Once inside, the car feels great. My usual criticisms of Honda‘s fab ric choice applies to the SRâ€"V as well as my usual praise for the quality of the materials used and the fit and finish of the entire car. The dashboard is unique but too long on the gimmicks and too short on function. It‘s quite a departure for Honda, which can usually be counted on to provideâ€"more ergonomic simplicity in their conâ€" trols and gauges. The front seats are very firm and provide excellent support. The rear seating area is very cramped but not out of the ordinary for a 2+2 GT style coupe. e As well as being aâ€"sports car, the SRâ€"V does a good job in satisfying our needs for luxury, convenience and safety. Dual ni'rbalgl, an upgraded audio system, leather wrapped steering wheel, power mirrors and heated front bucket seats are all standard on the SRâ€"V.

The Oldsmobile Aurora is powered by an exclusive 250â€"horsepower, multiâ€"valve 4.0â€"litre V8 engine that works in harmony with the Hydraâ€"matic 4T80â€"E fourâ€"speed, electronically controlled autoâ€" and competitive fuel efficiency.

The VTEC actually changes the profile of the cam about half way through ral podischiink vendnbnpst to a kicking in as the valves open up further. The SRâ€"V thus gets very good economy under normal driving cireumâ€" stances and delivers an exhilaratâ€" ing amount of power at the top end. VTEC engines are actually designed to be driven at higher rpms which can unnerve you at first. But once you realize the engine‘s capabilities, I would defy you to avoid the trappings of Bob Rae‘s new photo radar. The SRâ€"V just plain feels and sounds like a I just loved driving this car and if it were not for the layout of the dash, I would have been very tempted to put one in my driveâ€" way. Don‘t let my comments about the dash steer you away though. the SRâ€"V makes it well worth every penny of the hefty sticker price.
