Oh, you youngster.
I drove my parents' Barracuda, with the smallest V-8 that Chrysler had at the time, the 273 (I think), and it was still darn perky. I won't tell you how fast I went in it, but let's just say it was north of two digits, and it's a good argument for upping the driving age to 21 (except in my 40s and 50s, I might've gone faster).
But the first car I actually owned? 1974 Honda Civic. A revolutionary car for its time. No, it couldn't keep up with the muscle cars (except on snow and ice, and then I laughed at them). But that wasn't the point with that car.
And... a wee Honda Civic is light enough to push/jump-start by yourself when the battery goes flat.
And a Honda Civic parked one way outside the school is begging to be picked up by a bunch of bored teenagers and placed where it shouldn't be.

It was the second year Honda had their palindromic Civic. We bought it for $2,545 brand new, spending $100 extra for the hatchback model. It was a great car.

Youngster???
Been a while since I was called that. Even in my younger years, I never liked the aesthetics of American cars...too boxy and just not pleasing to my eye. I like the curves and smallness, the agility and quickness, the quick response of the Porsche and Mazda.
