Nice link Shmokes....

Glad to see that both of my vehicles (Lexus RX300 and '06 IS250) rate very well for safety

The Civic is probably still the best value out there in that range.  Just runs... for more than a decade.

well, ive been in harry potters (is he still harry potter here?) mini and i have to say that it was pretty comfy. im 6'1" something and harry is taller than me. also a tad quicker than the ol' corolla  ;)

on the economy side, well the price is the factor isnt it? its not particularly cheap...

as an aside, its funy how mercans are panicking about the price of petrol and thinking they will change down to more fuel efficient cars. they wont. fuel here is equivalent to about $5.30 a gallon and even more in europe. people still keep buying big new cars. factories still keep makin em. i would really like that to change, but it's a bit like the price of cigarettes- double it tomorrow and maybe people will stop for a week or so, then theyll be back on em...

I don't need my car to provide fun for me.  I'm not a car person.  Get me where I want to go efficiently and reliably for a long time.  I'll have fun when I get there.  Put a solid sound system in it and I'm good.

The Fit Sport comes with 200 watt 6 speaker system with an aux jack for your MP3 player.   :D

I'd probably yank that and put one in that natively supports mp3.  My current car's stereo does.  No need to bother with an mp3 player and you only have to swap out the CD every couple of months.
