Toyota and Honda builds good, reliable transportation. I just
wish
they weren't so boring to drive.

The V6 Honda Accord develops about 290 hp and does 0 to 60 in a bit
over 6 seconds. Nothing boring about that.

Engine efficiencies have come a long way. The Canyon I bought
has a V6
rated at 308 hp. It has an 8 speed transmission that I really
like a
lot. I rarely accelerate hard but have tried it a couple of
times for
kicks. Shifts are quick and positive and the little truck can scoot
right along.

What are you averaging for MPGs? If I drive "rationally," I'm getting
about 23-25 MPG in suburban areas with light traffic and a few
stoplights, and 27-29 MPG on the Interstates if I stay at my typical
60-65 mph. Six-speed manual tranny. Drove wife's Camry 4-cylinder
auto
up to Bowie earlier this week, about 30 miles, on U.S. 301, and
averaged
37 MPG for light traffic, but plenty of traffic lights, driving. That
sort of MPG will put a smile on my face with a nice-sized four-door
sedan.

If you drive 60 to 65 on the interstates you should be arrested for
obstructing traffic. Here in FL 80 to 85 is more like it. Even in
nanny states like NY people are now doing 70 to 75.

I drive at the posted limit or usually a few mph below it, if it is 70.

I am glad you stay in maryland

I'll be in Florida in December and in March or April.

Thanks for the warning.
