for that matter, do any of the DBW S2000 owners (06+, as I recall) have any gripes? The current Civic Si seems to have a number of complaints re: this
It does hang, momentarily, for emissions purposes and it's really not that big of deal. After a day or two of driving you don't even notice it anymore. At least it's not a big deal on mine. I've got complaints with the car but they aren't with the rev hang feature or the DBW.

Look noobie, why don't you stfu because I'd tell you the same to your face tough guy. And how is it "over exaggerating" when it has actually occurred? Think before you post and you might not get burned.

Oh btw, since you like to call me out on my grammar, it's "you're", not "your" smart guy..
Just a simple typo, dont get your head to fat... keyboard vigilante.

BTW i'd love for you to run your mouth to me in person.

IMO, there is an idiotic stylist at Honda Design Center, that is out to kill the Accord.

Looks like the old generation Saturn sedan.

Uh huh! And you people said the same thing about the Camry when in reality, it has sold MUCH more than the older one. This Accord will do the same.
