Not only was the car boring inside and out, but my initial impression of the typical Acura quality was NOWHERE near what their reputation suggests. There was a very noticable shimmy in the front end (presumably a wheel needed balancing), and there was a whistle in the window of the driver's side door by the A pillar. The car had practically instant throttle response and handled nicely, but had zero personality. It was almost... I don't know... synthetic is the word that comes to mind. This was a brand-new 2001 type S with less than a hundred test miles on the odometer. Say what you will about Saab quality, but the Acura did not impress.
I WAS impressed with an earlier test drive of a 330Ci auto coupe. Bullet-proof as it felt and looked, it's hard to justify dropping that much coin for a car that isn't nearly as utilitarian as my Saab. From what I see on the Beemer board, their quality ain't what it's cracked up to be either.
