Dilemna When 4 Year B2B Warranty Is Up
My 8 is the only vehicle I've ever owned that I've not grown sick of, and that I've actually grown to love more with each passing year (now on year 3). That is very rare for me, as I usually get bored or sick of a car after a couple years.

I know it sounds like I'm a fan boy big time, but I really am trying to be objective, and I've owned or leased approximately 9 cars before my 8.

I've been pondering what to do by the end of October, 2009, when the B2B warranty on my 8 is up.

I've had no problems with my 8 except for a gas cap CEL, which was resolved by disconnecting the battery terminal.

There are no rattles or squeaks in my 8, even after three winters, and over the harshest roads.

I love the motor more and more. It's hard to explain how smooth and linear it is to people not familiar with rotary motors.

I love the steering - it's fantastic.

Even the ride quality is excellent for a sports car.

It's a year away, and I'm wondering if I got 'one of the good ones' with my car given the lack of any problems, and whether that means I should just keep it and drive on.

I'm never selling my 8.

Even once my first renesis blows, I'll get another.

I'm going FI next year even though I have 3 years left on my warranty.

If I blow more than two reneises' then I'm going to a V8.

Man, If I were you I'd keep it, but I'm psycho insane.

ha, I'm swapping an LSx in as soon as I graduate from med school.

But yeah, same here, I don't think I will sell the car. The only way I will lose her is if one of us dies.

My B2B expired 11/2005

My 8 and the world is still here. The best part about that is not having to get poor Dealership service.

The Civic isn't a bad car. It's reliable and a durable appliance.

I will just never go back to front wheel drive, especially in compact or subcompact car format.
