I had a couple of Sentras too. The first new one I bought had those automatic safety belts. Worse thing they ever put in cars. I hope the person who invented them got strangled by theirs.

Yea I think Bob’s car had those same belts.
:)
They were a temporary
alternative to the coming gov airbag standard.
My 87 Supra had neither so I really dunno...

I have owned 8 Acuras starting with the first Integra in 1987. At the beginning, and especially with the performance models they were assembled in Japan, even though very similar Honda models were being built in Ohio. I always assumed there was a difference in build quality, and that I was lucky to choose the models still imported. Only the most recent one (MDX) was built in the US, and the initial quality was excellent. Too early to tell if there seems to be a difference. But shocked to see this positon for Honda and Acura, expected they would place higher.

I sold my Audi because it was getting up in miles and the service (at the Audi dealership in West Palm Beach) was like being raped. That car held up generally, but the abuse of owners by the dealer when it came to service was deeply insulting. Wasn’t going to wait to encounter significant problems as it aged out.
