Acceleration is affected. Less rubber = less room for the rubber to spin = faster response = snappier accel


it also helps efficiency.  bigger circumference= further difference traveled per rotation = more mpg

bmw's are nice to, i still think he did good though.  try comparing insurance rates from his car to a bmw or an escalade. or even a civic.  i know when i got my civic the insurance went up a bit just because of the car.  and new jersey insurance isnt cheap.  so i know this had to have been a factor in his decision.

Insurance is why I'm looking for like a 2000 Tahoe 2x4. That and a Jeep Wrangler have cheap insurance.

Nice car man. There will always be people that think your an idiot for spending that on an Acura. But Acura's are nice reliable and I'm sure your insurance is going to be pretty low because you are in an all around safe car. 
Tuesday starts the weekend... YAYAYA!!!!

Tae Kwon Do, I couldnt agree with you more on the luxery vehicles and how nice Cadilac is.

Just occured to me that you could get an '04 BMW 325Ci for around $18,000.
Or an '00 745iL for around. $16,000. I would gladly take either over that Acura. Not to cut down your Acura but I love BMW.


Within the entire United States, there are only four 04+ BMW 325ci's for 18k/less, and 1 was in an accident (On Autotrader). The other 3 are out of warranty.
And the 745's are beautiful, great cars but their reliability is complete craaaaaaap. I would never ever buy one, unless I had bundles of money for repairs. I love BMW's, but their reliability is starting to bother me. Our m3 was bought back by BMW under California's Lemon Law, and our 645 had its engine replaced at 30,000 miles. Hopefully, our Z4 fairs better.


And although I personally wouldn't choose the Acura, it is a nice car and I see why you chose it. BTW, 04/05 Rx8s with leather, sunroofs, and Bose sound systems are available for around 20k. But that's a sports car, quite different than the Acura.

VW's I feel the same way, oh they're reliable, until something goes wrong. Then EVERYTHING starts going wrong.
