well today driving home from work we have these circles in the road. LIke where 5 roads meet into one giant circle then you drive around the circle and take the road you want.

Anyways....there really wasnt anyone around, so i figured i would really test out how this baby can go around. I had to go around half the circle to get to my road, then going onto my road its a semi hard right turn

sooooo...its a left all the way around the circle, then a right...

I pushed her and i could not believe how she was just GRIPPING around the circle....very little lean...and just felt totally PLANTED to the road....then here comes the RIGHT, and BOOM.....i let her have some gas and she just PULLS right through the turn like its NOTHING AT ALL!!!! If my car had a brain it would probably think "is that all you've got!!!" BUT I was thinking....WOW THIS CAR IS SO FUN TO DRIVE!!!!!!

I would love to get this thing out on the track and really push her...

1300 miles as of today....and hopefully many more stories to tell!!!!!

einsatz

I did that on a small circle here with my CL-S. Except my reaction was more like "oh holy shit what the fuck" than "wow this car is so fun to drive"... I should try it with the TSX

Uh...wouldn't it have been easier to just say "traffic circles" since I'm sure most people would know what those are.

And yes, this car amazes with the amount of grip it provides, even on the all-season Michelins. Just imagine what the car would be like with summer rubber.

or a "round about"...either way it sounds like fun.

Well i am from PA originally....and back there...........we didnt have ANYTHING like that..... I'm used to fun 2 lane country roads

So I wasn't sure what to call them

I live in Cleveland now....and the roads and traffic patterns are a little crazy to me

TSX 'R' US

Don't worry, I don't have any of those around me either...

I guess you have to live in Jersey to see the humor where we have traffic circles every few miles......

savage

or you can all be masshole like me and call it a "rotary"...

and yeah they are fun...i catch myself taking the longer route home cause it had more turns and less cars on the road...

That's when the TSX excells - it surprises by not having understeer to the extent that most front wheel drive cars do, and taut turning at midspeed is when the car kicks out its best. Just after the breakin period, I was able to drive the Merritt Parkway, lots of tight curves; batting the TSX around at 70/85 was a blast. Love to see what it would do on the Blue Ridge Skyline drive................ In Philly, I love running this car out on the River drives that flank the Schuykill River in Fairmont park; posted at 40, fun to drive at 50 when there is no traffic.

And you can't do this on New Jersey's rotarys because there are too many dippy blue-henna rinse ladies in Buicks driving at 20 mph, peering over the steering wheel and clogging up the drive. Besides, Jersey is gradually killing them off. Route 70 at 2:00 AM used to be fun.

hehe this thread reminds me of the scenes in "European Vacation", the Griswald family going round n round & Chevy Chase going "Look kids ! the big Ben."

Yes, the way this FWD grips the road is quite orgasmic.
