Like others on this forum, I recently replaced my 2005 BMW 330i with a 2006 HCH. Don't get me wrong, the BMW is a sweet ride, but I just couldn't justify the cost/gas of keeping the BMW on the road especially with the amount of driving I do. The Civic and the 330i are pretty much incomparable except that they both have four wheels. And, that's not to say the BMW is necessarily better. I love the Civic and don't regret the "downgrade" at all. Plus, driving with a clear(er) conscience is a great thing.

Thanks to everyone on this forum...the info was very helpful as I did my research.
