i have to agree with Box. there is no power whatsoever and the CVT has a mind of its own.

great thing is it's easy to drive and got tons of space.

$22k with mats and slimline rego plate

picked it up this arvo from the dealership.

very nice ride. love all the features. probably could do with a bit more power. very easy to drive.

LOVE IT.

Very nice! Can't wait till Wednesday!

Nice!

Called my dealer up today and they're expecting it in on Friday. Should be able to take delivery sometime next week. Excited!

Sweeeeeeeeeeet.

Update from Honda (April shipment):

Can't wait!

Using my dc5r as a daily at the moment and it is killing me! $1.70 a litre!!#%^@!!

got a call from my dealer today saying that the car is still coming in april. though he didn't know when in april. just april.

from the sounds of things, it was nice of him to have at least called...

yeah, this thread kinda made me put down a deposit more quickly than i would have normally.... :)

Just put a deposit down for a black Vibe-S at essendon honda. should be arriving april! w00t!

how much are the JDM ones?

anyone know where i can find the white center caps?

nah, it was the 300.

Thanks.

Got a quote from them, $1395 fully installed. hmm... cheaper than i thought it would be. Now to convince the missus...

I have Tein's as well and unless the roads are smooth, you're gonna have horrible ride comfort. ESPECIALLY if you lower it too much and don't have other mods in place to compensate for the change in...

how costly would it be to get one installed?

update: changed the oil and problem solved. looked like i had about a litre and a half left... shit. car is consuming more and more oil... :(

more info: mine seems to be happening at start up and again everytime i'm coming out of a corner at about 2000-3000rpm. as it approaches or hovers at 3000, the buzzing sound is very apparent.

same problem here. only started appearing this week :( shhhhhhiiittt... more problems.

quite a lot of difference now that the shock absorbers are actually working. and a bit more comfortable now for the daily drive because i'm not all over the place and the tyres are making more...

hey hey

just got these installed today (finally!) thanks to my cuz.

plus:
- more comfortable ride for everyday driving
- car feels more stable (coz my shocks were worn)
- more in control of...

hahaha. that's true. hence i said at least 500km per tank on average. i hardly ever hit the fuel empty light, it usually hits 500km's first. and 50L might be +/- a couple of litres.

i'm assuming all models have a 50L tank? i'm probably wrong.

assuming mine is a 50L tank (02 dc5r), then it's about 10-10.3/100km.

sounds like something i would like to know as well!
