2: The size of the car. No longer is this a medium sedan which I like, it's bigger in size than a falcodore! Parking can be a PITA because of it. It's easier to park my Prado lol!
3: Throttle response. It's put your foot down, wait 2 seconds, then it responds. Why is it so? My Prado has instant throttle response FFS!!!

What I love about the CU2?
The fuel economy! The price! The quality! The standard features on the base model! It's only a few $k more than the civic, but shits all over it quality and features wise. It's the perfect run around car. Even better now at $30k drive away!

Just use it as a run around mate, you now have the perfect performance car ...... until you get your Porsche ..... lol

...no keyless go
Sterrung wheel is big ..


The cu2 is heavier than the cl9 ... .. ButI don't think they are heavy...
Perhaps they are just not fast enough .... Underpower...
The euro needs a turbo ...Or another 50 horse power

I thought the steering wheel was pretty small in comparison to a Camry...

it doesnt need 50 horse, it just need more torque at lower RPM's

it needs 400nm of torque from 2000rpm to make it fun...

sports cars come with smaller steering wheels.. so Euro is sportier than Camry.. although having a flat bottomed steering wheel is more fun :p

CU2 is a comfy run around and you can park in most shopping centers without the fear of some loosers keying your car (i've seen a WRX keyed on both sides of the car front to back! my friend's GTI got poured Boost juice drink on its roof! etc.. etc... )

The thing I hate about the Euro... The paint. It's very soft and easily damaged. It's so soft and sticky that polishing it properly without just creating more scratches and holograms is very difficult. You have to be super careful when washing the car.

I take it you got black? Renowned problem for this colour in particular. The clear coated ones are better, but are still on the soft side, and still get a bit sticky.

Steering wheel is tiny man!
Yep, +50hp would be nice! I would say the V6 just like USA got, but it just adds more weight.....

Yup, I have a well-kept Nighthawk Black. But it's not just nighthawk black that has the problem.

All Euros have the same clearcoat, and it's this sticky soft clear coat that's the problem. Scratches and marks show up a lot more on the darker colours - black being the worst, swirls, marks and scratches are far more visible. Graphite, cobalt blue, mocha and solid red all suffer (with red having the double whammy of turning pink with prolonged UV exposure). White and silver are just as succeptible to marring, but it isn't as visible as it is on the darker colours.
