I am rather suggesting that you didn't read and / or understand (again) the post #15.

I am not interested in paying 1000-1200$ for A/C at all. I had plenty of cars without it and in Canada, it is not as much as a concern as in the Southern US. We will survive.

Well, I had to go research it, but it appears you are correct (I looked at Civics and Corollas from 2007 on, FYI). Stability control didn't become standard across the line until 2012 and really only showed up on the top trim levels in prior years; all of which are currently above your stated price threshold in used form right now.

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

I see no financial benefit to leasing a brand new car for a teenager given the plethora of available, and cheap, used cars our there.

There. I've opined. Feel happy now?

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?
Wow, sounds like you two need to get a room...

No. You don't deserve that since you did it in a relatively civil manner.

BTW, yes I spend more to get ESP. I remember that exactly 20 years ago, I did the same when I insisted to get ABS as a 600$ option on my then brand new Mazda MX-3 Precidia GS V6 1.8L 1992.

Typical Sarlacc reply; an ultra-moronic kind of noise in a thread where he has no business.

Enjoy your Whitney Houston songs, drag queens style (of course).

Saintor, just leave the forum dude. Seriously.

Everyone hates you. What do you get out of this?

Every thread you post turns into this type of garbage.

I really do feel sorry for you dude.

Most part because some trolls as you and Sarlacc just jump in, with no reason but smart-ass replies.

Just both of you assholes ignore my thread/post and everything will be just fine, as it should.

It was too small for a 6 with no low-end guts. Many did a 2.5L swap from the MX-6/626/Probe. However it had a great engine note (rev limiter was 7500rpm).

i would expect that to rev close to 10k to make any kind of power.
