What sort of person are you when it comes to choosing a new car? Luxury vs. Sport? Style vs. Function? Enviornmental vs. Gas Guzzler? What about your dream car? Power or Comfort? What is important to you? To start things off, I'd say that for me, performance and the thrill of driving is what it's all about. I drive a Civic Si in a city and even though it is a six-speed manual, I love to drive it in the city and curvy roads. Exit/Entrance ramps are extra fun!

My car is economical to run and is fairly good for the environment. In the front there is a seat for me and someone else. On the back seat are two baby and toddler seats for you son and daughter. My car is automatic but it can also be a semi manual car. I like its direct locking and electric windows. It has five doors and it blue. I passed my practical driving test last month and I am having lots of fun driving around. I like driving in the town streets and country lanes.

Congradulations on passing the driving exam and welcome to freedom! I'm assuming that the "5" door feature means its a hatch-back? Those have really come a long way in the past few years and I myself have been looking into a few of those models. I espcially like the semi-manual features of today's cars - paddle shifters or a automatic with a +/- feature all help you feel closer to your car. If your going to spend lots of time in it, might as well enjoy it!

I definetly see where you are coming from. I'm sure later in life I will have the same outlook. My family has a Highlander and I love driving it, even if its not exactly geared for performance. Big, comfortable and easy to drive - can't go wrong there. Thanks for the input!

I'm all about function. I don't care if it looks great or is real sporty. I prefer something that gets what I need done efficiently. Because of this, I look a lot at the environmental specs of it, as well as size. With my city driving I want to stick away from something too big. Happy mylotting!

I am the kind of person who likes fast, sport and powerfull cars. But I also like SUB's, I feel powerful and untouchable in them. But my absolute preference are sport cars. FAST,PETROL, AND V8 or more!

I would choose power over comfort because I still enjoy the thrill of spirited driving occasionally. Of course, I'm only enjoying it on open roads especially when there are few vehicles. Maybe when I get older, that's the time I would pick comfort, function over anything else. It's nice to hear that you're enjoying your Civic. It's a fun car to drive.. I'm loving mine too

Good to hear that I'm not the only one enjoying the Civic. I totally agree that open roads are much more exciting and appropriate for performance based cars. I'd love to go to a place like in the commericals where the roads are up against a mountian and filled with corners. I'm sure everyone else would too!
