Hybrids are the buzzword now, and people marvel at how the latest Civic hybrid gets 50mpg.
Autoweek had a short article on the early Civics, which got 55mpg with a carb. 1.2L, 50hp, 1500lbs. Sure, they were slow, but they were described as still being fun to drive. The way most people drive modern Civics, I doubt they'd notice if they suddenly only had 50hp. (yes, I know emissions are much better, it's quieter, it crashes better, yada, yada...) |

That was pretty cool (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) That car, when driven gently, will get 30+ mpg too (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif) |
