Real nice, gets around 500 miles to the tank. Since I bought it, it has some really nasty steering habits. It pulls to the right or to the left, depending on which direction you turn the wheel. Oh ya? If I steer right, the car goes right? (chuckle) Really... If you are going 40 on a straight road and let go of the wheel, you stay straight. If you nudge it right just a hair, it will begin steering right, but then stay pulling to the right - without somewhat going straight again. Same with left, nudge it a hair to the left, and it goes left - and stays left. On the freeway, sometimes I "wobble" left and right trying to find the middle ground between left and right. If there is a little bit of wind, I will end up correcting and sometimes overcorrecting to get my steering straight again. If you hit a small bump at 65mph, it can "bounce" you enough that you have to correct your steering again. In fact, I hit a good bump at 70mph and when it pulled hard to the right, I over-corrected and ended up halfway into the next lane. Scared the hell out of me. Wind is a real big problem, in that this car weights what, 2500lbs? You get a little wind and you are blown all over the road - and with the steering as it is, it can make driving 40 miles to and from work one hell of a ride. I've been told many things... "Oh that's Honda for you." And what not. The dealership put it up on the racks and said the alignment was fine. The tires are inflated at 30 front, 29 rear (as per door panel). The tire manufacturer - Firestone, put it up on their racks and said it's all fine. The dealer said they could loosten the rack&pinion, but I am afraid to do that for long term affects. It's NOT fine! It's driving me crazy and I almost feel like trading the car in for something different. I owned a '98 Honda DX hatchback and it did NOT behave this way under the steering. Anyone else have this problem or am I just crazy? Is it the tires? Rims? Suspension? Rack&Pinion? Driver?
