Can't answer for the kids, since I'm not one, but I consider CiViCs to be like 'advanced go karts.' Simply put - they're fun to drive. I had a '65 I-6 and '66 V-8 Mustang. One of my kids has a '78 Mustang II. They are fun to drive too, but not as much fun IMHO...

Another nice feature is you can buy anything for CiViCs. I've never seen a car that was so widely supported by the aftermarket manufacturing community, except maybe the 55-57 Chevy. CiViCs are the '55 Chevy of the 90's.

I don't suppose I need to tell you that the 'new' Mustangs are the arch-enemy of the Honda CiViC, do I? So, we won't even go there.

Lastly, at least for me, I wanted something that got good mileage. It will become abundantly clear to you why in November when we start bombing Iraq and the Arabs shut down our gas supply...
