i Went to the dark side.....

Well for about 15 minutes or so......

I test drove my friends mustang v6 on lunch break. Its really not that bad of a car, a little peppy. The only down fall is, being 6"3 you have to kinda squeeze into it. Other then that, its a decent car.

hahah trator! Driving it for fun is all good. I have to be the most divoted honda owner out there.

the reason I didnt fit well was, the clutch pedel was real high up in the air and my knee would hit the stearing wheel no matter how i would adjust it. The civic pedels are deep. I like my car alot better [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

lol that's the same reason I bought a 2001 LX instead of a 2000 EX: the 6th gen is too cramped and my knees kept banging on the steering wheel.

So what you're saying is that you took a drive in a V6 Mustang, right [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG].

So he took a drive in a V6 Mustang...ok.

I see nothing wrong with that...

as long as your destination is down a rocky cliff and into a boiling river of lava [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].

Just Kidding...nothing's wrong with a test drive

Drive a Cobra.....

I agree that most fords are absolute cr@p, but I have driven cobras and they are VERY nice cars. Ford actually makes an effort to build a nice machine.

I test drove a 2k2 Mustang GT before I got the Civ. It felt like I was lookin' through a mail slot! All cramped and stuff too. I wasn't able to open it up because the dealership sux and we had to bring the car back before the stupid thing even warmed up. The horrible view out the front pretty much killed the thought of getting a Mustang anyways.

I'll tell you this much I hate domestics, and I hate the mustang, but the 2002 GT is really fast....drove one with Intake Exhaust and springs...I got a good knocking back into my seat something that never happens in the civ, but in the end I'd take the civic over it because I love how it looks, how it feels, and how it drives.

ahh yes, my old 6th gen ex. I remember that car, it was awsome, but somewhat craped in the inside. I like the 7th gens better, more cabin room.

I test drove a Mustang before I got my Civic. It felt cheap. Real cheap. I hate how the hood is all up in the air. I couldn't see the road. And I thought the inside was like a kids car. All cheap plastic that caved in when you touched it. I just didn't like it.
