Reality Check.  My 1984 Honda Civic.  Great mileage.  Fun to Drive.

Seats - Crap - absolute lawn furniture
Carburettor (sic) Complete rebuild at 90,000 miles
Body: major cancer at 130,000 miles (Hatch, doors, A-pillars !)

I get much better service ought of my '85 Saab SPG and the now-departed '87 900s
(sold with 235,000 miles).  Never left me standing. comfortable.  didn't rust until
the bitter end. plus I could move a full sized oven in 'em with the hatch down.
Plus they looked great.
