My DD:

some won't like it, but when I drive this thing, I'm constantly trying to get the best mpg I can, and so far my personal best is 48 mpg.

Now that the Fiesta arrived on US shores, Im actually torn between the Fit Sport and the new Fiesta hatchback as my next dd. The Fit was looking to be my next dd replacement. But right now, the DRLs on the Fit are pretty much the deal breakers for me, as the Fiesta trumps it with the dual clutch 6-speed AT. I know that doesnt make sense but something about the headlights being the DRL just doesnt appeal to me.

i drive an 06 tsx and i love the thing, i sometimes wish it was turboed and RWD but honestly the driving "feel" of the car is close to perfect,. steering is responsive, shifter is awesome, the chasis is great too. The engine output is great for a FWD car since theres no torque steer and you can floor it and row through the gears without getting into super illegal speeds. driving around the car within 90% of its limits and you can't tell its FWD, it only understeers when you really push it, the wishing for a turbo and RWD i guess is more for braging/prestige i guess.....

Sometimes i think about trading it in, i have no real complaints, i guess i'm just looking for something new. So far only the new TL SHAWD 6 speed piques my interest, but if i were to do that i'd def need to get an aftermarket front bumper/grille, i was also super close to trading it in for a 2003-ish M3 but the maintainence cost scared me away.

overall, wouldn't hestitate to recommend this car to someone else or to get another honda/acura, damn ricers give the whole crowd a bad image, but i'm glad that fad has been fading, aleast around me

Id have traded in my car for the new TL had the face not have that schnoz. it looks like a big bucktooth. Ive driven it a few times as a loaner when i had my car in for service. pretty good. the new TSX is quite good too

I just got my daily driver fixed and I've put 500 miles on it, I'm loving it pretty good.
Its a '95 Accord, 2.2L SOHC 16-valve engine.
I got the car with 200K miles exactly, had a bad headgasket, and now its got new:
-different F22 rebuilt cylinder head
-piston rings
-rod bearings
-water pump, timing belt, balance shaft belt, etc
With all that and more the engine runs seemingly great, ready to last another 200K miles! Its a solid well driving car, better than most 200K cars for sure, go Honda.
