Why are we so high?

Does it bother anyone that we have a fairly high center of gravity in the TSX?

Love,

Yes, its harder for me to reach the middle part of the windshield since I'm only 5'1 and my gets in the way. I need a stepladder to clean the windshields good as well as the roof of the car when I wash it. My civic was way easier to clean.

Yes, you keep referring to the but without pictures, it's not helping us figure out just how big this problem is. How can we help if we don't know how big the problem is.

The car is a bit high, aspec would solve it a little bit. I usually don't complain about being high though.

at least if you use a neti pot, you are less likely to be caught pickin a booger at a stop light ...it's a nasal douche.


The feeling of somewhat high CofG is something I noticed too but until I mod it for road course fun by lowering/swaybars/coilovers, I'll live with it. I think part of that "feel" may be softish suspension related body sway because if I just grit my teeth and throw it into a curve it comes thru OK; the double wishbones provide very nice feel compared to other FWD's I've driven.

May I suggest washing your car in a white T' and start drying off the roof of the car first? (make-shift wet T contest... ) j/k

it's high b/c if it's to low, the gas mileage will be bad.

imagine people who lower their tsx, i hear you drop down to 1mpg.

and we wont even talk about the volume control button. i hate it.

Nah I'm not that skinny. I haven't been to the gym in awhile, but I'm at least lucky that my extra fat settles in some decent places.
