It seems pretty easy to wade through, when you see who started the topic, you should know whether or not to open it

This is really wierd. I think you need to understand that most of the people you're talking about are very young, probably still in highschool, and don't have a clue about the 7. they have most likely seen somebody with one and thought it was a really cool car, so they had daddy buy them one. Please don't get mad if you're one of these people. I'm not saying that this is a bad thing. What I'm trying to say is that you need to educate yourselves more about cars in general. There are better things out there other than the 7. Rob I think these guys just really like what the 7 has to offer. It's good looking, mostly inexpensive(exception to the 3rd gen), has alot of mods available, and puts out good power for having such a small engine. Being an owner of a TII and haven worked on few I knoew that the TII isn't the most reliable car out there. I think that if I wanted reliability I would have stuck with my 00 S-10 Extreme. What we all need to understand is that when the 7 was being sold brand new when people didn't know how to take care of it. Now that most people do know how to take care of it, it's too late. The damage has already been done. You've also got to keep in mind that these are used vehicles that we are buying. There are going to be things that need to be replaced/repaired and you get what you pay for. I'm sorry that you aren't pleased with your TII. I happen to love mine. I'm sure that there are other people on here that feel the same as you and that feel the same as me. I wish I could change your mind, but I don't think that will happen. I really hope you get a car you like/love.

I dont have a TII, I dont know what prompted this post, maybe the fact that some people on here cant respect another cars performance, they think that the world is missing out by not having a rotory. I respect speed of all types, domestic, and yes, Hondas. **** it, if someone is going fast, good for them. Its the beaters out there giving Honda a bad name, there are plenty of Hondas out there going fast, Toyotas, Mitsuibishi, but the MOST power and torque comes from domestic. Look what powers top-fuel funny cars and top fuel dragsters, 4000hp big blocks, how can one not droooool over a 4 second ride? Example: my friend has a 9 second Mustang, small block, ALL MOTOR, not even fuel injected, no NOS, he drives it on the street, its been running and drivable for the 2 years he has had it compleated, but people on here trash the cars like they are junk? Just wish some people werent so narrow minded thats all, I have had all types of cars, this happens to be the longest I have had a car, probably because I just dont care enough about it to do something with it. For the last 2 years I have been thinking of my next project, and I still dont know what it will be.

I think its the whole "get a TII" answer I dont get, why not tell the guy to get a Porshe, or get a motorcycle, we KNOW that a TII is faster and has much more potential dont we?

By the time you pay off the debt you have, a ZO6 might be a classic
