edit- i have an 09 with navi and vsa
last week. driving on the 101 north bound. 4 lanes. (left lane is the fast lane=lane 1. right most lane is lane 4). i'm in lane 2 and there is a big rig in lane 3.
speed 70 mph, weather sunny and 65.
about a 1/4 of a mile ahead of me is a 2 seat love sofa in between lane 2 and 3. i speed up and look to my left, all clear, i zoom up, signal left and cruise right by the sofa. scary. i looked back and i think a car brushed up the sofa.
no sense of worry or nervousness.
that's the epitome of highway handling.
i called 911 after that. i'm sure someone plowed the sofa.

Good one!
Actually I just took the car on the freeway tonight going out to eat. It is a bit windy tonight with 30 mph wind gust. I did notice the car being a little shaky when I hit a side wind gust but nothing that freaked me out cruising at about 70-80 mph. You just gotta hold the wheel tight.
I am planning on lowering my car about an 1.5" so hopefully that helps a bit.
Plus I hate all the wheel/fender gap.
I've notice all my past honda's lowering them about 1.5"-2" helps dramatically at higher speeds / side wind gust.
Integra - lowered 2"
CL-S lowered 1.5"
both felt like they were glued to the ground even on windy days.
