So in my family we sold the 96 Honda Civic Coupe, the 97 Honda CRV, the 97 Honda Prelude, the 97 Honda Accord (5th gen, European Model) althought they were full equiped, reliable, pretty, sporty to drive and better fuel economy. But it sounds crazy driving anything without 5 stars Euroncap, ESP, lots of airbags, (4 stars if second hand).
How do people live in such fear? I'd much rather be seen as a madman.

About the article, maybe a few Civic drivers from here should post comments on the ricer site how they manage better mpg without ridiculously costly mods?
