[RFI] Latest RFI-proof SUVs

[Jimk8mr at aol.com]

Of course YMMV and all that stuff, but my 2007 Honda Fit suffers from  
serious RFI from the Electric Power Steering. I shows as being quiet until the  
steering wheel moves, when appears a broadband noise, with peaks and  
valleys (mostly peaks) every 20 KHz or so. It continues until 2 seconds after  the 
steering has not moved. 
 
The noise is present through 2 meters, and is worst on 15 meters, where it  
is S9 on a Ham Stick. It is bad enough to affect reception on weaker FM  
broadcast stations. 
 
Otherwise the car is pretty good RFI wise, but here is another noise to  
check when looking at cars.

I think  I heard that Honda was good for RFI, but that was 4 years ago.
