Uhh... The beauty of a small car 4 Cyl and 3 AT gears...

4 Cylinders... that means at 70+ HW speeds the neon is just like humming bee... Very annoying to your ears...Small car 130 lbft and 132 HP with only 3 gears makes up for throtle repsonse...

Throtle response at high speed is just as linear as if your are driving your CLS in 3rd all time ....

Imaging driving in 3rd all the time at 3500-4500 rpm all the time...

Oh driving at 80MPH in this trash can is possible.. It is not racing or sporty car but it does pick up some speed..

my sister has a neon, it is by far the worst new car available. if you go over 75-80 it becomes realy loud and you feel like it will take off and fly away.

130 Hp 3 gears ... Can I say 1/2 CLS .... Not even....

I am just praying to the mercefull GOD to give me back my CLS today...

I have a feeling in my guts that I will recieve a call from Sunnyside that says" Sir, as usual we can not get your CLS serviced on time, can we keep it overnight?"

Uh,... as expected, my CLS will not be ready today ... It is scheduled to be ready sometime tommorrow...

Things that is done:
1) New interior door handle replaced.
2) Fixed one dashboard rattle, one can not be duplicated.
3) Low ATF level, is Okay with Acura Tech line, to be topped it off.
4) EVAP Canister, the tech can not duplicate this, I called againg and stressted that the CLS needs to be warmed up and the ticking noise is only at engine idle.... New EVAP valve Should be ordered if this is comfirmed.
5) New Brake pads and rotors are resurfaced.
6) Wash and Interior Vac.

I have to live with the neon for additonal 18hrs or so.
