This is a wonderful car BUT Honda knows of the transmission problems, very common, TYPE S 2nd or 3rd gear grinds/is notchy. It was "fixed" at 8k miles under warranty by replacing the synchros, but is still difficult. Also burns about a quart of oil every 1000 miles. I still have original brakes at 73,000 miles. Awesome car but Honda should fix the problem.
