Default Picked up our HCH II Tonight!!

Wow-a lot more pep than I expected, especially after driving our 2003 Acura TL Type S (260 HP, 232 Ft. lb.).

Love the handling and slowly getting used to the auto-stop. I wish I had the time to just drive the car all day...

The GPS Navi is great but the audio card can't read MP3's that are VBR encoded as most of my MP3 files are...

Looking forward to running, with G-d's will, for many years to come!!!

Will add details as we break it in...

Congrats! I was surprised too with the cars acceleration. I actually like the way this car shifts compared to the regular Civic I test drove. My wife is averaging 43 on her first tank.

Mickster,

Welcome to GH and HCH II ownership. Most of the owners who post here are very happy about their cars. I hope you enjoy yours. I have learned quite a bit here on the GH site. Be sure to post your milege in the database. I've been amazed at how Consumer Reports rates the mileage versus the EPA and the GH database. They should take lessons from us! Good luck with your new ride!

Regards,

Magnetic Pearl w/Navi. We were originally going to take delivery on a silver one in June but the dealer called, said he had a magnetic pearl coming in and that the person who was on the wait list wanted Silver, would we take it now?

I said absolutely as we wanted Magnetic Pearl but had settled for silver initially

Is it "break" bad habits or "brake" bad habits - probably both. I find I still give the car gas when I start it. I'm trying to set mirrors, fasten seat belt, remove park brake, and start the car without touching the gas - sometimes I forget. Have fun with your new ride!
Regards,
