WHERE DO I GO FROM A 240??????????? 200

I've been a brick lover since '95 when we got our first one. We still own two, including "Sven".

I felt I had to move to something getting better mpg since I have a commute that's over 50 miles each way, and have been commuting such distances since fall of '01.

So I got a Honda Civic, and I'm not sorry. It's not a Volvo but it hasn't let me down either. Please don't throw any bricks at me.

I suggested an Accord for my parents when they totaled their Camry recently. A bit bigger than Civic so has improved safety and comfort.

For me, the fact that mine is a 5-speed coupe HX version gives it the 'personality' I'm looking for; whether it has a soul or not I'm not yet certain. The HX is optimized for fuel economy, with tall gearing and a lean-burn engine. I've been getting about 40 mpg; had two trips of 150 miles each at 53 mpg before they started feeding us winter mix fuel last fall.
