Westwood Chevrolet in Mississauga was pretty good to me.  Even mailed me a new Perly's map book today (with a one year subscription to Carguide).  I was planning on buying one but they saved me the trouble.

railton  - i was looking at parkway honda in east toronto (eglinton & dvp).  ben lee was the salesman - a young guy and very friendly, no pressure, knowledgable of the product lines.  didn't buy a honda but would have bought from him if we had.

I was quite impressed with Parkway Honda itself however I had to walk in someone's office in order to get someone to help me.  Gentleman I spoke to, Gopal, walked past me (along with others) two times while I was waiting.

Davidm, who's your Mazda contact in Vancouver?  I'm going to be looking very seriously at a 5 when they arrive.

Ken Webb at Morrey Mazda in the North Shore Auto Mall.  You can tell him Dave in the Miata (who bought a blue P5 from him) sent you, or frankly just drop any reference to the local Miata freaks and you should be off to a good start.

Oh well, I guess Gopal and others at Parkway didn't want their commission. The other dealer I went to was glad to take it

Thanks for the plug Mr. T!

I'll tell the old man he finally made "that internet thingy".  He takes a lot of pride in his costumer service.  (To do otherwise in a small town like Campbellford is business suicide...)

p.s.

For new Hondas, I recommend Trent Valley Honda in Peterborough (1.5 hrs. Northeast of Tarana).  I helped a friend buy a car there and I was very impressed with the no - B.S. sales staff.  I think it is a familly business for several decades (father and son thingy).

I like to give kudos where it is deserved.  Saint_satan Sr. has treated my family well.  

Trent Valley Honda, you say?  If I'm ever in the market for a new Honda, I'll have to keep them in mind.
