Lol. Believe me, around southern ontario, noone knows how to merge, Ottawa is especially bad.

What does this have to do with jalopnik?

Noice. Cars from Vancouver don`t rust as much as everywhere else, so it`s probably NP.

I could see it in Virginia or North Carolina, sure. Where I am from we average (according to wiki weather data) about 164 feet of snow per year.

The hell are you talking about? Sure all seasons can be safe in ideal conditions, but then winter was never known for "Ideal conditions".

Agreed. Nowhere is safe, auto manufacturers.

Looked at buying one back in 05. I think it was 91 or 92. Dealer wanted $6k. Ended up getting a ford tempo for $2200. Yeah, I agree, the tempo is a worse car, BUT I could get almost 3 for the price of 1 civic.

Agreed. I looked at buying one when I was in the market for a fun cheapish used car ($2-3K). Way out of my range.

2003 Cavalier: "The beast"...cause it's (usually) the loudest car on the road.

I agree, but on a side not, I can't believe they don't make a Mazda 6 wagon anymore. Or maybe they do, it just isn't manual. i thought it had sold fairly well.

L"Not everyone looks at car buying the same way you do"...Thank god for that!! Otherwise what I want would be priced quite high.

Don't worry. I won't.

You know what I don`t want? A Luxury SUV. Even if I could afford it, there is no way I would ever buy one. What the hell is the purpose of them? If you are buying these, you're rich! Want a sportscar? Buy a real sports car. Need an suv? Buy an suv! yOU'RE RICH, YOU CAN HAVE BOTH WITHOUT COMPROMISES.

Hey I shut my own doors ever since I could remember!

No idea...its amazing!

Korean tow trucks drive like racers in "Burnout"

This. I hate minivans with power doors. I can close the dayum door.

No, I agree with you. I would love to have that thing.
