How quickly I forgot...

Man, we are a lucky group of individuals. From this point forward I PROMISE NEVER AGAIN to nit pick on the G. No more complaining about squeeking, window motor problems or any of the other "small" and "petty" BS that I constantly read about on this and other forums.

If you want to know how LUCKY you are to own such a nice vehicle just rent a POS 2003 Ford Escape (stripped down version) for a few days/weeks. This thing is absolutely awful!!! From the lack of acceleration, to the tipsy feel of the house on wheels it is just a poor excuse for a vehicle. It has this "cool" feature that whenever you turn off the vehicle, water from the A/C condenses and drips onto the exhaust. It sounds like the car is going to explode for 5 minutes after you shut it off. The road noise is unacceptable, the gear selector is in the way of the radio controls, you have to slam the door just to close it, and the gas mileage STINKS (and I've only driven the vehicle for ~100 miles in 2 days), there's no auto up feature on the windows, the review mirrors are almost impossible to get into the correct position, the seats would be more comfortable if they had used aluminum folding chairs and the headlights are completely worthless. Every time I change lanes I feel like I'm going to tip over... The radio controls look like they came out of an early 1980's vehicle and then there's the awful styling... Aaaahhhhh!!! The thing I'm most embarrased about is that the windows are not tinted and people keep looking at me in it. (j/k)

Never again will I say a cross word about our AWESOME vehicle. If anyone thinks that there is an ounce of untruth to what I've posted I'll gladly trade cars with you for just ONE DAY so that you can learn to appreciate how fortunate you really are to own such a fine automobile. I'm starting the list now, just sign up below and make sure to include which day between today and December 21st you'd like to switch vehicles...

Thanks for reading and please, never again take your G for granted!

Bro, you are not kidding!!! I recently went from a 1998 Jeep wrangler to my G coupe. Talk about night and day, lol. I originally bought the jeep for my wife, but she wanted to drive the rx300 instead, lol. AND...... she made me sell the '94 rx-7 at the same time. Anyway..... back being in love with my ride....... . I think she's jealous too, lol.

2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse so not as bad as some of you guys, but seriously they call that thing a sports coupe...It felt like a floaty boat compared to my G...I had it modified to whatever extent I could outside of FI and I love my stock G about 100 times more...God what a beautiful car...

I have a G35c and a 96 Accord. When I go from the Honda to the G, I think the G is too harsh, but after an hour I am loving it. Then when I switch back, I think the Honda is soft and tipsy and slow....so my honda gas mileage has gone down since I think I give it more throttle now.
