Drove that too, the same week I drove the Mazda 6... and quite frankly, I didn't like it at all. Acura turned the car into a living room on wheels! I thought the 6 speed tranny would be fun... it's too smooth and rubery (my Integra had a much better feel than this one). And the throtle response is slow at best, probably due to Honda's throtle-by-wire's system being tuned for fuel economy. Overall, the car felt like a big american sedan equipped with a 6sp tranny. Just strange...


But back on topic though, two of my neighbours now drive Spec-Vs and I'm having a blast just teasing them about it being inferior (just for jokes, calm down guys).

I must say that one of them must have bought the car just for looks (I dunno where'd you'd get such a weird idea, it's not that good looking)... he never drives it differently than if he owned a Chevy Impala.

Dooope!


Sorry to hear that... but there's hope for these guys yet. Maybe someone should set up somekind of help line or something... I hope he doesn't kill himself in the twisties.

Heh, sorry. I figured we'd get a chuckle out of it and move on.
