And one of only four cars that isn't *** in the pride parade that is this fwd-centric industry.

They're pretty cool. You would be one spiffy hometown if you drove one of them.

They look like a pretty sweet ride. A Healy would make a great 2nd car but considering I'm using my next car as my daily driver it's probably not a good idea.

The fine print under the roadster says it is a China vehicle...did you notice?

It does look nice. But impractical in my small hometown.

Re: Test drove 4 cars this evening
Well I finally have gotten rid of my Grand Prix via a lease-takeover. I'm a little sad to see it go as it's a nice car, but now that mortgage rates in Canada are super low and prices are great, I decided to buy a place and get a nice, well looked after pre-owned car. I've narrowed it down to two models that I'm looking at so we'll see what happens. It's so weird not having a car now lol!

Are you buying a house too? Which 2 cars are you looking at?....Or is a secret until you drive it home?

I'm looking at some 1/2 bedroom condos. Not surprisingly in many parts of the US and even in other parts of Canada I can get a single family home or townhome for the same price as a condo in BC.

I think I'll keep it a secret :P hehehe. I will say that they aren't GM products (or from the Big 3 for that matter) - I just would like something different and since it's used I'm not supporting anyone besides a local dealer or private owner lol.

Give me a break... Two years from now? What a nightmare for the comission salesman. You sound like a wannabe car reviewer all at the expense of a guy trying to pay the bills.

What is a half bedroom? Is it like a half bath: sink, shower, and urinal?

Haha no I meant 1 or 2 bedroom. I actually have an accepted offer now on a really great 1 bedroom condo in my area and I got it for a great price. In addition to that I have found a car as well and I'm getting an inspection done on it tomorrow so if it all goes well (which I'm sure it will) then I will have a new (used) car. It's been so weird not having a car for a week, luckily I've been able to drive my mom's Torrent if I need to.

Re: Test drove 4 cars this evening
So you obviously helped the resale value of one car company.

Re: Test drove 4 cars this evening
In a way yes - but considering I got it for below wholesale value I don't think I'm really helping Honda's resale value haha.
