BTW, what's up with everyone pulling the "For a $30K car..." crap? Does everyone realize that $30K nowadays is cheap for a car? Hell...a fully-loaded Civic will come damn near $30K. You're hard pressed to find something halfway-decent besides a stripped economy-car under $30K. The whole "I expect more out of a $30K car" crap is laughable.

I guess everyone wants wine on a beer budget.
