I flew out to KS from MN last week to take delivery of my new 2012 TSX SE, 6spd in Bellanova White Pearl and then drove her back the 455 miles to MN.
I must say this has been the best new car experience I've had and the dealer was awesome! Car was unmolested and 100% defect free when I arrived and was sitting inside for me to inspect. No detailing had been done other than a touch-less wash and tire glossing.

On the drive back, in the middle of BFE Iowa, I noticed I still had over a half tank of gas at the 300 mile mark (car had 12 miles on it when I left) with plenty of gas left to make it the whole way! 34mpg is what I ended up getting averaging 75mph! Not bad at all! :props:

Car was covered in bugs when I got home so she got a bath the next morning and I started prepping it for Opti-Guard
