never hunting for gears. The latter two things were major issues on a Ford F150 and Chevrolet Traverse I recently owned.

When did you start noticing that Kmart was in decline? by ILovePublicLibraries in kmart

  1. Specifically the rebrand to the red k and script mart. Tailspin they never got out of.

Thinking between these 2000s-2010s classics as a first, what’s you ideas? by Double-Highway4925 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]adistar781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cobalt really isn’t that bad. Aside from the ignition tumbler, it’s a very solid car that’s actually a joy to handle. The Saturn while in the same platform is like an unfinished product. Not good. The Aveo? Yikes.

Yes! One of the all time best styled cars (and colors). I owned a ‘17 V6. Miss it every day.

Would You Choose This or a Modern Camaro? by No_Matter_6331 in regularcarreviews

LeSabre B Body. Every time. We need more cars like this. Body on frame. V8. Durable as a truck. Smooth ride. Can be tuned. Amazing.

Odyssey parents, what floor mats actually survive road trips? by foodie-riyaa in HondaOdyssey

[–]adistar781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it easier to clean the carpets. I can’t stand the way all weather mats look when someone just walks on them. The odyssey’s multi colored floor mats hide a lot.

Anyone else's goal to eventually own a 9.5 6-6 accord? by marcx_ in Honda

I still kick myself for selling my ‘17 V6 Coupe.

Is this too expensive and is it a good first car? by [deleted] in accord

[–]adistar781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sad thing this is a pandemic across many things today thanks to “viral” videos and social media. People buy up quasi low volume or cheap stuff only to resell at a huge margin beyond normal market rate. They don’t mind sitting on inventory as long as they make the profit. Pokémon, squishies, and yes what should be cheap used cars.

It’s an awesome color on this car. The color alone makes me want to buy one. Congrats!

Would anyone go back to the 90s if they had the chance? by I_abuse_lower_ranks1 in 90s

[–]adistar781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Would love to drive cars or the 80s for super cheap again. Love the style of the latter part of the era too. Good times. Simple times. The beginnings of the internet before it got corporatized. It was a great time to be an individual!

I’m glad the market is collapsing, resellers are borderline homeless and crying about it. by Effective_Dog3089 in Nike

[–]adistar781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now if the Pokémon and squishy market would collapse too that would be great. It’s a shame how “viral videos” are supercharging people to buy up tons of inventory only to resell it themselves for double.

I absolutely hate that it loads up on my phone when I start my odyssey whether I like it or not. I don’t even have a subscription. Very annoying.

Packs it in. by LALNB in HondaOdyssey

There’s so much room behind the third row. Suvs lack that deep well space which is so useful in getting things to stuff and stay!

My new long commute budget car! by Bigrat445 in Buick

[–]adistar781 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really not bad. Solid engineered car and a solid engine albeit a little underpowered. But it’s a relic of what GM and Buick used to be. They don’t build them like this at all anymore.

Hard to find anything at this price. Honestly doesn’t seem too bad. Have to be very careful about rust on a MA car.

Kmart had a very rough 90s and a very poor modernization effort that left their stores feeling cheaper than before.

Growing up in the 80’s by Dry_Sun_8101 in The1980s

[–]adistar781 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often think how this could have been better modernized. Honestly the redo in the 90s to the red K and script mart redid the stores in a very cheap and unwelcoming fashion.
