Wow. That would be quite a change from a 5 seater. Would your wife be willing to ride in it with you? I'd wonder about parts too. You could splurge on am '08 Fit (PaleMelanesian is have fun with one). How about hunting down a 2000-2006 Insight?

'96 Accord only needs a timing belt and a pair of tires to be fully roadworthy for me. So I likely will be driving that for about a year. I got about 34 mpg when I filled it a couple days ago. Not bad for the bigger beast but not mpg competition material.

Join Team Honda with it! A 96 Accord with the 5-speed is a good car for this FE game. It's not about the "winning" so much as the fun of the game and the support of community for technical ideas and problem solving.
