Dont let your experience with one thing make you think the whole herd is bad.
A mexican kid broke into my car and stole my stereo. Mexicans are bad people!

I don't think I have made the same comment as you quote in the last sentence. My experience told me what I experience with my car. That is the truth. That 89 Festiva is not suitable running on freeway. I noticed the window shaking on freeway speed. It's quiet down when I was drafting behind a truck very closely. That 13" tires didn't provide enough stopping power. We, 5 people, weighs about 700 pounds total. I don't think that makes a big difference with 4 people with 200 pounds each. It's 3 speed automatic transmission is not designed for freeway used. I believe 5 speed stick shift is much better. My comment is "some car design is better than others in certain area." I still miss my 89 Festiva for its super efficiency. However, I enjoy more with Civic/xB on freeway or when heavy load (man/thing) is needed.
