It's a miracle, I drove the S today
Looks like a full day with no rain
Ditto. Had a reminder on the way in that the tires don't like to grip when it is cold out. Pulled a bit of an unintentional drift around the traffic circle
My issue was tires too
I can't find my trusty tire pressure gauge, I have to look for it tonight
The one I used is off, my tires are a bit down on pressure
The R-S3's felt like they had been flat spotted for the 1st 2 miles
The vibration was so bad I almost pulled over
But then the f'ing redline warning beeper went off and into a constant scream at 3,000 rpm's and I forgot all about the tires

No surprise to me with the price of gas going up! I see TONS of them everywhere I go lately

I wanted to take a CR-Z for a test drive when I had the car into the dealer over the weekend, but all that had in stock was an auto, so I passed.

I'm just starting to see them
In total, I still don't think I have seen more than a half dozen
But, I will say this, damn they look good

I don't get the CR-Z craze over here. Maybe i'm just too young to understand it, but i think those things are hideous. Top Gear review didn't really change my mind either

I just don't understand the hybrid craze in general.

Im sure it is that. Haven't filled up gas in the Si for a couple weeks now and the price only looks to have gone higher.

It looks very cool. All it needs is some real power under the hood

The Top Gear (USA) review was a joke. Do yourself a favor and read Doug's analysis.

If you never liked the CRX, then you may not like this. It is a modern interpretation of the CRX theme. The platform has a lot of potential and you'd be surprised how well it handles considering it comes with POS tires on it. For spirited driving on tight roads, the car is fun. Would also be fun on an AutoX section.

The looks dont appeal to everyone and thats ok. The car has potential and I'd drive it if they made one in the flavor I wanted
