yeah tranny problems have left a bad taste in all our mouths. Many people including me are not going to buy another acura simply because of the way acura has handled the problem.

Good luck on your next car!

man it must be nice.my current ride was more or less a "hand me down" I took it when my mom got her new Honda Minivan in 2000. so I've had it for 4 years now. I've put over 120,000 miles on it in that period. right now it's sitting at 250,000 miles. my goal is to make it to 400,000. I still got 1.5 year of college left so if it last at least till I get a decent job that would be sweet.

Doesn't anyone know that since 1999 home prices have inflated by 21%, thus making it a bad time to buy?
