Gotta be a base model cavalier. They aren't much different now than the first ones. Same pushrod 2.2 engine, same beam axle suspension....

hmm, sounds familiar... hehe, the civic now is virtually unchanged in acceleration since the start of the 5th gen's model run, and unlike the cav our suspension has actually taken a step backwards rather than sideways from a decade ago

I assume we're talking new cars here, in which case, I think you guys mean sunFIRE, not sunbird, and Geo no longer exists either.

Sorry to say this, but Im not to fond of Honda. I still wish I had my cobra. When I sell this car, and my insurance goes back down from the 8 tickets I got w/ it, I plan on buying another cobra. Dont get me wrong, my civic is ok and I like talking about it, but its just not realy what I wanted.
