Good luck with your new car, I really hope you enjoy it. Just keep an eye on that alignment, and make sure it doesn't get worse. The steering wheel may feel better to you once you are used to the car. I always have an "adjustment" period with a new vehicle .
Congrats! My alignment is slightly off too (little pull to right but I dont notice it much since my explorer does the same). If you read the manual, it does say that for the first 600 miles you should avoid excessive high rpm gear shifts(pedal mashing) and hard stops. The good news for me is that I picked up the car last Saturday and turned 600 on the way home from work today! Its a shame because I have got 300 miles and more than a third tank of gas left this fill up. I dont think its going to last long now that the break in is over!

Nope, I rather do it myself, I am untrusting when it comes to my cars and most people don't know how to check tires properly. They have to be totally cold and not in the sun.
Once I corrected the pressures the car pulled much less to the right, just a tad noticeable but nothing to get me worried.
The alignment mike be correct, it might be that I am used to driving a subaru impreza but will keep an eye on it and see in a few weeks how it goes.
They def are great cars and at night, the interiors are just very cool!
any fwd car will pull ever so slightly to one side durring acceleration... your '06 hondas have the trans mounted on the passenger side i believe, so it would pull to the other side... it's because of axle lengths... also, subaru imprezas are so so so much different than any other car... i love mine ubt i'm not saying it's the best... it's a personal preference thing. but you definately feel a big difference when you go to the best awd system on the road.. even when i was driving an evo VIII it wa a lot different than my subaru.

This is not only during acceleration but also cruising on flat roads that have no banking. I believe someone else here mentioned a slight pull to the right. No biggie like I mentoined earler, at least not for now.
I miss my impreza, I hope it finds a good home
DAROGA: I forgot to take pics today but will do it tomorrow, was driving all day
Congratulations on your new car, but I think if I was you, I would take the car and show the dealership the alignment problem. Did yo buy the car new? If you did, then there should be no problem with the alignment.
Watch out for alignment problems. They can get worse. I had a problem with my Honda when i was going hi speed on the freeway. Some idiot swerved into my lane and i had to brake while turning away, the bite into my brakes when the steering was out of alignment turned out to be permanent.
It ended up not only getting worse but getting my tires bald on opposites ends becauise of the wear and tear on the rubber.
Have it looked at under warranty. if it gets real bad when the warranty wears down they will stall you until you have to pay for the whole *damN* thing yourself.

Alignment has been corrected last week by dealer. Much improved
