I'm kinda having doubts. I was driving over 85 mph of the freeway, but I have trouble keeping up with the curves. I don't like the suspension, will have to change that.
It's roomy and all, headroom that is. My hair doesn't touch, therefore my head doesn't itch. haha!
As far as the susp goes, my 95 feels better.

I still like my car and when I get the opportunity in July, I'll be trading it in for an SI or a Prelude. This is the first Honda I've ever owned and now it's time to experiment and explore the world of "Going Fast"!!!!!
Okay so I was transporting a few friends to a new years eve party 1.5 horus away from where we all live. In my back seat was a guy who owns an Accord... I saw him perk up in the backseat thru my rearview and I was wondering what he was looking at... hes like "whoa this thing handles 140 really well!"... I didn't even realize i was going that fast... and btw - 140 kph is 87mph, and it was an 80km/h (50mph) speed zone!
enough about how well my car handles at high speeds... I love my civic - all except for the interior rattles... but seriously... it looks just plain awesome, has more than enough power and speed for me...... its a great car.
It's a love hate thing, but mostly love. could use a better suspension, better brakes, more power, and some more noise insulation (to stop the rattles). But all this can be added. It's not terribly slow, and it handles more than alright. but as i said, it could be better.
i like it. if i had anything faster i would race all the time and have (A) major speeding tix or (B) be dead. my ride's got just enough speed for me to beat other people, and still have money to go out drinkin.
I like my Civic better every day. We knew the redesign was going to be a softer suspension and more of an "older person's car". If I want to go fast and rice hard, I've got a car that's made for that too.

confidence to take 40+mph on a corner
Have owned my Civic for almost 13 months now and have driven over 32,000 miles in it. But will probably trade it soon - too many little things , rattles , gas gauge, clutch creaking , road noise , paint chipping off hood - all starting to get old. Not the quality I had hoped for.
Drove an Accord yesterday - may get one or some other car with a V6.
20,000 miles and I love her more and more every time I drive. My last vehicle was a ford pickup, which I loved, but had the crappiest gas mileage. Like 10 mpg.
