      Front wheel drive.

      Less engine displacement than a [Chevy] Nomad.

      Lame.

        You haven’t driven one have you? I have, I owned one for three years, well technically it was the EUDM accord but it is the same car save for a few things.

        It has a beautifully balanced chassis.

        The buildquality is way above what’s expected in this class.

        The k series engine is a gem, loves to rev and sounds great doing it.

        The manual transmission is probably the nicest shifting you’ll ever find in a fwd.

        And now to the subjective things:

        It is good looking.

        Great seats.

        The interior is well thought out.

        The rainsensing wipers turned on and off exactly as I would want them to, that is the only car I can say that about and I’ve driven a lot of newer car including premiumcars.

        Great visibility from the drivers seat.

        Pretty good aftermarket support.

          I was just being silly and paraphrasing a very old reference.

          (It is still fundamentally a FWD sedan, though, and therefore objectively inferior to, say, my Miata. 😜 )

            Ahh shit, didn’t catch that 😅 but that’s an incredible high standard to compare to, there’s only the s2000 and the mx5 and rx8 in that league that’s still attainable, and the rx8 needs an engineswap before we even begin 😅
