- The only problem that i've had with my car was the idle problem, which
- was fixed when the computer was replaced. Sure, its not the smoothest
- riding, quietest, free of squeaks and dash rattle car on the road, but
- it's fun to drive, gets great gas milage, is very dependable, doesn't
- look like every other car on the road, handles well, has the most trunk
- space in its car class (the Jetta), its easy to work on, has an enormous
- amount of aftermarket parts available... i could go on and on.
-
- We all have to make up our own minds. If i had spent several thousand
- more for an Integra, or equivalent i'am sure that i would not have been
- nearly as happy, particularly since i drove the Integra. YUK!!!!!!
-
- I second that "emotion". I still wouldn't drive anything else! Ok, Ok,
- If i could afford a 911 Turbo. :)
-
-
- BTW, since i did mention a Honda product, i must warn everyone: IF I SEE
- ONE MORE, JUST ONE MORE TEAL GREEN ACCORD EX, I GONNA BECOME A MASS
- MURDERER!!!
