from what I heard, the stereo is awesome! I drove a 4 cylinder EX coupe... with the auto... that was actually very nice... I'd say it'd beat my 5th gen.
Honda recomends a 600 mile break-in period... my brother went to 1000 miles on his SI before taking it hard.
Car and Driver said the brakes are not the greatest... on the car I drove they seemed ok, but could use some improvement...
The only complaint I have is that the stereo and climate controls are a tad hard to use, but i'd get used to it if I owned the car.
I would have driven a V6, or at least a manual... but all the dealer had was the 4's with the auto.
I was still impressed though. I LOVE the interior!!!
