Any and every fool who've thought their Honda to outperform my Bimmer has been strongly reminded WHY Bimmers cost three to four times more than a Honda.

There is NO comparison in handling between a Honda and even a TEN or FIFTEEN year old Bimmer! BMW may have a few quirks, like higher maint. and lower MPGs, but it is well worth the thrill of watching Jap cars dissapear behind you, especially on windy, twisted roads.

I'd rather push a BMW than pull up in a Honda.

The Si VTEC is quick. So what? It is also too light, cramped as heck, and, oh yeah, has an H on the hood. I'll put a 328i up against ANY Vtec Honda made. Do not even get me started on an M635! As far as handling, I REFUSE to drive a front wheel drive vehicle, from both a safety, and "feel" standpoint. Try cornering AND accelerating an FWD car on a backwoods road. No fun. I try not to even entertain these rice-addicts' notions that Honda has ever made anything more than Point A-to-B vehicles.

It's like saying that a CBR 900 is nicer than a BMW 1200. Faster, perhaps, but nicer? C'mon folks, wake up! Just because you can't afford a BMW, don't try to say your rice mobiles are better!

Gut tag.
