And BTW, we all know the best hot hatch of the moment is the Clio :roll:

TT mate, cant you see we got a ricer honda boy on board the ship? Let him vent, let him vent.

But that's all :bah:

For a higher price I might add. Better built quality is relative as well. Newer Mercedes' suffer from lacking fit and finish.

Honda most definately is more reliable, numerous reports have shown that.

However, it's comparing apples and oranges.

For the money, investing in a Honda is the best financial decision since they hold value better than the other two. If you want to be logicial the Honda is the best bet since it's the most simple of the choices, and simplicity means less is going to go wrong. If anyone is smart, you'de buy a cheap civic and use the rest of the money to save up for a sports car. But for the sake of having the best of everything, i'de take an Audi over them all

I think is not an excellent car but however is a great car, is not the best technology but works, but, the front wheel drive vs. the real wheel drive make a big difference, if you don't take care about.......

front wheel drive is crapola! hence CIVIC sux. Cant compare to a rwd car.

OK I need to get in on this...
firstly I used to hate Honda's because of all the ricers in the world but after working for Acura I have given them a chance and they are great in their own right I see cars every day with 200-300K miles on them that run like the day it was made. Honda is a quality product and aren't exactly compareable to BMW or Mercedes but for the price you can't beat it and the average driver never really can tell the difference between the FWD and RWD cars but atleast in our RL's you can kick the ass end out with ease when ALL aids are turned off.
