I think it applies equally to the AP2 which I view as continued refinement of the first 3 years!
4 years.

But I agree.

This is my all-time favorite from a 2003 C+D Roadster comparo:

"And if you keep the yellow graphic arc of the tach below, say, 6000, this Honda plays the sweet little zip-about roadster.

Above 6000, no more nice little Honda. The VTEC cams switch to HP max, and the sound hardens to combat steel and you're in the full Formula 1 mode, hell-bent on a grid position at Monte Carlo. Default to fighting reflexes. Lead the arcing yellow as you would a low-flying clay. Don't wait for it to touch the nine-grand redline; you'll be into the rev limiter. Pull. Snick! Push. Snick! Pull. Snick!

Check the mirrors for flashing lights! Whew. How long can you keep living like this?"

This review ultimately inspired me to buy the car. Every time I had second thoughts I re-read this.

I think this needs to be made a sticky. Definitely a nice compilation. Not one bad thing to say about one of the most finely built sports cars of all time. Pretty amazing
