Very little seat wear.
Coin holder is loose (hardly a big deal).
Previous owner replaced transmission coupling.
Preventatively replaced ignition.
needs a new cam-seal.
Car handles very well around corners and has tons of torque off the line, but lacks decent acceleration past 30-40 kilometers per hour.
Still feels very solid with little wind noise on the highway. Seems like Acura could have programmed it to get better fuel economy.
It's having a starting problem now. It'll start properly, the RPM's will shoot up normally then dip just too low, around 200-300 and sputter and die. Only happens occasionally, and when the car is warmed up. I haven't looked at it yet really.
Overall good experience with it, smart choice if (like all cars) it's in good shape.
Your start up issues where the car dies on restart on warm is classic main relay issue. Easy fix for replacement or repair.
The starting problem seems to have subsided, don't know why, I just hope it stays this way. Replacing the front rotors now.
Turns out it was the ignition switch, replaced that, then a couple of weeks later it started doing it again. Solution? TOYOTA RAV4. Bought a 98 rav4 and haven't looked back.
