It's your parents choice. If I was your dad and knew about both cars, you'd be driving the Civic.   Because: Civic gets better gas mileage! Insurance!! Civic is slower - less likely for you to get in trouble! "Hondas are reliable!" "Fix Or Repair Daily!" Just messing around. Good luck.

tell your dad to test-drive the svt and then maybe he will understand ...either that or he will give you the civic and get an svt for himself

Why in the hell would you would want a Ford over a Honda. Hondas/Toyota, all foreign cars almost never brake down.

How much I wish I could. Unfortunely I have spent thousands on repairs in the short time I have owned this mistake. I doubt I could find anyone to give me 3 grand for it.
