I have recently found myself in the position of having to use a '99 civic vtec as a daily driver (blew the gearbox up in the outback). Anyway, its wierd, all of a sudden i have found myself driving like a typical honda driver, its like this car is subliminally encouraging me to cut through traffic, tailgate everyone, brake at the very last available millisecond and rev the piss out of the motor at every available opportunity. It just feels natural to drive in this manner in the honda. I just thought i would share this weird phenomenon with everyone.

yeah, i have to say, its an extremely fun car to buz around town in. It handles like a gokart, it has the most responsive engine of probably anything on the cheap side of an m3. Its never gonna win you a traffic light drag, but around town, as long as you work the gearbox its actually pretty quick. I had a newish v8 ute having to work very hard to keep up through a set of round abouts today.

And it even returns 7.5l/100k around town, even if you strap it. amazing.
