First of all, sorry to clutter up the forum with my random comments (all two of them). But anyways, I recently returned from my roadtrip in my 95 GL. I visited my mom and dad and went to dinner with them one night. Out of curiosity, I offered to drive my mom's 2000 Civic, and I felt like I was driving a go-cart. I even floored it (which made mom and dad a little ticked) and the accleration was on the lower end of okay. Sure these are very "reliable" cars, and are rather inexpensive, but I was not impressed. The interior was cramped and boring. When I'm in my Contour, I feel like I'm in a jet cockpit from the way it was designed. All I can say is I'm glad I spent 3500 on my 95 Contour GL which has a V6, instead of 3500 on a 89 Civic.
