I have been looking at the following cars and would appreciate any comments y'all have about them. (Preferably comments based on ACTUAL experience.) 1984 Automobiles: Honda Accord Hatchback - a really nice car, the best as far as driver comfort goes. Well designed. VW GTI - Pirelli Cinturato tires, 1.7l fuel injected motor, the car handles and moves. But the comforts are more spartan (dealer: "Just like those Germans"). Even more pricy than the Hondas. Ford EXP, Escort - not really in the same class as the above, but seem to be well made little autos. Dodge Omni GLH - new car, seems to be an Omni with a fuel injected engine, handling package, styling, etc. Anyone seen one? Subarus - not high on my list, but I have heard good things about them. Toyota Camry - a copy of the Honda Accord, but how faithful a copy? I can't even find one to see! Buick Skyhawk - down sized standard Detroit sporty fare. Well, that's all for now.
