It is too small I drove it and can't handle the 8000 elevation change under load safely. Are you so anti carbon burn you recommend I ignore safety?

We all like different things.
Yeah, and if I press the "reset" button, not only MPG resets but so does the trip meter. So no cheating like someone claims.

Your in the US now where we not you nor DC decide what we need
Do I really need to explain how California is superior again? My smallest V8 is in my F150, and biggest in my Jeep. Is there any other size? See John, here in the real West we have mountains, not hills! Isn't this little hondapuke made in Texas due to cheap labor anyway?

Well, on anything but a paved or very improved road a Civic will be useless, so that's one reason.

Besides needs, people have wants as well; life is more than living a utilitarian existence.

When it comes to a car purchase, people start with a budget and needs, then go from their; if they can afford wants, they will get their wants, no different than any other area in life.
