but:
i have some concerns/issues.
vehicle has 3500 miles on it thus far.
i have come to realize that this car is more of an upscale accord than a true high mileage vehicle. first tankful, driving home to maryland from poconos, i saw the mileage hit 40. cruise set at 55.

since then, i haven't seen this number, yet i am driving like a granny and pissing people off. i live right off of the highway, do very little stop and go, and my mileage is basically around 30-33. if i can, i set the cruise for 55 or 60 and the mileage doesnt greatly improve.

then there's the brakes. ive experienced serious fade. almost had trouble stopping at a light. ended up 1/4 of the way into the intersection to the surprise of the other commuters.

now, mind you - i know driving a new car takes some getting used to, but i drive a lot of different cars as rentals and this one is the trickiest.

then there's the downshifting- im getting a vibration from the front SOMEWHERE. it almost feels like ABS shudder, but i'm barely braking. i cant tell exactly, but i feel it in the steering wheel, my passenger doesnt feel it at all.

lastly, this car does not accelerate properly out of a turn (2nd gear?). it delays, sends passengers forward (stall type phase) , then revs and catches up with itself (and pushes everyone back in place).

pinions PLEASE?

also, if anyone has any great ideas on dealing with paint chips on the hood, lemme know.


and lastly, i've only seen ONE other HAH around these parts - maybe that navy dude from severna park . . . .
