yea i brought in my car for service over the weekend but it wasnt done and i needed to be back down in socal for school.. so im driving my sisters 02 accord LX.. this thing is a big downgrade, no climate control, no sunroof, no abs, no leather, less horsepower and it feels like the ride height is higher up
and its a VERY common car

but at least it has keyless entry

 

Sucks... I know how it feels, makes it that much more exciting when u get her back tho!

 

Look on the bright side. It uses less gas.

 

i feel ya mizouse... i know your pain all too well...

 

feel your pain. i wont last a day without my car

 

Is it really that much of a difference? I'm at about 24/29 (city/hwy mpg) right now.

 

Well, it can potentially be a huge difference. My car averages around 19mpg mixed. I fill up every 3 or 4 days. When I had my '90 Accord (my dad drives that now), I fill up every week or two and it usually yielded at least 27mpg. That's an extra 6mpg. Now that car has about 230k miles, it still gets around 25mpg so it's not bad at all.

 

ohh yea the mileage on the accord is good, i can on average get like a bit more than 400 miles to a tank, where as the TL is around 300

 

I live with no sunroof either, but that's on my TL. Argh! I wish I had heated seats too! I average 21mpg city and 32 - 34 highway.

 

dammit i want my car back

 

yay im gonna get to drive it when i go back home for thanksgiving, too bad im flying back home so i guess ill get my car back come winter break.. what sux is too, there is someone with my exact car, paint, wheels and everything, parked near my apartment, just sitting there teasing me

 

you know it was weird driving the TL on thanksgiving, i was able to tell the differences between a 97' 2.5TL and a 02' Accord LX, for one thing the ride height of the accord feels much higher than the TL, and the steering on the TL is much more loose and easier to turn than the accord, the accord is pretty stiff and takes a slight amount of force to turn. definately can feel the power different between the 2 (150hp vs ~176hp) handling wise, the TL wins on that, can take turns a bit faster and more stable. ohh and the pillar that has the seatbelt connected to it, its sits farther back than the accord, what i mean is when you look over your left shoulder to check your blind spot, in the accord the pillar is smack dab in the middle of your view, in the TL is off to the left more giving you a better view, and thats about all i can remember for now

anyways im gonna be getting back my car friday, cant wait to get back the leather seats, no more static shocks, and the climate control cant wait!~!!!!

im gonna miss the keyless entry thou
