1999 Honda Accord LS 2.0
Summary:
Very good
Faults:
When I got the car, the engine light was on. I serviced the car and everything is perfect.
The front bumper seems not to be in its place, but nothing major.
General Comments:
A very good car so far.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I think the dealer was spinning you a yarn about your discs and pads. Where is it written that you have to 'let your brakes cool down' after heavy braking? If you got a vibration through the steering wheel on braking, then your discs were warped. That happens when they're old and thin and warp with the heat. If you didn't change your pads when they were worn, then you'd get a grinding noise on braking, pads and discs would then need to be replaced if you didn't swap the warn pads right away. If you had none of these symptoms, then the dealer just charged you for an easy job that takes time, with a huge mark up on the parts.
