Let me tell you about slow! I owned, and drove (the two are not necessarily
connected), a Honda Coupe for 5 (count them: 1 2 3 4 5) years! The Honda
Coupes only came out in 1972 in the USofA. It had a 600 cc, air cooled,
transverse mounted, engine. It was the original four-in-the-firewall model.
The only two add-on options were: lighter and AM radio. I bought the stripped
down version. Although the speedometer was labeled to 85, that was wishful
thinking. Top speed: 65 with the wind, downhill, at 0 gravity. It did zero to
60 in 2.5 hours. But it did get 40 mpg in town and 50 mpg on the road. It had
room for 4 as long as the two in the back didn't have legs or arms. Cute little
car. They just don't make them like that anymore...thank goodness!
