It was a bit outside my budget, but i had to it! Ya gotta get it with the dvd and navi! 'cuz with that you get a backup camera! 
Gas mileage sucks, though. Though i've been told i've spoiled myself by driving japanese cars all my life.  I drive a minivan (kid mobile). It doesn't get great gas mileage either. A good friend of mine has one of these and I've seen the back up camera. Cool! Yes it is pricey, but it's an Acura! It'll last forever. Have you seen the new ones? They look pretty different and actually look smaller to me. | |

Have you seen the size of my kid? No, but now that you say that I feel like a blond. 
Did you use a baby bjorn with your son? I did and it says that you can put a child up to 33 pounds in that thing! My kids were giants and their feet would've hit the floor at 33 pounds. Ya, I did but he was tiny when he was born but then after a few months he exploded into a giant kid. People think he is 3 or 4 - and he wears a size 4. He just turned 2 - and weighs 37.6 lbs. 
Ok, sorry...now back to cars. | |

I think the sporty Focus models are pretty sweet looking. 
Most fun car I ever drove was my mum's old '98 Ford Fiesta.  My mom drives one and I don't care for it. It doesn't come standard with ABS here in the US. She bought a basic package. And trust me--You really notice when ABS is missing on this thing. Also the pickup was not great, but then again--she drives an automatic. May be better with a stick. I like the dash controls though--everything is easy to find, and they don't over complicate it or try to make it fancy thereby confusing the fuck out of folks. | |

It gets me hard. If I chicken out and find it to pricey, I'll be getting this..  They're Golfs? Love the styling, but damn have they gotten big and heavy over the years! Should go for this

I'm actually looking to buy a new car soon. It will probably be a Honda 
 I am not fibbing lady!  And that's the story I am sticking with! J/K I really do like your car, and a Honda would be a good idea, my Sweetie swears by them.  Proud Memaw to Seyhan Olivia Christine ,Zoey Cirilo Jaylee & Ellie Abigail Lillian  | |

Only a 1.25 litre engine, crappy little wheels and looked like something a granny might drive, but with the 16v and not weighing a lot (and it was twitchy as hell as speed ) it was like a rocket.
I'd like a Nissan Skyline. Any Nissan Skyline, even an 80s model.  | |

I love the new look and i do like that it's bit smaller, makes it seem more like a crossover vehicle. i was leaning towards a Murano when searching for a new car, but i wasn't impressed with the interior or the features. Though, i think the Murano body stlye is one of the best in its class. The new Mazda crossover is kinda hot too.

Except mine has a big dent on the drive side, I was in a hurry leaving the office late one night and over corrected backing out of a parking space.
[Edited 8/22/07 19:49pm] You like trucks? My dad used to make me drive one in highschool because he said it was safer. I hated it at the time, but I wouldn't mind having one as a second vehicle. They do come in handy. I like them well enough and they're great as a second vehicle but, I'm so ready to buy me a car. But I can’t seem to wrap my mind around paying another note, I've become spoiled since I paid off my truck a few years back… just the mire thought of another car note makes my head hurt. | |

I'd like a Nissan Skyline. Any Nissan Skyline, even an 80s model. The Focus. I dont' really like American cars. I've even been in one of the new mustangs and was NOT impressed. They feel so cheap on the inside (the plastic/vinyle trimmin's N shit), even if they go fast. Albeit the upcoming camero looks pretty.
I think I'll stick with Japanese and German until the Americans catch up. | |

What is that? A go-cart? Exactly!
Just like the old Mini compared to the new one. You could do things with those that were computer game-ish.

I've always been impressed with German cars. I love Audis, but then my father has only ever had Beetles, Golfs, a Jetta, Audi 80s, an A4 and an A6 so it's just what I grew up with. | |

My friend's 3 month old boy is 7kg. Is that a lot? It sounds like a LOT.
Just checked - it's 15.4lbs. Seems like quite a bit for a 3 month old.

The TT is my favorite car ever. But I just cant see myself strapping a kayak to the top of one. I mean, it's ridiculous enough on a bug. | |
