My sport says 32 at the door, which I think is too low. Yet one more reason for me to leave Honda behind - they can't even get *this* right???

Bob - perhaps they changed it after a certain build date...who knows, but mine rides great on 38 psi

Can't go along w/ you on the "leave Honda behind" - I LOVE THIS CAR! fun to drive and 36mpg average during my commute -i can forgive a typo on the door handle label!

You guys could just buy a bike pump. I have the crappy foot pump from walmart. It was 6 bucks. A decent bike pump (the long tube with a pressure gauge built in) is about 20 bucks at pep boys.

Sorry, I'm just burned out on this thing. Paint problems, gas mileage problems, no support from either the manufacturer or the dealer, incorrect information supplied with the car...in all the years I've been driving and all the cars I've owned I've *never* come across anything like this before. Like I stated in another post I'll give it until the end of the month and if things aren't better I'm getting rid of it, pronto.

My sports automatic says 32psi for USA which seems to be the consensus. That is weird that yours say 35psi. The base and sports do have different tires, but i dont know what the reccomended is for the base models. We both have sports model yet different.
