Your HAH's battery will be charged to full or most full capacity as you drive and brake.

Anything can happen to a new car. I think it's generous for your dealer to offer you a free extended warranty, and if I were you I'd take them up on it.

No Spare Tire by merlin180
Jan 01, 2005 (8:01 am)

Hi All,
 
I just watched a program about run-flat tires. I now wonder if the HAH's lack of a spare tire is because it has run-flats or just that Honda includes a quick repair kit for regular tires
 
Comments anyone ?

My HAH has IMS (Instant Mobility System). That is the tool which includes an electric pump to mend and inflate the flat tire. This tool is in the trunk. Only the top Touring Ody uses run flat technology. It means the Ody can run on a flat tire up to 60+ miles/ hour until the driver finds the...Great Almighty Tire Savor.

I purchased the HAH Extended Warranty for additional 3 years bumper to bumper of $1,080 on top the standard 3 years/ 36K miles warranty, deductible is $50 including towing service/ auto club benefits, etc. If I file no claims from year 4th to year 6th that amount will be fully refunded to me at end of the 6th year. It is worthwhile to buy the Extended Warranty to have a peace of mind.
 
What ever negative people says about the HAH, I still find very exciting to drive my HAH, a high performance car, with the MPG at least 30 miles in the city and 38 - 40+ MPG on highways. I have owned so many Hondas (autos and motorcyles) in the last 40 years so I am very confident with Honda's products. HAH, the Top Accord wins again adn again! Go with HONDA/ ACURA for top performance.

As a matter of fact I have been "pampering" my HAH in the garage with a nice car cover to avoid my wife's car jumping on the hood. He did jump up there at least 2 times to get warm but luckily there are no scratches.
 
This morning I drove my 10 year old buddy Accord 95 EX I4 to the supermarket to do some grocery purchases. It still ran like a...DREAM. It has never wanted to stop running with its full force of 145HP. Amazingly ! It ran so smooth, quiet, no vibration. Last night, I drove it to a New Year Eve.'s party and it ran 80 miles/ hour with no vibration or anything else except a little bit road noise due to its...age.
 
I am going to drive my HAH to my uncle's home now to show off to him my new HAH at his request. He is considering to buy a Honda Element soon.
 
I have been very happy with my line of Accords. I do not have the needs to buy an Ody or an Element or a van. Besides, the HAH is my top choice as I have been insane with its rocketing 255HP (110 additional HP compared to my loyal buddy 95 EX).
 
Honestly, I have never disappointed with my Accords' performance as I have maintained them at top conditions. They just run and run. I have been waiting for the HAH for years since Honda introduced the Insight in 1999.
 
I was happy to pay MSRP to get that hot HAH. As I plan to keep it for a long time, therefore, investmentwise I am still OK.

FM radio interference with electric assist by georgepburdell

We have noticed pronounced interference (static) on the FM radio (all channels) when the electric assist engages. It does not happen on the XM radio or on AM radio. Has anyone else noticed this?

Those Accords are tougher than I thought--no scratches even! Although I am at a loss to figure out how your wife's car managed to jump onto the hood of your HAH. You might want to have her car checked at the dealer.

Sorry ! My wife's aggressive Siamese CAT loves to get on the dryer and our cars' hoods to get himself cozy in the winter. I am getting used to the moment when the HAH electric motor engages to boost up power or to stop at stop lights. It is just a little bit different, not significantly different . I have been very impressed with the quietness of the engine. Eerily quiet ! It is worth every single penny I paid out (expensive MSRP). Long live Honda/ Acura. It makes my life a bit happier after working so hard to make a living and to "deal" with "tough headed" co-workers and tenants.

what normally aspirated GM V6 gets more torque than acura's 3.2l? though the peak torque comes at 5000 rpm it's a fairly flat torque curve.
 
if there's a problem with the 3.2l it would having too much torque for a FWD vehicle.
 
my accord V6 jumps off the line and doesn't need high rpm to drive with spunk though revving up the engine is hard to resist sometimes.
 
there's no comparison between GMs 3.5l/3.8l and honda's V6s be it at 1/10, 2/10 .... 10/10 speed.
 
yes, i have driven many miles with GM's 3.8l and have a reference for comparison.
 
GM should be applauded for the gas mileage they have achieved with the 3.5l but then you're not getting the same performance as with a honda V6 and you have to deal with the agriculture sounds from the pushrod.
 
i guess GM is just being stupid in having the lacrosse CXS propelled with their 3.6l OHC. never mind that it has more muscle at all speeds than the 3.8l.
