New Ride

Post by sentrase »

Sold the Civic and traded in the Accord for FR-S. So far I love everything about it, but especially the seating position. Finally some room to sit normally! It's feels very close to what the Civic was, except it has AC. This is my first new car purchase and I got to say it was a very good experience.

I'll stay in C-street for now. I really don't feel like building anything right now.

James, I have to decline any co-drive requests till it has at least 1000 miles on the odo :lol:

Very nice. Hate to see the civic go though. Such a well put together car. Who's the lucky New owner?

I feel like the FRS fit me better than any car that I've ever sat in...

Civic went to Atlanta.

I just don't see a bright future for STC and I had this car for 4 years plus the stints with the first Civic and the CRX.

Exactly my thoughts. When I drove the Accord back to the dealer, after swapping the stock steering wheel on, I just despised the seating position and the giant bus wheel rubbing my thighs. FR-S feels cavernous for driver space.

Awesome! The few times I drove one they seemed to be great cars. Needs stickier tires than the rocks they put on at the factory. :smile:
