Damn how do you all have such low mileage! My 06 3is has about 155k on it and she still runs like a champ,NO major problems ever. I may not beat on it everyday but since my man had a 2010 EvoX MR, we line them up pretty often.

09 350 with close to 61k here..my idle decreases to 500 whenever the fans turn on and I feel a some vibration as well. once the fans turn off, idle returns to about 600/650 and runs perfect. youre still under factory warranty so if anything goes wrong motor/transmission wise you are covered. don't be afraid to beat on it. its not a concourse car.. enjoy it!

I run RP HPS motor oil, runs much smoother than with Toyota oil. Buttery smooth. You can use RP as well, but since youre under factory warranty, you can run the API certified RP.

and on another note, I work at an acura dealership and none of the Honda engines run as silky smooth/refined (as low idle as Lexus).

I like that my S2000 is not silky smooth. I bought it for the raw feeling and handling.
