Why not try a transmission specialist...like Chag Auto Supplies. I mean it's better to get an opinion ASAP and save urself more headache and cash down the road.

like the look of the hatch....sportier looking than the sedan. Just get a nice set of 17" to fill out the wheel wells and the car will look great. Seen a couple with aftermarket rims....look really good....no chrome though.

Get it fully loaded and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

doh worry...that is how the transmission is supposed to work. Honda designed the transmission to hold a lower gear so that the engine is kept in or closer to it's power zone. If you had a manual you would downshift to keep the revs up....remember it's a B16A and it thrives in the mid to hi rpm zone
