Did you say Hybrid? Are those things highway safe? lol jk, I saw a Prius on the highway going over 80 when I passed him in my Camaro doing over 100... For some reason they think they are super star speed racers...
I work for honda. fix them day in and out. although the newer ones are crap. they just dont build them like they used to. now adays its all about bluetooth and leather seats and quanity over quality.
I get the other techs laughing when my boss gives me a headgasket job or valve adjustment.... "What are valves?" "why does this motor have soo many moving parts?"
overall they are good for gas savings as a daily driver. I had a black/black 2005 S2000 for a year before I purchased my house. It was fun but I dont miss the cramped interror or lack of torque. I wish i could swap in that trans though. so crisp.

Unless you have one or more up your ***!
It's not the Hondas, it's the people who drive them. :-)
For the record, my Dad, myself, and my brother all drive Hondas, and apart from my Dad hitting a dear (at the one time he can't avoid one), and my stupidly breaking off my passenger side mirror (due to some garden tools falling in the way and not noticing them), none of us have killed any RX7s with our cars :-).
On the other hand, we all know better than to text while driving. That's a dangerous practice, and there's a reason that laws have been passed or are being considered to ban such behavior. The rather graphic and lengthy UK ad on the dangers of texting while driving should be shown in drivers' ed.
I know first hand that bad weather can lead to a crash (I got into my first collision during a heavy snow storm that I shouldn't have been out in the first place). People go too fast for conditions to allow or simply don't know how to drive in bad weather, or didn't have sense. In every instance when I got into trouble (getting stuck or off the road), it was because I was doing something I shouldn't have been doing.

I would have given $500, they wouldn't take it.
