I hear you. When I was 20 and a full time student, all I could afford was around $9K for a car. I have since made it up!!!:rocks:

When I was 20, I considered myself very fortunate to be driving a 7 year old Mazda RX7. I purchased it for $6000 the year prior (during my junior year of college).

What's wrong with Hondas? A friend of my had the RSX-S when it first came out, this was back in the 10th grade...everyone including the teachers were jealous.


I'd still love an S2000 now, would pick it over the Z4 too actually.


My first car was a 93 Accord, that thing was reliable. Even though it wasn't fast, it gave me a lot of good memories.

You're pretty much the reason everyone else hates BMW owners.

You have an 06 Accord and complaining? After I got rid of my 93 Accord, I was fortunate to jump in an 04 Accord..that was my first new car, probably one of the happiest days of my life..more memorable than the day I picked up my Evo or 335i I must say.

Because there is a lot of people out there who buys a BMW just to say they drive a BMW. A lot of girls I know would buy cars like you posted just to say they drive a Bimmer. Some of my friends were astonished when I spent $25,000 on a brand new Honda, and why I didn't opt for a used BMW or Benz.

OMG, why did you pay so much? For that price, you could've almost bought the TL!


The beauty of Hondas is that you can bargain quite a bit. A fully loaded Accord V6 should be no more than $28k out the door. The price I paid was $25,000 out the door...I negotiated it so that it was $22,500..and after TTL, it came out to be around the invoice price. The only feature I didn't get was the navigation, which would've cost an extra $1,500.

And just because you're a girl...that doesn't mean you have to drive an auto. One of my best friends is probably the girliest girl out there...but she will kill a good portion of the guys out there in a race track. She gets a lot of from guys when they hear the car being rev matched. Once I was in the car with her, and she tried to make a left turn, she heel/toed her way on the turn, and there was a guy in a Miata on the adjacent lane...he just stood up and kept looking back, haha.
