Our tax is 13%, by the way.

I think they do that to save money: they get the "safety" of active
headrests without the expense of same, but annoy everybody in the process.
My next car (to be purchased within the next year) will not be a Honda.

Oh sure. Some people want the quick and easy way out.
When I was a kid we had to combine hydrogen molecules with free oxygen
radicals before we could fill our stone radiators. :-)

The shop manual is your friend. Heck, even Chilton's should get you
through that. I wouldn't advocate trying to rebuild your auto trans
using one, but changint the 'stat should be doable.
Heck, my Honda Fit manual (official) makes it sound easy enough to do
at home.
"Using a chassis lift, raise the vehicle at least three feet.
Disconnect all electrical and fluid lines, remove the hood and, using
an appropriate hoist, lower the enginetransaxle assembly after first
removing the cross member and the tie rods. Then find someone who
knows what the heck they're doing to swear at you for at least ten
minutes and call you an idiot in four or more languages, including
Japanese"
Come one, I just had to. If you read the comic strip "Pearls Before
Swine" you can appreciate the long windup.

See the rad hose that comes out of the /bottom/ of the rad? Follow it up
until it ends. That's where the thermostat is.
Yes, you need to drain at least some coolant.
You should not be attempting this project unless you have some kind of shop
manual, and some kind of mechanical aptitude.
