My biggest complaint, though (yes, I am complaining here) is the volume should go up to 50 or 60... IOW, it was not loud enough. I enjoyed my 10 minute stay in the car that I will buy in the next month or so, then, I got out and returned the key.
Honda is known for its good safety ratings in it's small vehicles. A lower decibel limit is yet another ingenious safety feature. It'll save your hearing!
