Yeah, you need something very reliable and easy to drive, Honda would certainly fill that bill.

Al Stephenson (username Ned Stevens?) has his ex-Bildon GTI up for sale too - that's not only reliable and easy to drive, it's fast - is up here at Waterford. You just hafta like Orange. Then again, maybe that's a prerequesite for ITB Hondas too.

Might be a bit more coin than a Honda though...

I do suspect you'd be better off with FWD for now, though, given your experience...

Best of luck buying and selling!
