I love my car. I think it's very underestimated. I found it to be very quick i actually wound it out for the first time tonight 6k in first gear and 2nd up to about 45-50, and i think this car feels faster than the 5th gen preludes. The handling seems good but i have sucky h rated tires so the squeal and slip a lot. But to the real question whoever has the cd player in their s14's do they play cd's well? i can only play a few burned cd's and i don't think any all the way through. Even my non-burned cd's sometimes have trouble playing. Do i need to get it cleaned out or something or is that just the way it is? Also my keyless entry is tempermental even with a new battery. any idea how much a new one costs?

my best friend had a 5th gen prelude type sh w/ a 5speed. on the take off, our cars would own. in the higher rpm range, that prelude felt faster IMO. but yea, the 240 is a very quick car. don't feel like it takes 8 seconds (depending on driver) to get to 60mph

Yeah i drive the prelude on a regular basis and once you get going it is faster but not where you feel it the most, the intial torque in the 240 is great.

heck yea man. i can't stand FWD with no torque. its so annoying cause you think the car is broken or sumthin cause you push the gas down, and you barely go anywhere. his prelude was definately fast in the top end. i guess thats why we went into a big tree sidewayz....

My cd player in my car never worked, so I'm guessing there is some type of problem with them. IMO it's not worth the time to figure out, just go out and buy and aftermarket radio. The sound wil be soo much better. You can get a decent head unit for cheap

errr alright thanks, i'm poor, i need other things more than a radio, h rated tires need to be replaced, but they make me feel fast cause i can spin them a lot.
