No idea. I know our 96 Honda seems to be made a lot better than my truck does. I will say that. I however can't say that for our 06. It seems to be just mostly cheap plastic bumpers and all. We have a 94 Chevy Caprice Classic V8, 96 Honda Accord EX(The ricer), 2001 Ram, 2004 R1, and a 06 Honda Accord V6 6speed. Out of those the R1 gets the best gas milage followed by the 06 Accord. The 06 just doesn't have the best body parts as they are mostly flimsy plastic nowadays.The 06 Accord is probably also the fastest by far out of any of those cars. The R1 of course is soo much faster it doesn't even compare though.

You got me a little jealous now with the R1. I've been thinking about getting one.

Its a Ford Aspire. I guess because it aspires to be a real car. But it will save me about $150 a month. The other reason I want to do it, besides gas savings, is to keep the miles down on my truck so it will last longer.

If you're over 5'6 don't buy it. My friend's dad has one of those. He's 6'3 I'm 6'2 and neither one of us can fit in that car right at all. Which is a real pain in the *** cause it's a stick shift. Even with the seats back the whole way and decently recilined your knees still smack of the steering wheel unless you tilt it the whole way up like a big rig.

I agree with hometheaterman on this one. The crotch rocket is the best combination of gas mileage and fun. and they're soooo fast

Well joke about carfax if you like, I looked up the car I was going to look at, and found out that in addition to it being a rental for the first 3 years of its life (I know how I drive a rental), it was also in 2 accidents. I'm passing on it, but will keep looking for something else.
