Here's my story....My dad got me a 1990 Nissan California back in 1991 (high school)....had the clutch replaced twice, shocks (twice), alternator (3x), locks, windows, etc.....it was really a b*tch.....

Next car I drove was an automatic USDM Galant....had the transmission rebuilt twice.....starter repaired and replaced about 5 times....power windows and locks always acting up....

Year 1995, my dad bought me an ESi.....2 days later.....a jeepney passed too close and got my front fender and bumper....while it was being repaired, i was reading a car magazine (im not sure if is Road & Track, Car and Driver or Motor Trend) and read about an article that Honda cars are chick cars (CRX, Prelude, Civic, del Sol)...eversince i read that article - that impression stuck to my mind up to this day....
