Having an extra vehicle is a luxury that costs at least some money, but its one that is nice to have. Having a "beater" is great for those fishing trips or a trip into the city where you might have to park in a narrow garage space or (even worse) use a "valet". Great if you need to drive in the...

Originally Posted By: LT4 Vette How does the Fit compare to the Civic in terms of ride quality ? I've never owned a Fit, but did test drive and have ridden in other peoples'. In my opinion, the Fit rides a bit more roughly than the Civic. Both are pretty firm riding, but the Fit feels...

Originally Posted By: saaber1 Originally Posted By: daves87rs Wonder why they would do that... The salesman said it was for legroom. If you sit higher your legs are bent and they don't have to be stretched out as far compared to if the seat was lower to the floor. Makes sense I guess. Why...

Interesting about the stereo. The line-up is different in the US, but my wife's Civic VP has terrible speakers (two in door, two in the back). My LX has much better sound (has additional tweeters in top dash, not sure if other speakers are the same or not, possibly not). Not sure how which your...
