It was very unnerving under hard acceleration and if I released the wheel it pulled to the right. The car was only 4 weeks old when I decided enough was enough and I'd goto ABP Motorsport and let some professionals sort it out. I'd read so many stories on here about people getting no joy with Honda so I thought I'd save myself the hassle and go elsewhere.

It is an unbelievable difference. It's given me a lot of confidence in the car.

Been back to the dealer twice and in the end told I was an inexperienced driver (30 owned MR2 and GTV) and the pulling was a characteristic of the car!!!!!!

Just waiting for a good time to go to ABP now cos I reckon thats bollox!!!!

Warm her up then make her scream!!!!

Two different problems with mine:

1. Several return visits to have a creaking/knocking noise looked at which developed about 3 months from new resulted in no joy. Dealer said they never found anything wrong

After 11 months the noises magically disappeared and have not returned. I'm going let sleeping dogs lie on that one.

2. I had a 4-wheel alignment done (by the dealer) after kerbing a wheel and knocking the steering out. Two new front tyres fitted at the same time. Some of both the front AND rear settings were way out but were adjusted to within the manufacturers tolerances without the need for any replacement parts. All was fine and the car drove straight again but two weeks later it starts pulling to the right and has been getting worse for 2 months now.

Just waiting until I have time to book it in AGAIN.

Type it, read it, delete the bollox. Simple.
