my new acura drive like a horse

I just bought the car for only 3 week. Now it only have 450 miles on it. On last friday, it was run ok. I put my car in the garage and i do not drive it until today, I can't believe it. I dont' know how to explain but I feel like I ride a horse.
I hate acura TL now. I made a wrong decision when I bought this car. I never enjoy it. I'm thinking of trade it with lexus IS350

u need to find a way to explain whats goin on. wht do u mean drives like a horse? is it galloping lol? are your tires properly inflated? did you put the ebrake down? possibly bend a rim? those are the only things i can think of that'll effect your ride comfort.

How about taking it to the dealer? Can you describe your problem more?

maybe he's not use to the "sportier" ride and thinks the ride is rough?

I'm with ya, I have no idea what that says. That may be the most confusing group of words I have ever seen. He bought it 3 weeks ago, put it away friday, drove it again today and there is a problem? Thats what I got out of that. Didn't you test drive it? Why would you buy a car you hate? You need to elaborate on the problem(s) because some of us don't own horses...well we all have 270 of them until that blasted power steering pump steals 12. But you might be talking about a real horse. I hope you're not talking about a mustang.

from the post, it sounds like the ride was fine at first, but now it rides like a horse, whatever that means.

your best bet is to take it to the dealer and try to explain it to someone there, or better yet just let them drive it...they can probably fix it for you and it's probably covered under your warranty.

I didn't want to come out of character on my last post, but seriously, this is one of the worst posts I've ever seen. It's not even so much that the english was bad, I'ts that the post contains NO good information. Let me sum up your post: "I don't like my Acura". Why not just write that? Or better yet, post it on a Lexus board.

The ONLY good thing about this post is the freakin bunny with a pancake on it's head. I don't know where you got that but that was damn funny.

You sit on the roof with the reigns in each hand. Or maybe you attach it to a buggy first. Man, I wish I had time to do a photoshop.

No, you'd sit on the hood. the cabin would be the carriage, and no self-respecting modern horse-carriage taxi rider would sit on top of the cabin!

Seriously, though, he needs to elaborate. seems like he hates this car with a passion. we need info on what exatly the car is doing.

Man we've got some funny people around here.

scv76_ - yes, some tires still flat spot...the OEM Bridgestones on the non-navi models can do it after sitting overnight sometimes.

I bought my car 3 weeks ago, at this point I have 450 miles on the odometer. I drove it last Friday and it ran fine. I had parked it in the garage and did not drive it again until today. I can't believe it and I don't know how to explain it but it feels like I'm riding a horse.

Fortunately for you guys, I studied "complete idiot" in college so the translation was relatively easy. The main problem when translating from complete idiot to english is the true meaning of many adjectives they use is entirely subjective. Therefore what KevinAcura actually means when he says, "I feel like I ride a horse" may never actually be known.

Now this IS funny. I laughed my a-- off when I read this response.

Our friend is not alone. There are many on this site who have little knowledge of the English language and of the written word in general. And I'm talking native Americans (no, not the aboriginals). Writing is much more than an art form. It speaks of who you are and how you think. Doing it well speaks volumes about you and separates you from others as someone of content.

But this was one funny thread. Hope our friend takes it in good stride.
