And heel-and-toe downshifting is a delight, thanks to ideal pedal placement and a drive-by-wire throttle system that requires only a slight nudge of the gas pedal to blip the tachometer. I really enjoy the caliber of posts on this forum.

Nobody complained of obscured vision. This engine is wonderfully tuned and loves to rev.
Surely not here in last place. The system also takes voice commands. The competition is well aware of this. Considering that it purrs easily to its 6800-rpm redline, Acura's 3. Maybe we're just jaded by what used to pass for perfection. The e90s are rare by comparison. I purchased mine used in 2007 with 24,000 miles and currently have almost 90,000 on it.
All of which is integrated into a cockpit that is bigger than its predecessor's 97. It's quiet, it's docile in town, it has Lexus perfectionism oozing from every pore in its heated and air-cooled perforated leather seats. Rear-drive cars are the best-balanced, best-handling vehicles. That seems to be the consensus on the Acura Forums and the Car and Driver Forums. Several drivers declared that the caramel-colored chairs felt high off the floor, more like sitting on the car than in it. The interstate ride from the four-corner independent suspension was deemed among the best, with more impact noise than actual shiver coming through the body.
Given the mechanics at the dealership said they see many of these with over 200,000 miles, I plan to be driving it for many years to come. Gonna be hard to beat the rear-drive Bimmers and G35s. Only have owned car for about two months, no big problems other than the stereo buttons have a mind of their own. That seems to be the consensus on the Acura Forums and the Car and Driver Forums. A call to the Potenza bullpen is in order. But, when I test drove my 330, I knew this was the one for me.
Another big change was the adoption of the 6-speed manual transmission. I look forward to getting behind the wheel every day and I would recommend this car to anyone who enjoys driving. Now just pull it out of the engine and fender void and you've got it, saving about a hundred and fifty dollars of labor. Maybe it was just a coincidence. A small price to pay for that piece of mind.
There are numerous Acura cars, and each make and model is different. I realize that the Acura Forums are biased. Discreet business-like chrome exhaust tips are tucked under the rear fascia at each edge and give the car attitude. We've ranted before on the comical confusion of textures and colors in the G35's cockpit. The car came loaded premium sound system, bluetooth, navigation and voice activation. On the plus side, as long as you're conscious of this trait, accelerating out of turns is surprisingly fast, although a bit nerve-racking. For the latest Acura zero to 60 and quarter mile stats, we have taken the time to gather the most accurate level of information possible.
This humpy-lumpy power delivery hustled the front-drive Saab to 60 mph in a midpack 6. It's a lovely car, but not the ultimate driving machine. This car handles and drives like a dream. The six-speed manual gearbox is notably sweet, smooth and quick. The brakes scrub off triple-digit speeds without drama and the pedals are set up well for effortless heel-and-toe braking and downshifting. The interior is seamless and flows very well.
In small ways, such as a slightly shinier gloss to the slightly less squishy plastics, the new A4 actually feels slightly less fabulous inside than did the old model. Launch at a lazy 3500 rpm, and it'll do 5. Heck, my dad, who currently owns a 98 735iL or is it a 740? And i alwayz leave him hanging Off the line and from a roll. On the plus side, as long as you're conscious of this trait, accelerating out of turns is surprisingly fast, although a bit nerve-racking. The touch screen nav and the ability to store your own address book is a plus though you have to manually add everything. If your car is 6 - 7 years old with 65000 miles or more, it might be wise to go ahead and replace the timing belt before it goes out.
