Enjoying my new PWP!!!
Finally,last night we managed to get to Northshore Acura with the plates.My friend there did the delivery for me. 
My feeling till now is"drives like a dream"
Didn't do any spirited driving at all since my wife was in the car.However,I can definitely feel the engine power and cornering capability.This morning I was on my way back home and tried to use sport shift give engine a bit more run.One shift down,the rpm climbed to almost 5.1k,the car was like a bullet. 
Humm,maybe I am coming from a 92 Accord EX-R,the power and handling on TSX made me so happy and that's way more than what I want from it.
This morning I went out and noticed some dust on the dash board and centre console already??
Guess I need to go to Canadian Tire today and grab some stuffs to protect my new babay.
Haven't paired my V3 yet,gonna try it when I head out to work this afternoon.The sound system is what I kinda feel
I was using 4 alpines in my old accord and somehow they sound a bit deeper than the 8 Pioneers now.Maybe just needs some break-in,if they still sound like this in a month,then Alpine components should be on the list then. 
Wait for a sunny day and wash my car then take some pictures.Right now I have only one back end shot.

Want to put in some of driving impressions.Wowwww,the HIDs are sooo bright! The road ahead looks like day time when I was driving in some small roads without street lights. I have to admit that I personally think the PWP looks even greater at night.Tonight I have to work,tomorrow when I work the morning shift,I will go for a cruise at night.

Ok,the MPG right now is 11.2 L/100 AVG. Like say 21MPG? 60% city and 40% freeway.Humm,maybe the car is too new,I will wait a bit longer to see how's it look like.Only 80kms on the car now but gauge dropped 1/4 already?

Are dealers even allowed to put stickers like that? Shouldn't they ask the customer if they want the sticker before putting free advertisement right on the car? I'd be pissed if my dealer put crap like that on my car...... especially hard to remove crap like that

What I really can't stand are dealers who put their crappy metallic badges on the rear of the car that says the name of the dealership the car was bought from! That's just shitty business practice right there. Tacky as hell!

Looks almost as purty as my '06 PWP (#150)!
Somebody at your dealership needs to be slapped, though. If they're going to put on a eff'in dealer sticker, at least PUT IT ON STRAIGHT!!
(I'm not the only one who sees that it's crooked, right?)
Mileage sucks at the beginning, I got 21 something at first, too. After awhile, though... it kinda continues to suck, as far as I can tell. I just passed 2,000 miles, I'm most of the way through my latest tank, and I'm reading 22.6 mpg for this tank. (Full disclosure: yeah, it's an AT... but that's a first, I rowed for thirty years). My short in-town stoplight-ridden commute barely gets the car warm, though, so I probably get the lowest possible mileage (as well as eventually going through a lot of exhaust systems).
Funny thing is, the last time I filled up, the car was warm and I jumped right on the highway, and I got that Trip A display up to 32.6 mpg over the first couple dozen miles. I guess the MID teaches you how different cold town and hot highway driving really are.

Ok,guys.Rained last night. However my car still looks fine,just a bit dirty at the back.
Two things I really wanna say.First is kinda like a problem There is some rattling sound in the carbin when I go over uneven roads,like.....tough to tell where it is,but somewhere close to the centre console.It sounds like"da da da da da" Don't know if it's the well-known "seat vibration"or what.I will spend some more time and try to identify it.
Second thing is,my poor driving skill. This morning I was on a uphill road while the traffic was bad,my car always roll back,it's an AT,but........and some big domestic pickup was so close to my tail at the back.

Done with the Paint and Leather protection just now......The price is ................. Really really low.........hard to believe myself........But,at least,the bottom line is,I got a free-wash.
