Oct 31 to Sun. Nov 4 so it might be a good way to check out a whole bunch of cars at once. I know you can't drive them, but you can at least sit in them and get a feel for what they'd be like.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10807713173943934760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928710026331957513.post-20371906683699420422007-10-28T17:19:00.000-07:002007-10-28T17:19:00.000-07:00I went and test drove an Audi (A3 & A4), Acura (TL...I went and test drove an Audi (A3 & A4), Acura (TLS), and a BMW (535xi) today... Haven't checked out the Saturns yet, though I just opened up the website.<BR/><BR/>I definitely hear you on the height thing. I'm sure its not as bad at 5'4" (my height), but there are still some uncomfortable cars out there. (it was a very big problem in selecting a motorcycle to try, after all bikes that are too tall are simply unridable rather than uncomfortable :(.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05909943463326709853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928710026331957513.post-71761972626016839242007-10-28T11:34:00.000-07:002007-10-28T11:34:00.000-07:00First: I'm sorry to hear about Kiwi. Condolences....First: I'm sorry to hear about Kiwi. Condolences.<BR/><BR/>If you really want a Saturn, check out SaturnFans.com. Those people are crazy about their Saturns.<BR/><BR/>I have a Saturn (a '99 SL1) and it's just now starting to have some minorish problems (mostly just maintenance stuff I should have checked earlier). They're good cars and can get some wicked gas mileage. I've gotten 48 MPG on lonely New Mexico roads, but regularly get around 35 highway and 26 city. I spend at least 2 hours driving around every day for my job so I like to keep track.<BR/><BR/>I might've enjoyed the creature comforts of a Honda Civic more for a similar price but Saturns were the only cars that were sized for my 5' frame-- no leaning over for the a/c controls!<BR/><BR/>Also, about half the people on my mush have Saturns. I don't know if that demographics info helps your decision. :-PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928710026331957513.post-18671609070580735672007-10-28T09:43:00.000-07:002007-10-28T09:43:00.000-07:00Unfortunately the RSX is out of production (2005 o...Unfortunately the RSX is out of production (2005 or 2006 was the last model year). Apparently it's too similar to the new Civic S... I prefer the RSX though, because it has leather and whatnot.<BR/><BR/>It is definitely priced well below what you would expect for an Acura though, I only spent $20k for a 2002 model in 2003.Joe Kullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805638175973636523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928710026331957513.post-78950281185557564422007-10-28T09:40:00.000-07:002007-10-28T09:40:00.000-07:00No, no reason.

I should really try out an Acura, especially since I liked what I saw when I was helping Mike shop for a car.<BR/><BR/>Really, I woke up yesterday wanting to test drive a BMW, so I did. I have a bike by them, so I thought I might like their car.<BR/><BR/>But, I have nothing against japanese cars :)Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05909943463326709853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928710026331957513.post-81531399540019644562007-10-28T09:36:00.000-07:002007-10-28T09:36:00.000-07:00I've quite enjoyed my Acura RSX.

It's a hatchback so a little smaller than the BMW 3-series, but it's reliable (Honda luxury brand), you can probably find a used one for $15-20k.<BR/><BR/>It seems like you're focussed on non-Japanese cars though... any particular reason for that?Joe Kullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805638175973636523noreply@blogger.com
