Default Well I got my new car!

And it's not a 350z (long story, bank wanted 10% interest).


It's a 2012 Honda Civic 1.8vtec EX. And she gets ~39mpg on the highway
I really like the dash on this thing.

After the bank was gonna screw me on the 350z because it was too old I decided to look at new ones. I got into one of the brand new Civics they had and loved the interior, then I saw the gas mileage on these things and I was practically sold right then. There's really not much to think about with Hondas, they're great cars. Sure it's quite a bit more expensive than the 350z, but I'm getting a 1.9% interest rate for 60 months and a car with an 8yr warranty. It just seemed like a smarter buy and something I'll enjoy for years. The 350z would have been fun but was less than practical, low 20s for gas mileage, 2 door 2 seat, almost non existent trunk. Not to mention the 350z had no warranty, so if the clutch went out two weeks after I bought it I was SOL.

You made a good buy. Not having to do maintenance repairs will save you money over the long run. You'll have money to fix your truck now.
