Loved that car, wish I never sold it. what a go cart.

I currently have 3 BMWs and while non have stranded me on the side of the road, they all are always need something no matter how much I do. It's just comes with owning expensive cars as they get old.
Did they fix the 2nd gear synchro issue by the '91 model year? After proper break in the 1-2 shift would grind if done swiftly on mine, hated that. I've driven dozens of 3 pedal BMW and never beat the synchro while going into 2nd gear.

I ordered my 1.5 5 spd in red with black interior before Honda had even produced the first one for the US, paid sticker for the car and options without a test drive or even seeing it in person. Dealers put $2000 markups on the 1.5 manuals once they realized the massive demand here, the dealer proceeded to deliver cars to those who paid the markup while I had a signed purchase aggreement that predated the markup buyers contracts and I called them on it. I was told my car was ready for delivery and went to the dealer only to be handed the key to a blue on powder blue 1.3 auto CRX, told them that is not my car and was told the salesperson that did my contract made a mistake and I needed to give them another $2000 if I wanted my contract car. A call to Manmouth Honda from my lawyer finally got me the car I signed the contract for, after almost 2 months of later buyers receiving their cars. I will NEVER set foot in another Honda Showroom after the BS they put me through!
