I really can't help but ask:
If you guys had only 2 choices to pick, which would you choose?

a 4th or 5th gen Max auto or a 5-speed Civic?

Not that I'm implying I'm getting a civic, but its one of those questions I'd like to put everyone "on the spot" at.

Please don't say, I'd rather walk, or I'll ride a bike, or use my skateboard!

 

uhm.. unless it's this http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?threadid=82887 civic, I'd take the maxima, either a 99-SE-L or a 2k2/3 would be fine heh.

 

ewwwwwwwwwwww......I'd never in my life think of driving a friggin Honda!

it all depends what you are looking for in the car...the comparison is too broad.

 

i myself am not too big a fan of honda, but even if u asked a different question, but even if i did, i would most likely take the maxima anyways. if you are a big time honda hater, change the question to corolla 5spd vs maxima......i'd still take the maxima =]
