jacksonbart Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 The C-6 base suspension has a good balance between handling and comfort in my experiance. I mean I never drive it on dirt roads and the local roads aren't super rutted so that could be a big part of it. But I took a 7 day road trip in her this past summer driving from Philly to Cincinnatti,to Bowling Green to Nashville, to Memphis, to Staunton then back home and we were both comfortable. I will say as those run flats start putting on miles, tire noise becomes more pronounced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Bart, I bet you got decent gas mileage too, not the old Corvettes 8 to 14 miles per gallon !!!!!!!!! OB, really if you drive it like a regular car, she is pretty good on fuel. In full auto mode, the RPMs usually never get above 1000 rpms. Cruising at 90 mph in 6th you are just under 2000 rpms. On the highway you are looking at 30 mpg, which is better than my 2001 Maxima. If you lay on it, expect 6 to 8 MPG under full throttle but you will also have a smile across your face and your heart will be racing. I agree, I have paid cash for the past 3 cars I have owned, no point in paying interest on a depreciating asset if you don't need to.

Mr Tech Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 The Bible recommends driving Honda's. "They continued daily in one Accord to the temple" -Acts 2:46 The Bible also recommends that we sing in our Honda's.

Gilbert Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I don't have much cash for various reasons and thinking of buying a used 2003 Audi 4 with 49423 miles. Wada think? Turbo 4 or V6 ? Quattro or No-Quattro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksonbart Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 American car makers are closing the quality gap between the Japanese auto makers (of course tell that to the buyers of couple of really bad american models over the past few years), unfortunalty for Detriot, the Korean Auto maker are starting to match the Japanese. Some Eurpopean makers seem immune to "percieved: quality issues due to "style" , "performance" & "history". Of the American brands, Cadillac is doing its best to match that. Still I love the Corvette, cheeze and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsear Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Many replies already. I have no problem buying used as long as I can get service records. I do prefer foreign over domestic vehicles. They just seem to hold up better and hold their value better. I will shop a car like mad and have travelled to purchase them and have had them shipped cross country.
