Balance. Taste.

Bomb proof?

Meh.

Honda Civic Si. The limited slip diff will make up for not being AWD, and will be better than RWD one-wheel-peelers. You won’t find a cheap RWD limited slip car anyway.

As a Civic Sport leaser who deals with aggressive rush hour traffic, I’m curious what your thoughts are on Honda Sense?

I doubt they charge... My bet is they swap in already charged batteries. Probably have quick disconnects that also double as safety features in the event of a crash.

But can it out-pace a Porsche Macan?

I Cross shopped the Mazda 6 too... There were simply no deals on the Mazda, where the Optima lease was so cheap my friends were thinking I wad lying to them. (Got a similar deal on the Civic)

My ‘15 Optima was the nicest, highest quality car I’ve ever owned (for this 43 year old guy). It performed far smaller than it’s actual size. It didn’t quite feel VW or Audi in road feel, but similarly excelled almost paradoxically in handling, feel, and ride quality.

Former Beetle owner and air cooled fan (no pun intended).

Same complaint I have with my Civic hatch... But the center exhaust does look cool.

I love the Civic Sport I just leased...

I think its to protect against unexpected rapid acceleration dumping your condoms and gum into your big gulp.

Do what Kia/Hyundai did - poach Audi’s designers.

Haha

So you work at a dealership, and are capable of justifying doing inappropriate things in inappropriate ways.

Really take a second to think about this sentence:

Much better. With cool little projectors just below the turn signals... Boom.

Still smarter than spending $200k on the pre-depreciated version...

Well, he didn’t crash -so logically it wasn’t better then crashing.
