Its interesting that you compared it to a BMW and Volvo!! Can the Forte go toe to toe with European makes? Hmmm!! Peter Schreyer would be pleased. I've noticed the inner door portal surrounding is all glossy paint. Audi style!

Bobbychin which service centre is this?

Bobby if you didn't ask for the injector cleaner and Rain-X then why get billed for it? Better report to 1-800-888-542 immediately.

Nice in white! Get the Inglorious Basterds soundtrack and play track 11: Cat People (Putting Out The Fire) by David Bowie LOUD!

There are 8000 R&D engineers in Namyang alone. They have proving grounds in the Mojave Desert, USA and some R&D centres in Germany and even Japan.

Even the old Mini is a fully independent rear but its cornering was based on its small size and low ground clearance. It didn't even have a rear anti-roll bar and had no springs just rubber donuts.

Not sure about the current Civic but the 7th Gen I drove a lot and rear passenger discomfort was a big problem. Worse if you fitted stiffer springs. They added a slightly sportier spring setup later and finally a rear anti-roll bar towards the end of the 7th Gen life cycle.

F1 driving in a residential area? Your salesman needs a knock on the head and some time behind bars. Drive safe. It's all fun until someone dies.
