    My sister has a 02 Accord, most UNCOMFORTABLE seats ever. After 20 min i want to shoot myself.

    I drove 24 hours in my e30, wasnt that bad at all. Seats were comfy, the only thing I didnt like was the wind noise, but I got used to it after a while. I had stock sound system too, so no CD's for me!

      yeah, the E30's are pretty loud inside the cabins... i duno what world you from... however i do still enjoy good drives, not straight line drives, but the drives in BC are all exceptional as far as diversity goes so i really enjoy it. and i too know what this is like to drive 25 hours sraight... its pretty fun... hahaha, i however did it in an F250, carrying a helicopter engine from ontario to BC

            I think you should just let him get a honda. E30's are enthusiast cars, if you don't really love them they will probably seem like more work than they're worth (like most 15 year old cars).

                  so by that rationale, its the choice of car itself that makes a person an "enthusiast", as opposed to say, a person getting excited about whatever car they have?


                  Hell, if those aren't 'enthusiast cars', we better discount all VWs, most audis (they're FWD after all...), etc etc

                      Awd cars can be enthusiast cars wrx, evo, ect... Mayby its wrong to exclude fwd cars, but look at how few "classic" ones there are. (Yes I know the mini is fwd)

                        Works out good for me, the common person gives them so little respect that they almost ignore them. This way I don't have any problems with people vandalizing/stealing/etc.

                              My point goes far beyond what the driving wheels are.

                              Civics and Accords suck the big one. The only following they have is kids that got them passed down from mom and pops and have proceeded to spent their allowances on APC's full line of fart cans and go fast gearz.
