Tell me, O' net.landers:

I wish to buy a car.

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.  Please mail any comments to me:
