I have a Honda as well. I drive a bone-stock 5speed base model as can be '89 CRX. The one thing I have that most other Honda's don't is that I get ~350-400 mpg average :D.

So do you cruise in neurtral? Well thats what do I do to get the same mileage as you.

Now a days I only rev my engine past 3k only in the morning to get to work.

Well I drive a POS 97 civic. You know what I don't even know the real difference between a CX and DX. The only difference I notice is the rear windshield wipers.

Death to Honda and Toyota for making boring cars!!

Good thing your getting an RX-8 so you can dump that POS!! How can you invest all that $$$ into an economy car?

BTW, as the old sying goes..."The lug nuts on my Mustang require more torque than your Honda makes!"

(Just a little good natured pot-stirring on a Friday afternoon.)

Some people have posted every vehicle they've ever owned, so I'll follow suit. Here they are, in order:

'79 Pontiac Sunbird
'78 Ford Fiesta
'90 Nissan Sentra
'94 Saturn SL2
'96 Saturn SL2
'98 Audi A4 1.8T & '92 Toyota 4WD pickup
'97 Saab 900S
'00 BMW 328i
'02 Nissan Frontier 4WD pickup

I plan to keep the pickup and add the RX-8.

Black '87 RX-7 Turbo. It's become such a part of me that a surgical procedure will be required to remove it from me. I have an appointment with the doctor in about 4 weeks :D

Here's my list:

--1981 Chevy Malibu 6cyl., on extended loan from grandmother (gas economy of a V8, power of a I4)

--1988 Mazda 323 LX, pretty good except for those damn rear wheel bearings, first car paid for by me.

--1995 Integra GS-R, I/H/E, Enkei wheels, I loved that damn thing

--2001 BMW 325i, bought in Germany, nice car, too expensive,

--1988 Toyota Tercel, carbeurated, had something like 234k mi on the odometer, biggest POS I've ever owned, it's what I drove while saving for the RX-8.

Current Car:

--1997 Honda CR-V, the family hauler, could use a little more power, but overall, a good car.

Could you tell us about your experiences with Mazda? There are people out there that think of it as a really bad car company.

I'm a Mazda kind of guy myself, having owned 2 RX-7's and driven and loved my mom's protege's (1990 and 2000) and friend's protege5 (2002).
