New Daily Driver....

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

I got myself a 2007 Honda Civic Ex as my new daily driver. Sold the 15mpg blazer to my dad and now I have a 40 mpg whip. Elvira (the TA) doesnt like bad weather so this will let her stay in the garage. It's also just in time for my trip down to SC this weekend

Either you're backwards or I'm backwards! I got my 2000 SS to be my modern daily driver/beater. It's the newest car I've ever owned! It has cup holders! But if you have any kind of serious drive to work, a V8 rwd car can be tough in the snow/ice.

Don't tell UBG :shhh:

that 40 mpg city? Im looking at a $695 corrolla and it gets 27 city i thought that was good!

I've already been told. Yep, that's a Honduh. Couldn't find anything American to fit the bill? At least the Japanese gov't might send ya a Christmas card...

Thats ok....in a few years when ur American DD is broke down with its common issues....my Jap DD will still be running stong like the day I got it .

Wayfast: It gets 32 city and 40 highway. I do a lot of highway driving so it works out for me. I dont want to rack up un-necessary miles on my baby. $695 for a corrolla...i'd go for it..they have a pretty good rep of running forever too....

Bob, look at the bright side, at least it is built in the USA.

Just don't let my brother near it! He's killed 2 Honduhs already and he's working on his 3rd one now. Nothing wrong with a daily driver that gets good gas mileage. Just don't fall for that 100K tuneup bs. Keep up with the basic maintenance and you should have no problems. Keep an eye on every mile and every gas fillup and you'll be able to see when something starts to go awry. And turn the music down once in a while and listen to the car. It's amazing how many people don't hear things going bad on their car because they crank tunes all the time.

I don't give a crap if they are being built in my back yard, the profits still go back to Japan, and helps our automotive industry go further down the toliet.

Why do you even bother with F-bodies if you are so high on Honduhs? Typical hypocrite. And I'll tell you what, I'll put my CHEVY daily driver up against yer POS Honduh any day of the week. Wanna put some $ where yer mouth about longevity?

easy, bob. these kids have no idea what they're talking about, they just listen to their parents talk about the '80s and watch too many commercials on TV. if they truly knew what was up, they'd all be driving american cars.

a little known fact about car plants, for those that buy into that "built in america" crap: an american plant had to shut down for the japs to move in, and they hired back, on average, only half the workforce that was once there. keep believing the hype, if you wanna. in the end, the money goes overseas. it doesn't stay here and bolster our economy.

btw, i heard on the news that for the first time in history, the japanese car makers have more than 50% of the american car market. keep buying those cars and pretty soon there won't be an american car maker left.

I am sorry....I missed it in the F-body rule book on where your not aloud to have a honda as a daily driver. Honda puts out a good reliable car and thats what I need to get me around from day to day. I dont race it or plan to put a fart-can or any of that junk on it. As shown in the picture is how it is going to stay. I love a nice looking car as well as one with a great sond...and most of all speed...thats why I have my f-body. Call me in 20 years and we'll see where your DD chevy is. I had an 01 Silverado..purchased NEW. After about 50k it started with a piston slap....Chevy said thats NORMAL!!! The thing started to sound like a diesel truck after awhile. Say what you want...I still get 40mpg.

Not looking for arguements...Just wanted to post up my new DD.....if you have any issues with it...then dont post in this thread.

Like I'm sure your Honduh will be putting out flowery exhaust smells in 20 years, too. And for the record, I'm getting 38 MPG with my foot to the floor all the time. Justify all you want, yer still wrong.

What chevy gets 38mpg?

[12secondv6]

OMG..... its her car..... let her be happy with it.

And.... I agree.... I expect the non american car to last longer than the american.

1_Hot_SOM_WS6 = best of luck w/ it and congrats!

[WayFast84]

i think he has a cavalier. the best on the highway my mom got in her fully loaded cobalt ss was 36 on the parkway with cruise on.

[Mike]

[nj85z28]

ford puts out a good, reliable car, called the focus. it's in the same class as your honduh and would've saved you money in the long run.

chevy puts out a good, reliable car, called the cobalt. it's in the same class as your honduh and would've saved you money in the long run.

chrysler puts out a good, reliable car, under its dodge brand, called the caliber. it's in the same class as your honduh and would've saved you money in the long run.

sorry you've had a bad experience with chevy, but as with any make of car, sometimes there are issues. that is not to say that the whole line of cars, or even the same model, has the same issues as what you experienced. as they say, s h i t happens. it can even happen with your honduh, as i posted up about a few weeks ago.

i would've liked you to have gone with an american maker. i wish everyone would go with an american maker, but this is america and there is freedom of choice. sorry that i can't be less vocal about my opinion, but you opened the door by posting in the first place. what a boring place this would be if everyone agreed.

How about everyone calms down and expresses their opinion in a nice civil manner......

or at least it's playing the jap game on their home turf. it's only a shame that we can't sell as many of our cars to their people as they sell here.
