nice car, but lay off the rio man i drive an RXV, aint nothing wrong with that car at all:P i have taken my buddy in his pickup with a 350 up to 80 before the HP difference killed me lol AND it will beat or at least keep up with most civics with easy... hey the way i see it, any car thatll do 185km with the engine displacement of a double gulp at sev, is an ok car, not to mention ur new toy will probly cost u triple in gas oh them prices be a risin....

good find tho, i was at an auction couple weeks ago saw a sweet old car, suicide doors, 8track player the works... interior needed some work... i didnt stick around to see what it went for.. i TOTALLY woulda pick that up if i had the cash

i'd lay off the rio but mine really is a lemon.. soo many problems with it. within the first 20000km i had a wheel bearing go. fuel pump went, stock tint started chipping off the back window. within the first 40 i was replacing suspension bushings. 60 i had to replace my rotors, and calipers (calipers where seized causing my rotors to warp). car started stalling instantly after startup. had some sort of computer problem.. its an automatic (yes i know this isn't the cars fault but i prefer standard and the standards have a little less problems in terms of the transmissions.) my wheelnut that holds the cv joint in place undid itself while i was driving and the cv joint was just about totally out of the rotor when i finallyh pulled over and took off the tire to see what the problem was (which was about 20 minutes after the screeching noise happened). my exhaust has a rattle in it from something. probably a rusted heat sheild. and daytime running light unit had to be replaced because it was faulty... this has been the most expensive cheap car i've ever owned.. and all of the kms on my car are highway driven.. i've done all the recommended maintenance on time. and as of earlier this week my alternator is making an awful clicking sound, so i think its going to kick the bucket soon. anyways sorrry bout the rant peace.
