I went and test-drove a Civic and an Accord the night before last. I did like both of them almost equally well, but the Civic had no ABS (Accord did--although that was these particular cars, neither of which I will be buying), and also the engine was quite noisy. That might get annoying on long car rides home for breaks. I was impressed by how roomy it felt, though, and also that aside from the noise, the engines had very little difference in performance. (I mean, on neither of them are you going to hit 75 and not know you're hitting it, like you can with the six-cylinder I drive now, but I definitely didn't think they were "little putt-putt cars," to use Dad's term.)
I'm trying out some Toyotas tonight...I hope they're similar, because they're somewhat cheaper!
Yes, I thought of you while I was getting gas, which...may or may not be rather sad ;)

Heh. I'll choose to consider it sweet.
