I learned something new yesterday about my 2011 S AWD; the Low Tire light will blink when it detects an 'issue' with the Tire Pressure Monitering System, which is different than the message it displays for a detected low tire.

My tires all had sufficient pressure, but the driver side tires were both 6lb lower than the passenger side tires.
So I pumped them all up to 46 PSI and the light went out.......kinda flinty ride now, though

BFD, ay? But I learned something new!

781 days 75,017 miles


Last tank 27.5 MPG. Happy with that.

Nothing to report except it's time again for fresh oil. STILL need to replace the diff and trans fluids. And filters. And plugs (?).
Brakes still bite, stop, without noise/vibration/dust/drama. Exceptional life-span.



Paint, and filth, attached all-too-well.

794 days 76,545 miles

Last tank 26.8, prior tanks ranging from 23.4 (don't ask ) to 28.8 MPG.
REALLY right-foot sensitive

Otherwise I ain't done nuthin'. But I gotta soon. Oil, fliuds, filter at least.



Still driving.......

804 days 77,914 miles


Finally got some service done yesterday; oil, front and rear diffs, and while poking around the tech found mice had attacked my air filter. Got a new one un-chewed
Total for services was $182.68.

Last tank before service returned 27.9 MPG; tank after service was 31.4.
Mobil premium.

Next, trans and cabin filter, maybe plugs. Brakes will announce their needs, but I expect the 'noise' at any time now.

Other than that, still a really really nice car.


Paint, and dirt, still attached.

For anyone in winter climates - do you experience squealing from the breaks after the car has sat in the cold for more than 3 hours? The noise goes away after a few hard breaks.

[WESHOOT2]

No.

But I get a noise, NOT a squeal, from that sit.

I sell new Hondas, and they all squeal after sitting; suggest the iron content (desirable) of the rotors is at play.....

[Firefly]

Yea - I would think that's the oxidation on the rotors... sitting a couple of days after wet weather will do that.

I drove irresponsibly to work this very morning, but I still managed to keep it under 110 MPH.....


.....but not by much

Hi Weshoot2 great post! My Kizashi only has 1/10 of what you've got on the clock. This give me confident that my car will be able to make it through with many miles to go.

Just curious, how many miles (or km) do you usually get out of a full tank. My car, by default, tells me that the cruise range is 470km.

[WESHOOT2]

I normally go between 410--440 miles (660--710km).

Sometimes I drive very fast; sometimes I don't.
