Nice can u use the side controls with the radio setup. I want to get a new radio setup that has a ipod hook up and new speakers. GPW owners i love the CR in GPW. I should have waited for that color combo instead of going with the RioYellow which is my second favroite.

Hey guys wanted some advice from CR owners. I currently DD the CR and leting the GF drive the previa till she can get a good car. Well the previa runs but its a beater for sure. I have a dog and shes geting big fast i can't put her in the CR any more did once and she threw up in it. And now she is to big for it. Now she can fit into the previa but i do like to travel and don't trust the previa on long trips. The GF is in college and works part time. I am considering selling the CR and picking up a used Rav4 or a civic/fit for around $13-15k and maybe picking up a regular used S in good shape in about a year or so. Am i crazy i feel like it. But i could use more room in my DD and it would save me money on insurance, gas and tires for sure not saying that the CR costs a boat load to drive. But it's hard for me to want to part with this fun car. Also i payed alot of it off. I payed $35k for it and owe $20k right now. So i also feel if i sell it i would be loosing all that money. Well enough of me rambling on thanks for any input

If you don't have a reliable daily driver, it's time to move on and get rid of the CR. The CR is a fun car to drive, but NOT a great example of something to rack up the miles on. Owners can debate me all they want, but they're fighting an uphill battle.
There will ALWAYS be another car out there to enjoy! Get something reliable for yourself and your pup, get it paid off, and then buy a toy later on. Your idea of a RAV4 is smart, but being a Honda guy you might add a CR-V to that list.

Car is back from the dragon...
Dent on the front bumper from an inadvertant roll-back into my car from another S2k owner, 2 chips in the hood from rocks hitting my car, and a chip in my windshield..
OH... and it finally clicked over 2000 miles..
off curiousity, has anyone noticed any loud squeaking noises from the passenger seat (with someone sitting in it)? I'm not sure where it's coming from (and it's not the typical non-CR seatbelt rub against the seat)...

Sorry to hear about the damage Mocky. Hopefully it should be a matter of PDR though.
What are your impressions now that you've actually driven it?
I knew I made the right choice trading in my AP1 after I took the CR to the dragon last year. Totally fell in love with the car again.
What was the total count of CR's this year? Last year it was 1

Ohh no...I cry when every little bit of dmg happens.
And about the squeak or creak that i assume your reffering to i havent had any noise from any of my seats so I dont know. Was this during the dragon on some hard twisties?
I personaly havent had anyone in the passenger while doing some rough driving.

spray down all the bushings with lube (PB Blaster, WD-40) one by one and check for squeeking after each one to help narrow down the culprit. when you find it you can bring it up with the dealer and have them address it.
