Most automatic trannys are problematic.
Maybe, but all other cars I have owned were fine...plus, the TL's have severe problems with there trannys...

Ah, Man!! Swedish cars just ain't what they used to be. I used to LOVE my Volvo's and Saab's, but since GM and Ford (or is that Frod) took over... their whole philosophy seems to have changed, and not for the better, imo.
Saab's have lousy reliability, and are extremely expensive to repair, from what I've been reading... not that I go out of my way any more. Basically, Igave up on the Swedes.

Either the Civic, or the Pontiac Vibe (a Toyota with cooler styling than the Matrix).

I wasn't thrilledwith the Civic's unusual dashboard gauge configuration, and re: theVibe,I wanteda four door with a trunk (not a covered back area).

I'm going to sound like a brat but my dad bought my car and his first choice was a honda civic special edition. this was back in 05. I hate hondas and kept refusing to even get in the car because i hated it so much. Everyone has a honda, im suprised its not the number 1 selling car brand in america yet. The guy was giving good numbers too but it was a honda. The only car i had in mind was my beautiful mazda 3. Since i saw the first commercial in 04 i fell in love with it.So no other car caught my eye.

'Sounds like a love story.

A long time ago I had a similar experience: My mother and this salesman were trying to get me into a Pinto and then a Vega. I knew they were both POS's and refused to even drive them, as you did.
I had my eye on a Datsun pick-up. I bought the truck and it turned out to be a pretty cool little vehicle. Even made some money using it as a sample pick-up vehicle for a lab I worked for a little later on. By that time it had good tunes and a power antenna. Whoa! Stylin'!!!!
