Weights for these cars are all over the place it seems like. I know several people have weighed their cars and come up with at least +100 lbs. over yours. If you look at the curb weights on kbb.com for instance 3450+ is the most common figure. Only the 07 shows up as less than 3400.

Could be all sorts of reasons for these variations including scales being off.

I assume the scale was off. I had a full tank of gas, full interior, even had the spare in there. I always take note of car weight because I'm a native Honda guy and weight REALLY matters when you're throwing down less than 130trq to the wheels.

As for my weight, my 20's add about 40-50lbs and I've got roughly 120-130lbs of stereo equipment. Also had a half tank of gas.
