Yes, that's why I went with the V6 Accord. There was no way I would have went from a V8 Mustang down to a four-cylinder. If I was Ok with that drop of power, I would have rather picked the Civic.
Now, my car does OK, especially if I put it down in sport mode. But it isn't an exciting car by any means. It's got most of all the bells and whistles, but it's not one of those cars where you sit around coming up with reasons why you have to hop in the car and head up to town.
Honestly, the way people drive around here, I might have to consider a Hummer. Something that is built like a tank. I feel like either a fast sports car that I can get in and out of traffic quickly or a big army tank of a vehicle where if it gets hit, I stand a fighting chance.
