I've recently been demoted from the beemer estate, which died from head gasket failure, to my old 95 Civic Lsi hatch which I had kept as a spare car. Had forgotten what fun the damn thing is to drive, I can see what Son Of Bob means. I think it might be to do with the lower standards of safety gear needed, less weight to drag around and so on, airbags at a minimum etc, its a lot more fun than the newer hatches ive driven.
