1200 miles and now enjoying plus 6000 revs! When I heard they weren't making them any more, I had to buy one. Sold a 350Z coupe and bought a proper roadster (ie not a carved up tintop with added girders) and so far am delighted with my decision, this has to be a future classic. Just have to learn to use the revs and not rely on torque to make swift progress.
This site has proved most useful, but most of the queries/FAQ's relate to older models with not a lot (yet) on 2008/09 MYs. My query is hesitation on initial throttle application at low speeds such as town driving which makes smooth driving difficult/annoying. I tried the dealer's '08 demonstrator and it had a similar effect and of course told this was 'normal'. Maybe it is to do with the 'drive by wire' throttle? Any help/advice on this would be most appreciated as this is spoiling my enjoyment.
Obviously with the roof up you hear a lot more transmission noise, so tell me please if the diff should be quite so pronounced.
Thanks in advance to anyone with any answers.

 

& welcome!! I'm sure you'll find lots of useful info on this site! Nice move to the S & enjoy!!

Welcome!!

Many drive by wire owners complain of the hesitation. There is a modification offered by Hondata that fixes it in the US cars. But I don't believe it is available on 2.0l cars unfortunately.
