how is the steering for cp?

i din notice until my gal drove the car and told me that my previous civic is easier in steering. cause when she do turning, the steering for my civic will come back to centre when she let go. but for accord, she have to adjust it to the centre.

????
is this good or bad?

good and bad i think...

good is that when you negotiate for a bend in the carpark area (slow) but when we're talking about high speed/long distance which our CPs are (actually) "meant" for, it is not too good. you need the sports feedback from your steering wheel which is important.

send your woman for some obedience training
:P :lol:

Acutally im new to this forum.
Never driven a honda in my life.
But i do feel that the Steering is a bit heavy compared to my old Mit Colt and Toyota.

Also im thinking that the the auto folderable side mirror cannot be activate with the control and there's no power reserve.. once u off hte engine the windows cant be closed.. darn it.

What is CP ?

CP is short for the new Accord model. just like the G7 Accord is known to be CM4/5 and for parallel import, it is known as the CL7A/R.

CP1 = 2.0

CP2 = 2.4

CP3 = 3.5

which CP are you under? do add yourself to the G8 owners' list. :lol: and welcome again. do contribute to the G8 limited threads or open new ones should you think of any good things for us to discuss.

cheers!

side mirror cannot be activated with control meaning??

CP can wind up window within a min after you off your engine (i tried it twice)...i think this feature is not too safe as it involves electrical components etc etc...if it is not managed properly, alot of side effects may occur. eg, battery drain

as for side mirror closing...i think one of the generation for civic can do this as well...hmmm...not too sure. for accords, maybe not?

i don't mind the current CP mirror closing via a button in the driver's arm console...i'm getting used to it...always tell myself to close/fold my "ears" b4 alighting. :lol: a matter of getting used to?

subjective issues.
