Anyone drive a Honda?

Original post by merf99

I drive a Honda Civic now which I love but have the chance to get a new one. I can get either the same Civic or upgrade to an Accord. I'm just worried that the Accord is much bigger and it won't be as easy for me to drive. I'm only 5'3' so I liked driving a smaller car. But everyone thinks an Accord will be better in the long run (safer, better for kids, etc). Anyone have any opinions on driving one? Are they that big?

Thanks!!

Let me Start off buy saying I LOVE MY CIVIC Was even going to buy a new one but didnt cause my car is a 94 and only has 70,000 miles on it. When I got it in 99 it only had 35,000 miles on it. If it aint broke dont fix I dont have the money to buy a new one. My Best friend Wanted a VW beetle SO BAD. She finally bought on a 2000. She had SO MANY problems with it. She just bought a 2003 Golf and her sister got a 2003 GTI and they both are in LOVE with their cars. My supervisor got a new beetle and had so many problems with it. she had the car for 14 days 12 of wich the car was in the shop for.

But Honda has problems too. My moms 2000 Accord 2 door EX We all talked mom into getting the accord cause hondas are great blah blah blah she got the car and they couldnt keep it running she drive go to the store comeout and shed pull out of the parking spot and the car would stall. This happened A LOT.One time my dad had to goto a hearing for workers comp and she pulled out into traffic and the car died infront of the court house. She would take it to Honda they had no idea what was wrong with it. Then While it sat at honda They Refused to give her a rental car. she fought with them and they gave in YEAH they gave her a GEO metro. They 'fixed' the problem it happened again. Back to the shop it went for another 2 weeks were she got another rental car. Finally they were able to fix the problem it Happened to my moms car and to two other accords in the states. She wrote to Honda and they paid a month of her lease otherwise she was gonna get a lawyer and fight them for a lemon. That car turned my mom off and she will never drive another Honda again such a shame. Although I have no Problems driving her brand new Benz Which she has not had one problem with.

Moral is Any car you buy unfortantly it can be a lemon.

They made the Mazda speed after the MP3. I LOVE DRIVING THAT CAR. Maybe only cause its a stick hehe. Im a geek. FH laughs and loves seeing people who drive MP3 cause they didnt make them with Moon Roofs and he got one put in. He was like how could I buy a new car and not have a moon roof..... When he sees other Mp3's he say Ya but I have a moon roof haha.



LOL
Jim did the same thing to his older car.

I have no moon roof but the funny thing is my car comes with a moon roof, I have a stock base model so it has not 'extra features'. So instead I say 'Yah, but I got the warm cockpit airplane feeling going here.'
Jim loves the Mazdaspeed as well. As a matter of fact Im buying some Mazdaspeed engine mounts for my MX soon. My car will be a project car after we get the new one. For now it's a workhorse. Not pretty to look at but really fun to drive.

The new Mazda3 comes in auto stick and stick. Since Jim would use it mostly to and from work, we are getting auto stick. Besides it's four doors that aint sports car (j/k)

Now.. don't get me started on the 3rd Gen Rx7's... DROOL.



Jim and Mike should hang out. Well that might be a bad idea they would probably spend to much money LOL!!!!! I LOVE THE NEW MAZDA 6. Mike Loves the new Mazda 8.


LOL about the car being a 4 door not a sports car. Mike says after driving a 4 door and seing how easy it is. He never wants to drive a 2 door again. I love My civic 2 door. He loved his Civic SI 2 door. Maybe he loved it so much cause it was his first NEW car He went from An 82 Trans AM to a 87 CRX to the 2000 Civic and he put so much into that car from a body Kit to a system with a TV (which is in my car ) But that civic was so good to him in his accident. When I saw the pics of the accident I couldnt believe he walked out of that car ALIVE and with no scratches at all.
