Oh I so do not think so. I am letting her use it when needed, but if she decide that she wants 4 doors we are selling the Audi Convertible.....

of course I write this because she never comes on here

1993 civic hatch. well over 40mpg on a regular basis. not too bad in the snow. lol, about the only time it'll spin first, second and third gear is IN the snow

otherwise, great little car.

i love getting 425 miles out of a tank of gas with two gallons remaining. 465 is the most i've gotten so far!

Bob, you got that right...

Was a f'ing nightmare driving tonight.

Going thru parts of Greenwich, I started sliding...backwards while going up a hill! And that was barely on the throttle (1st gear, 15-20 mph). I just let the motor's torque carry me in 1st or 2nd gear wherever possible, no throttle whatsoever. Often had a nice caravan of drivers behind me...

I'm sure the folks behind me on that one hill widened their eyes as they saw me slow down to a crawl...and start going backwards!
