Just got back from phoenix... what a drive

Def an upgrade from my 2005. Transmission is even smoother- makes my 05 feel a little clunky. Im not sure if anyone else noticed, but I defiantly had less leg room in the CR. A very noticeable amount. The new seats just dont seem to go as far back. Right now my 05 seats feel more comfy, but they are also broken in

Also, how do you know if VSA is turned off or on? my button doesnt seem to indicate anything. Another thing, is the defroster on the center console near the shifter, unique to the CR? Is that the defroster for the Hardtop? Could just be an 06+ thing? not sure...

I really like the interior accents. I think honda totally nailed it with the CR.... at least in black. The yellow goes great with the black but I feel it only works with black and yellow CRs.

One thing I am not use to... swirl marks. Its really noticeable on black (this is my first black car) I feel like monkeys must have washed this car a dozen times as it sat on dealer lots -**** - it'll buff out though

Car feels much more planted, with a lot more grip. I have 255s on my 05, but the they arent as good. The RE070's are fantastic! I can tell a difference in the suspension - car feels a lot more responsive- could be the steering ratio, either way, it feels really solid - will give a better impression once I get it on the track though.

I paid 29,006 OTD. It is a 2008 with 900 miles - I feel like I got a pretty solid deal. No real extras other than gap insurance. I did end up paying a doc fee too, but I didnt mind too much..Ill throw a dog a bone.


and now for some shitty iphone pics...

Oh yeah, not sure if it was location, but I got some big stares in this car, and a "nice car" comment form an older lady. I think she was looking for a sugar daddy though

With so many CR owners now on the boards, any have plans to retrofit a working convertible top? Might defeat the purpose but the usability of a soft top is not far fetched.

On a more serious note, sick CR. I how the berlina black CR looks.

I just traded in my '07 SS for an apex blue '08 yesterday.

The car had been sitting on the dealer's lot for over a year. I thought I'd do it justice by buying it. There's one last apex blue left on the floor, but that one looks poorly attended to. I think that's the one that every regular schmoe off the street was able to drive around without any questions...
In fact, one of the salesman told me a few days before I pulled the trigger on this CR that he "let a guy test drive it with me in the car and he took it up to 115 like nothing." Idk if he was bullshitting to make the car seem cool or not but I'm glad I didn't buy the one that had been molested continuously by guys wanting to test drive a CR. Then again, mine was sitting on the showroom floor for over a year so there's a chance that someone did test drive it recklessly, but . The car is perfect now that I own it.

Side note: need more apex blue users to get the guy to make the keyhole caps..... I know it's a simple thing but I hate the keyholes exposed.. (sort of like the shiney exhaust tips kinda bug me)
Now that you have the car someone please step -up on the group buy deal
