Since you asked about Hondas...I recently gave up my 1982 Prelude for a brandy
new 2004 Honda Civic EX sedan with all the bells and whistles. While I was
certainly upset at having to give up my "first car", I am totally thrilled with
my new vehicle.
I've had it for almost 2 months, and so far no problems. Go drive a few models
and see for yourself if you like them!!
