Hi Everyone: Just figured that seeing as how no one has posted any messages lately, that I'd post the 1st message of the year. Happy New Year to all and to all...
I've had snow tires for the last couple of years on the EL and they are also Toyo's...Observe X-10's to be exact. They shortly discontinued them and the G0-2,...
Unfortunately this is rather late in the season to be thinking about snow tires. Your choices are going to be limited. 1. I have snow tires on since...
Hey guys, I have a 99 1.6EL and I live in "Winterpeg" (although I've been living in the GTA for the past 1.5 years going to school). I've spent the holidays...
The other thing about the Blizzaks is that the siping only goes about 60% of the way down the tread, so once your tread wears down to that point, you've got...
Hi Acura Owners, Damn, my 2003 EL is less than four months old and it was keyed very badly yesterday during Vancouver's snow and cold snap. Didn't notice it...
Dean, That royally sucks. Hopefully it's not that serious. It depends on where the scratch is. If it's on a door or one of the side panels, repair shops tend ...
$181.95 for service at the local dealer!!! Does this seem extreme to anyone else? I would like to have my car serviced at the dealership but maybe not at...
... Well, just take a pocket knife and cut yourself some more sipings. :-) People, ditch the Firestone tires. They suck on dry pavement, they suck in the...
I have Michelin Artic Alpines on my '01 EL. This is the first year I have had these tires and they are a world of difference from the stock Firestones. I would...
I think a lot of the '32,000 km' service is not required. I declined it and just got the oil change. A lot of that stuff are just 'inspections' that I don't...
Happy New Year to all, I'm thinking of trading in my older 97 TL for a wagon. After having gone through another Xmas season of cramming all of my stuff into...
My answers: 1. yes 2. Toyo Observe G-02 3. Excellent, quieter than I expected, but quite soft (as you'd expect) 4. they are incredible in the snow, excellent...
There was the RDX concept shown at some auto shows in 2002, which resembles a crossover vehicle...ie Matrix, Vibe, but larger. Honda has indicated they will...
I completely agree. Ride quite nicely, are quiet in the dry (compared to stock Firestones and summer Kumhos). But they do sound like a jet when it is wet! ...
They make the TSX (aka Euro Accord) in a wagon version in Europe/Asia. I doubt it will come to North America though, we aren't as crazy over rear hatches as...
Boy am I happier and happier with my Acura of late. Tonight I picked up my brother's Nissan Sentra SE-R from a Nissan dealer after it failed to start up...
... The claim will go under comprehensive damage not collision, so he won't get hit much if any. Now if you have to make a second comprehensive claim within...
I think that depends on what it is. Yes, if I don't do scheduled oil changes, then my powertrain warranty will definitely be void. But I don't think I have to...
... What other value-added services are they performing for that princely sum? Or are they really charging you that much for simple visual inspections and ...
I'm very happy about my 1.7EL (2001) despite the rattles, which I've cured except for a few minor ones. It's reliable, even in this winter weather. My brother...
Are there any issues with not starting the car for a week or so? When I returned after the Xmas break, I started the car and no problem. Second day I started...
I have a 2001 EL and am regularily on call for my work and am provided with a company truck. That means that for 1 week out of every 5 my car sits for a week...
Just for informational purposes, how do the Michelin Pilot Alpin compare to the less performance oriented Arctic Alpin? Would there be a trade-off in winter...
... to ... winter performance? The Pilot Alpin has much stiffer sidewall than the Arctic Alpin. That seems to be the number one complain of the Artic Alpin,...
Now that Honda has released a Civic Si Sedan, do you think the Acura EL has seen its last days? I think many of us agree that Acura needs to work on its...
