I'm gonna do some bragging on my 2004 Honda Civic si. There is nothing GM makes for the price that can come close to it in terms of handling. I drive over a mountain twice a day and it is awesome....
Still love my Sonata, which is built with pride in Alabama. Great on fuel, considering the fact that it has six under the hood. The Detroilet defenders (or, more accurately, defenders of the piss poor management of the big three) can stuff it.
So that's you tearin' up 17...?

Owned a 1985 Honda Civic CRX till 1995 then my current 1995 Honda Del Sol........ Getting some rust now but still runs like a champ.
