Intelligent point. This is one of the reasons why I leased that car. I don't want to resell the car and have to explain why I didn't get A/C.

Leasing is also a case of no-brainer here. After 96000km/4 years with an interest rate of 1.99%, the residual is 51%, compared to less than 40% in the USA, as reflected by the +115$ a month payment (assuming same tax rate). The same car in the USA would cost me +48% a month!!!!

Congrats! It's a good car and I'm sure your kids are grateful to have such nice parents to buy them a brand new car.

Don't worry, it has ESP so it'll wrap itself around a tree and keep on going

This is the 3rd Honda I leased and the return was easy. My children take my Bimmer regularly and they are even more careful than me.

At worst, I will make a check for the residual at the end of the term, no big deal.

I find this doubtful at best. For they know about ESP....and with that knowledge they can be reckless and have no worries......95%

Congrats for the reply that makes the least sense of the day. You must be an idiot or stop typing under influence.

I owned a 1991 no-X Civic hatch with 4-speed manual, no AC, and a radio. At the age I was, I simply appreciated having wheels. Your daughter will, too, and you are right, it is MUCH safer than my 1991. Congrats on the new car.

This was in the US, so it had no designation. Your edit is correct.

Take note that this perfect imbecile just jumped in a thread where he had no business just to stir some trouble.

1 - that's a mod issue; not mine.

2 - I've certainly seen you give as good as you've got.

So you Leased a DX for your daughter. You know the LX is probably $10 bux more a month. You acted like it's no big deal paying the residual, yet $10 more a month for a much better car is a lot to you.

Too bad there wasn't E90 318 here in NA, you probably would have gotten that too and brag about it.

God, please let me know DX has power window.

Find one thread where I initiated troubles. You'll find none. I just choose to respond to a few idiots whenever I feel like.

That's not 10$ a month; here it is 40$ more a month or 480$ a year or almost 2000$ over the term.

It would have taken less time to check than to write this reply; stop ASSuming.

So? You're hyper-reactionary. The slightest bit of criticism of your position and you launch into histrionics and invectives (for example - https://acurazine.com/forums/showpos...1&postcount=69). You're just as guilty of derails as anyone who "started it."

Nevertheless, pretty sure you launched the first salvo here: https://acurazine.com/forums/showpos...6&postcount=16

Fine example of - slightest criticism and you launch into histrionics and invectives.

Are you really suggesting that the "efficiency" quip was worth your reply. Gimme a break.

So, the Civic is not a terrible idea...just not really seeing the non-A/C option here. And I'm on the side of the fence where I believe the OP has responsible kids and will take care of the car their parents got them.


For effs sakes, I took the damn bus until I was finished college. Wish MY parents leased me a non-A/C car.

Okay, I take that back. They will have no A/C and like it.

See your understanding is lacking *again* here.

Why again did I chose a brand new Civic over an used car? Look at post #1 and You have no right to fail again.

You talking about this statement - "THE factor I went new is because standard ESP / 6 airbags is standard. Security is an important consideration (again the car is for our children). I am a strong believer in these technologies and decided to put my money where my mouth is."?

Are you suggesting there are no used cars with the adequate safety features?
