Nice review, guys! I haven't reached 1,000 yet, but I'd like to add an impression. We've all seen the positives in this thread, so I'll offer a negative:

- AT gear selection: I wish I had more control of selecting between 4th and 5th gears. The auto tranny likes 5th gear at higher speeds for fuel economy, of course. Sometimes I'd like it to stay in 4th gear so I can have that extra power ready to go rather than waiting for a downshift from 5th. A sport shifter like the ones available in the CSX and the Euro Civic would have been nice.
