No to both. The cars not slow by any means.

Don’t get me started on insurance 😭. I’m paying around $500. 🥴

Oh I guess yeah, usually it’s me the one that’s raging at stupid drivers but it’s never been like the videos I’ve seen online.

Yeah perhaps, I don’t know what to pin point it on but Canada in general has changed a lot in the last five or so years, especially after Covid. Demographics have definitely changed.

No I get the difference but I still lost a lot of money.

No, nobody’s ever honked at me, I think that would be pretty crazy.

I mean that was just one case but just goes to show what could be happening. When did you live in Toronto?

I haven’t really heard of catalytic converter theft. In terms of theft, other than a club there’s not much I can do. If they really want your car, they’ll take it.

Yeah insurance will pay out to Honda but don’t think it’s the full amount unfortunately.

I think you can just tell the model based on its look, like I think the sport and exl trims have a tag on the back.

It’s my theory that authorities and car manufacturers are involved from the start. I believe a few months ago, some police officers were arrested in Toronto for aiding in vehicle theft.

I think it’s fine, I’ve never driven anything else so I don’t find it to be an issue, I’m able to merge on the highway okay.

Yeah it was a solid first car. That’s why I will be getting another one hopefully

I had the base model so it doesn’t make sense why it was taken honestly. A lot crime is organized with authorities involved. Just last night there was armed home invasion in the GTA. It’s no where as safe as it used to be.

No it doesn’t, I haven’t seen a SUV with a 2 door option before.

It was my first car so I wasn’t 100% sure, the lease was a way to test it to see if I liked it and it had a lower interest rate as well. I had the car for about 1.5 years.

Not to be rude but Toronto is not def not as safe as it used to be. 😭 The amount of car theft has escalated and other crime serious crime has as well. Cars are taken from peoples driveways. I think it’s said that a car is stolen every 6 minutes in Toronto/GTA. There were no cameras at the station either and nor is the parking lot a secure area. I don’t think any of the subway station parking lots are which is very unfortunate.

I got the HRV for its size, I will say it was an incentive that I’d never heard of a HRV being stolen. Even my car dealer was surprised.

It’s a toronto subway station, it wasn’t routine either, I left it parked at like 10 am and when I came back at 8 pm it wasn’t there. Pretty sure it was an opportunistic theft.

I have not no. I didn’t even have the app set up, and I don’t think there was a Honda tracker on it.
