I don't know how true this is, but I also hope there is no one in this country silly enough to try it

WOOT??? it goes from 0-100 in 12 sec!!! :(

[Sludge]

Can't wait to forward that on to my Holden mates, who have been calling me a pussy!

Thanks Buddah. That's what I like about this car it is no poser, it just does it!

[denot]

^^^ hmmm sludge, I thought from that video I reckon CU2 is slow? ppl do 0-100km/h in 7sec-ish on the 1.8L Civic...

[OMG.JAI xD]

Holy geez.

That thing is slow.

The cl9 does better than that. :/

What the hell.

[Sludge]

What makes you guys think they were flat out up the range. I thought that it was about top speed not 0 to 100. Plus it was over 3 seconds in to the tape before he hit the gas and about 11 in when it hit 100k. Where is the problem?

If you want stats on acceleration there have been plenty of tests done.

ACURA!

Btw i heard that Acura will be in OZ around another 3yrs or less... And maybe the V6 of the Euro will be true..

[OMG.JAI xD]

Acura is just american brand for honda.

Not much different.
If anything theyd start producing american acuras under the honda badge.

0 to 100kph times have never concerned me, to achieve the best resukt you need to thrash the car, not my cup of tea. a classic example is people who sidestep a clutch to get the quickest possible launch, but who in their right mind would do that to their own car....count me out

You are dreaming if you really believe that. It is 1200kg and only 103kw.

And that video doesn't show the Euro driving at 255kph. It is as indicated on the speedo but the true speed was probably closer to 240kph.

That's not an Acura, the speedo would be in MPH, probably a European accord.

it doesnt concern me as well buddah, but a bit power would be good... coz when u drive to kiama lookout (60+ degree hill) with AC on (its 41 degree outside) and pedal was flat to the floor, but then you see the speedometer on the Civic Sports dropping very fast from 35km/h to 25 km/h and counting on the 1st gear. That is not good isnt it? I have to turn off the AC, pedal still flat to the floor on 1st gear. and finally it stays @ 20 km/h while my uncle Lancer std who was just in front of me was already gone. Mind you my civic only has a passanger and myself, while he has 5 people on it and AC on...

I suggest i have driven that road more often than you Denot, but there are even steeper climbs on some roads. I think a max of 20 kph in 1st gear up there is stretching it a little.

What's really funny is reading all the comments left by yanks who think it's a yankee Accord and not their Acura TSX and those who are trying very hard to convince them it's a TSX or that it's just the "rebadged" european version of the TSX, who some have heard might be called the Accord in europe! And then there are those who suspect that it's a Benz.

I remember reading a thread on Acurazine where one of them discovered that the TSX is (shock horror) actually a rebadged Honda Accord that the rest of the world gets to play with and not a model specifically developed by Acura for the USA.

It was legal once; and we were young (and stupid).

You are right.If it was a TSX the speedo would've been in mph.

ya buddah... there's one like that here in Kingsford area as well... anyway, the problem I have is because my uncle lancer which is $12k cheaper than my Civic sports doesnt have this problem and he can go with 2nd gear on 30km/h :(

Is there something wrong with your civic? Because I can go up the one in Kingsford at the speed limit (50) in 3rd gear. Don't need 1st gear.

aaronng... do you do this after stoping @ the stop line before the hill? Strange coz my max was 45 km/h and I think its on 2nd gear (auto not using paddle shift)

[Crapdaz]

[denot]

^^ Well dont care nemore coz I traded it in this Sat :)
