132 mph is 5th at 8200 rpm. When I shifted to 6th, the combination of a tall 6th gear and aerodynamics kept me there. I think at redline in 6th, if possible, would be like 186, ha. My worst has been 21 mpg and best was 32.

can't believe this...
 
'06 LX coupe AT, 2 months old, 3200 miles. within the first two weeks had to bring it back to the dealer for a clunking in the rear of the car. dealer had the car the whole day, couldn't figure it out. eventually it went away on its own (?)...
 
now as the weather cools off I've noticed at least three separate dashboard rattles, and when the windows are open partway they rattle in their tracks.
 
never had a new car rattle this badly. in fact, my '99 yukon doesn't rattle this much, nor did my 25 year old benz after 130k miles.
 
is anyone else getting all these rattles?

If you didn't know... most of the new Hondas are rattle traps. Try a better brand. Stick with the germans.

No rattles on my SI. A little over 1000 miles. Nothing like the VW GTI I owned (1998 VR6 and 2001 1.8T). Talk about rattles. And mechanical problems! But, I don't have time to go into that!

and get to know your service advisor better than you know your wife. In the 9 years and 98k miles, my civic has but one rattle, when open the sunroof to anything other than vent or fully open. Anecdotal I know.
 
Any interest I had in VW went away when they got rid of their air cooled motors. On top, I just listen to my Bro IL regale me with tales of the VW service department he worked in. Scary as shot.

I have two Hondas with no rattles. Since you don't have them listed in your profile, might I ask what exactly do you drive?

I drive a Subaru WRX STI and a Honda Prelude(no rattles in this one). You say you have two Hondas with no rattles. It is not hard to believe especially if they are older and built in Japan. The new ones are a disappointment.

So your insinuating that USA and Canadians build an inferior product than the Japanese, even though it is a Japanese Company? I disagree. The quality control standards remain the same. I would be more worried about your STI blowing up. Those Turbo's cause the engines to lose alot of life.
