Giving serious thought to this vehicle, but wanted some feedback from owners. I test drove one with the orchid interior (loved it) and that incredible sound system. CVT (sorry).

What have been the things you really love about your car, and the things that have bothered you? Do you find it easy to get into and out of? How's the real time fuel economy when not driving it hard? Do you have significant oil dilution? (We stopped buying Honda products after the 2017 nightmare with the 1.5t engine).

As a previous 2020 Kona owner, I'm super impressed with the 2026 Limited. It's got so many features that are typically found on much more expensive cars.

However, I test drove the 2026 a couple of days ago and had some issues with both the acceleration and the ride. Of course the change from a CVT affects the acceleration... but the bumpy-ish ride on fairly smooth pavement really bothered me. Is this potentially an anomaly on the specific car I drove, or is it a pervasive issue with the Kona? It could be a deal breaker.

The GLA250 is not open for consideration, so should I consider a C300 or CLA coupe or sedan? Is there a down side to any of these models?

We had a 2-line Veteran plan with everything unlimited included, plus we paid for Netflix... for a grand total of $107 a month. It was supposed to be a lifetime plan.

We were moved to a plan with limits and it'll cost us $127. They threw in Hulu. Big deal.

How is a 20% increase and reduced services fair?

When we bought our Eufy cameras and doorbell a few years ago, everything worked reasonably well with our small Amazon Show. About 2 years ago we added the 8" Show and things still worked. One important detail: my husband "owns" the Eufy devices, while the Alexa devices are mostly mine.

​

We recently noticed that we can no longer display output from any of the Eufy devices. I read that Amazon made some security changes that disabled commingled accounts like ours. Significantly, the Eufy devices do show up in my husband's Alexa app... but cannot be played on either of our Show devices.

​

We've gone through all manner of troubleshooting steps, of course. And we've read that Eufy and Amazon show devices no longer play well together... so have about given up. What say you?

​

TLDR: Can no longer view Eufy cameras output on Echo Show devices

I'm looking for a website that includes reviews of private label products. There are obviously some very good products but also some not so good. Pointers to an organized set of reviews (vs piecemeal ones found here and elsewhere) would be appreciated.

I loved our LR4 when it was new. Now it's beginning to remind me of our old LR3, with regular errors. With the LR4, it's about dirty sensors.

I've initiated and watched several cleaning cycles, and the globe stops rotating (as if a cat entered) and then restarts on its own. I can also get it going by hitting the reset button. I've followed the troubleshooting steps but they have not fixed the issue. I have not purchased canned air yet, but that may be next.

I use Tidy Cats 24/7 litter.

Any other pointers?

Our LR4 is approaching a year old, and had been having recurring problems over the last few months detecting our cats. We occasionally find the box quite dirty in the mornings, and it's obvious it hasn't cycled after it's been used. More recently, (surprise) I've been getting messages saying to clean the sensors. I've done so, but the problem hasn't gone away. What might I be missing?

We bought the LR4 about a year ago but have not disposed of our aged LR3... plus a number of spare parts. What did you do with yours after upgrading or replacing?
