Wow, I had to check the top of the page. I almost posted like I would in ramblings.

YEH

A much easier fix than all the mis-aligned gaps on the Crosstour - most of them, which one would just have to live with unless you're going to have the dealership pretty much redo the whole interior.










Exactly.

The last gen Odyssey had 5 recalls for its 1st year model (including for an incorrectly assembled steering column), but it turned out to be quite reliable over its cycle.

Costco

for future reference, Invisible is like SSFTSX sans the obsession of quoting car magazines and with a better grasp of the English language.

I guess that's not saying much. They have some sort of agenda against Hyundai and Kia. Must be a blood oath to Honda Motor Company.... the reason why they are so against Honda's competition is because said competition threatens their very existence!!!

I think Dom and Moog would beg to differ

YEH

True, indeed.

I guess that's why they aren't posting about Mitsubishi or Suzuki.

I agree with you. I don't think forum is a good indication of a car's reliability. This is why I found that it was interesting when someone made a poll here and asked who on this forum never had the famous 2G TL tranny problem. I pretty much said the same thing you did - an average driver won't come to the forum if his/her car is fine.

The response?

"People do not come to this forum if they have transmission problems. People came to this forum because they had TL/CL.... Average TL/CL drivers are clueless about tranny problems anyways.. they would just think it is an isolated problem.."

Yeh, my point is that every car can have issues. It's just a matter of how hard you try to find the problems. And for most cases, a simple google search is enough.

Wow, Im shocked they still havent fixed the glove box issue. Both my brothers '08 coupe and my mothers '08 sedan have a mis-aligned glove box and there is no way to adjust them.

Invisible

Is this the same problem in the Sonata. Who is it, Insideline that has had their Sonata front struts replaced three times and Hyundai still can't get the car to not pull.

dom

As bad as my Ody has been to me, I still realize that the 3rd gen as a whole has been pretty good.

And hey, I haven't had to visit the dealer for 6 months, we're on a roll.

NJ SHAWD

AFAIK, Kia has the issue resolved on any builds after 3/11. That being said, I would assume they have fixed it on earlier builds. I believe it was not replacement of parts, just simple adjustments.

Invisible

I guess Hyundai and KIA is unable to fix the poor sucker's vehicles built before that date.

I know my experience with a KIA(I have a brain fart and gave KIA a chance), they never could fix the HVAC, nor the brakes, and it too pulled to the right.

I luckily found a Mercedes dealership that took it on a trade with out too much of a loss.

NJ SHAWD

Actually they have, it was an adjustment to the rear alignment specs. I see the brain fart thing though

It's a first year model after all.....it's understandable.

what is wrong with changing oil every 3000 miles??? i do it with my accord.

When SSFFTSXXXD is not quoting articles, he would give you some intelligent statements like:

- How matter how you floor a TSX, it will not get lower than 22mpg
- fastest speed possible in 3rd gear is Not at redline
- his TSX is not stock because he purchased Honda Optional 18" Chrome with Race tires. (on he said it is Advan.)

SSFTSX will be back he's busy enlightening the 4G TL guys. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=740430&page=2

Costco

he is a true troll. He stirs up thread necros 2 years later.

I still can't wrap my mind around how he was such an Audi fanboy early on in his career, only to later proclaim that the TSX is the best car in the universe.

He was an Audi fanboy before????

No worries, he's going to change his mind when he gets a new car.

It'll be funny if he gets a turbo Optima and starts to preach the Godness of Optima all of a sudden.

oonowindoo

some of the things he said in that TL vs TSX (i4) thread are more unbelievable than the things he said here...

It's like saying 328 is better than 535.. or 335 is more refined than 550.

Costco

I can definitely see it. And yes, he was all about Audi before, and he bashed Honda, despite proudly stating that he owned a TSX in his signature. Of course, people gave him crap for it and he completely ignored it.

If any of you plan on trolling message boards, follow his example

JS + XES

He's certainly one of the legendary trolls of online forums in our age.

Hapa DC5

Legendary troll of all time. One thing I do admire about that guy is he is so dry and lacking of any type of personality it's comical. You could call him whatever you want. he'll stay the course riding honda's nuts (first Audi) and never return with any personal insults.

I think his skin is made with carbon fiber or maybe he's a robot?

pttl

seems like you guys are missing someone...

Hapa DC5

total bot. reminds me of that one AIM bot who would have mindless convos with you.

Hapa DC5

I miss him like I miss the camel spiders in Iraq. Sure they were fun kinda like SSFTSX, they were foreign like him, had no idea why they existed, and seemed to always get the other Marine's attention, but the minute one gets too close to you, you just want to stomp them because they didn't seem to serve any purpose at all.

SSFTSX is the camel spider and AZ is the vast Iraqi desert. https://lhsvirtualzoo.wikispaces.com/Camel+Spider

Hapa DC5

Throw an Acura emblem on it and we're good to go.

pttl

Great analogy!

Costco

Maybe he/she/it is a robot, preprogrammed by Honda to only say good things about them. Somewhere along the lines, the algorithms got messed up and instead of commenting about useful things

I propose a motion to change the name 'SSFTSX' to 'ASIMO'

I do miss baiting msl82 and Manual transmission though. They would get incredibly butthurt every time you dissed Hyundai/Kia. Too bad they aren't around to butt heads with SSF. The ensuing shitstorm would be something to watch.

JS + XES

Seriously, I would love to see SSFTSX and msl82 going head to head.

You skeered him away

Dammsit!

Hey, while we're in intermission, I made a run to Syracuse and back over the last two days. Going up I had the air on and the cruise set to 69. I averaged 33 mpg driving through the mountains of western NJ / PA / and upstate NY. Coming home I had the air off and the cruise at 65 and averaged 38.4.
I love this tire shredding, excessive oil changing, epic failure of a car.

TSX can do that at top speed in third gear whole way. Most aerodynamic oil changes.





Its actually hurting my brain to mock him.

Hapa DC5

What a piece of shit. Time to trade it in for a TSX!
