I just like the fact that it's not a 'buzzy' 4 cyl. My old Audi 1.8t and my GF's 09 corolla are buzzy lil beasts. You can feel it in the chassis/wheel and hear it.

This acura is pretty smooth.

Part of the reason is that most larger 4 cylinder engines has counter balance shaft to reduce vibration, whereas smaller ones (under 2.0L) normally don't. Yes, our 2.4L I4 is pretty smooth.

no "just as NAWS" replies? We must be dealing with an average reader over 25 years old.

Much appreciated.

just put it in 3rd gear.

Agreed. And.... I pretty sure that anyone (like me for instance) that has taken the time to learn how to drive and/or get the most out of the AT could match an MT car 60-80 (or to 100 for that matter).

totally agree- if you want power- fork the cash for the V6. Love my 4- not a stoplight screamer but great around town, great MPG, and looks cool too...
