Re: which car for hwp?
Civic Coupe (Si?) should be on that list too I think, at least for a test drive. I really like my civic sedan. but i have to worry about sprogs in the back and it seems based on recent developments that a minivan is now in my future...

Re: which car for hwp?
The Civic or the minivan
Personally I though the coupe usualy screamed "Teen Boy Racer"?
What about real cars with 2 seats and no roof? If I were you I'd be looking at Miatas and Solstices and Mustangs and the like to. Too loud I guess.
Wont find quieter or safer small car than the Honda I suspect, and its pretty zippy, especially the 2.0...not sure about seat warmers though.

I'd have a Jeep Compass. They're probably crap, but they look cute and they're not too common... and that's obviously what matters in buying a car

Re: which car for hwp?
Sorry Peas had to be a sheep and follow the herd (or whatever sheeps come in - flocks thats it) but the mini cooper is just a fabby all rounder.
Performance, a modecombe (sp) of street cred and will hold their price. They look great inside and don't scream boy racer or married with 12 kids.
Would suit you - racey, modern and loveable!!!!!

Doesnt have to be a porsche...it was the principal that was important I thought...
Hang on....Estate agent or tosser...you mean one group is not a subset of the other?
