This thing is carvernous, the seats are great, it is silent, I like its front end (much less the rear).
But I want more fun factor in my car.

SodaLuvr Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you. Spoilers and bodykits are how much of the wall you take with you. Rollcages and windownets are how much of a mess you leave on the wall.
thats great

Well, we just traded in our RL and old Altima for two new Hondas. It was originally going to be a new Accord, and Civic, but it turned out to be two Civics.
The Civics are very large! You can fit 4 adults comfortably in them like our RL. The Accord however was bigger than our RL, and when we test drove the 190hp 4 banger, that car was slow. Car had no pick up on the highway at all with 3 adults. You floor it, and you could get ran over. The V6 we didn't want due to gas. So when we test drove the Civic, we were so impressed that the car felt like it had a ton more power than the Accord and really got on the highway with ease. I think the Accord is now too heavy for it's 4 banger power plants. This is why it felt so slow.
So we now own a loaded to the hill w/navi Civic EX-L, and a mid grade EX Civic. My Z is still around also.
