Even though I now live in eastern PA, I learned to drive on the I-495 Capitol Beltway around MD, VA & DC, and it's reflected in my driving :D

The "Aggressive Driving" warning signs you see around the Beltway are because of guys like me :twisted:

....that's why I have the 5spd xA.

 

tell me about the slowness, mine did 11.8 sec in teh 1/8th at the track. BTW, LeeD are you automatic or standard as I didn't catch if you state it?

 

I took it in, it turns out there's nothing wrong with my car. WTF? But I did notice it goes faster now.

 

Maybe it's just you adjusting to the car. . . I have the 5spd, and it's not that bad, but whenever I hop into one of our other cars (we still got an IS300 around, as well as a few other toys which are in the fam) I feal like it's a rocket. Getting back into my xA. . . is disappointing. . . for only an hour or so. Then you adjust and it's all gravy. But then again, my family likes fast cars, and they aren't exactly average ones at that. . . but the xA is plenty fast for me, and it can easily overtake (with a 5spd) most SUV's and econocars, which flood the streets of CA.

 

auto.

 

Thanks LeeD.
