Purchased a new P500 last Friday. I took it home and drove it around on the street for a while (about 10 miles) and it seemed to be shifting a little rough. It also took a couple cranks for it to start. I didn't think anything was really wrong but I wanted to make sure so I took it back to the dealer. The tech drove it around and agreed that it didn't seem to be as smooth as it should be so he asked that I leave it. They checked it out and said there was a code for the angle sensor. I thought that would have set a check engine light, but it didn't. Anyways, they replace it and it now starts right up and shifts perfect. Just thought I would share incase anyone else has the same issues.

Good to know. Picked mine up in December, and at times it starts and dies when first attempting to start cold. Are these equipped with an OB2 connector?

No, but I believe it has a connector for a proprietary Honda scanner.
