3) Thus, it's more expensive to own, less logically designed, and more likely to break down/catch on fire/start a facist regime than a Civic.
Lol, thats pretty funny. There is this one kid in my auto class that drives a GTi. One day he got an earful over MB. He was talking about his german engineering crap and i let him have it over how overweight and underpowered MBs are.

There is an age-old formula that manages to remain true for pretty much all European cars.

Pick Two:

1) Too Expensive
2) Too Heavy
3) Too Weak

the fact that when you try to put it in first gear sometimes you have to fight not to put it in reverse.. why would someone put the reverse right next to first gear??? i mean com on... not even the american car companies do that lol
