Faults:

Had to replace the muffler; it cracked at the input flange. Replaced front brake pads and rotors recently. I would consider this a normal wear and tear item.

This by far has been the best car that I've owned. The only complaints that I've had with the car: the temp control for the heater was sticky, and when the car was cold, the auto-trans tended to hunt between gears. Once it warmed up, the problem went away. This car has plenty of zip. Excellent fuel mileage (about 31 mpg).

Sadly, the safety features of the car were put to the test last week. My daughter was in a "T-bone" accident that totaled the car. Both air bags deployed. None of the passengers were injured, and the Acura held up well considering the severity of the collision. I am planning to buy another one.

Faults:

Nothing other than normal wear and tear. I do complete teh regular services at the dealer.

General Comments:

Suspension is generally very hard, but the car has worked like a charm for the last 6 years that I have owned. I plan to keep it at least for another 5 years!!

Faults:

Radiator cracked and had to be replaced at 65K miles due to a faulty thermostat. It was about $500 to repair.

Power Antenna jammed at 60K miles. I chose not to replace it and instead opened it and removed the plastic cable connecting it to the motor. The antenna goes up and down, but you have to push it manually with your hand.

General Comments:

Car has been quite reliable, but the check engine lamp does turn and give false readings.

Michelin Pilot tires are great for this car.

Good little car with great handling.

Faults:

The only major thing that has went bad on the car is the clutch. This was a result in using nitrous oxide with a stock unit with 65,000 miles on it.

General Comments:

The car is quick for a non turbo 4 cylinder application.

I chose the LS over the GS-R because it has more bottom end torque. This will be a better start to the addition of a turbo.

The interior is very comfortable and the accessories are easy to reach. The shifter is perfect and you don't have to lean to reach it.

Faults:

Noise in the dashboard.

Squeaks in the driver seat seatbelt socket.

OEM tires build up cracks after 4 years.

Windshield washer fluid nozzle get clogged.

General Comments:

It is very reliable compare to my Corolla, and I have not yet found a major problem in the car.

However, transmission does not response as smooth as others out there and I would recommend a manual transmission instead.

Make sure you get good tires to go with this car, I couldn't believe it makes such a difference in terms of performance and comfort.

Faults:

My sunroof started to shake when opened at around 80,000 miles. It needed to be greased.

General Comments:

This is a lot of car for the money.

It really holds its value.

The car is sporty, quick and dependable.

It's small, but it's a sports car, isn't it?!

Faults:

Distributor went out shortly after purchase. Overheating problems. Clutch problems along with transmission. CV joints. I think the engine has just about had all the abuse it can handle.

General Comments:

I got this car as a Graduation gift from my Parents. A boy racer dream car. Toys R Us should sell these.

V-tech engine is willing and screams to redline, but the car is too flimsy to take any kind of real abuse.

GT car wanna be. Underneath it all a sporty looking Accord.

I'll take my Porsche to the track and let mom use the V-tech to get the groceries.
