I really said that loud in front of the service advisor and I made sure all their customers heard how I praise the service
And seriously I find the Rio has way better build quality, better interior material, smoother engine & faster throttle response than the crappy low end BMW.

Wow....ur BMW dealership must suck. My local Acura dealership (it's the only Acura dealer on the island/in the state so they can pretty much do w/e they want) gives out loaners for w/e car you have. So for our loaner we get a TL. If you had a TSX you get a TSX, MDX for MDX, and so on... And they are all in the current model year or 1-year previous model year and all are almost new - we havent got one with more than like 7000mi on it yet.

"4. DIY- instead of using a floor jack to lift the car to get under it, you can get a few buddies over to just flip the car over on the lawn, providing easy access to the undercarriage- this is also a good way to store the unused winter/summer car to keep the weight off the suspension and tires"

Talking

What a great way to end the day! And to think if I had a Rio I wouldn't have wasted money on buying a jack. I'm still laughing.

Feature wise, there are some nice features on the new Rio. But the TSX oem alarm does suck.
