God. It looks scary....
Maybe I should get the TSX, Built in Japan. out for 6 months+, and Interior quality is much more refined...

That's an extreme case, his vin is 259, and had around 60 or so miles on it when he got it. That car sounds like it was a test bed, and he said it had dirt under the mats.

All the cars that came into my dealer's lot had much higher VIN's(even the first two) were in the 1200's). That may have been a Ride and Drive car and definitly pre-production.

Mine is in the 1600's and has a few problems, but all MINOR and quick adjustments.

Also, I have not heard of anyone else with engine trouble like this person.

I think this guy got screwed, no one should have a vin in the 200 range (and with 60 miles on it)

Just my 2 cents.

nee4speed: What about the problem with the leather seat imprinting the driver's butt? Have you experienced the same problem?

need4spd_RENAMED

yes, but it is not that bad, and the equivalent of what is seen in a high end leather chair.

If you want soft, buttery leather, that is what you get. I have not seen it on the rear seats though, I guess, not enough use

I forgot to look at lunch, but it certianly does not stand out.

I have the buttprint problem too, but it's what I expect with this type of leather and it's not severe. Will keep you posted on whether it is sufficiently severe to complain about. Mainly just driving the heck out of the car now that the breakin is over!!

Justin warned people about buying pre-production or demo cars..

Are VIN's over 4000 okay?

I also noticed the mark on the driver's seat when I was test-driving it. But it went away after a while, though. I came back the day after and the seat looks all firm again. I guess it's due to the softness of the leather used in the TL.
I saw a Blue-Navi this morning at the dealer. Boy, that blue is nice, much nicer old-TL's blue.

I think Pilot has that "butt print" problem at the first year, then Honda fixed it??. I got the butt print on my MDX now.
