One of the things that got me into a Honda in the first place was my last car, a 2002 Civic SI. I had 10k to spend, and in the running was the SI with 58k miles, and a 2004 cavalier with 12k miles.

I took both makes and models and flipped the search lowest price to highest price. The average civic at the low end of the market was 4k at 220k miles. While the lowest priced cavalier was 2k at 105k miles. The F motors rev much higher than the 6.8k on the Civic, but I know from the last one, it will happily rev for years.

Even in the snow and ice, I still drive Stewie. I have a beater, but it's more for when I need four seats or a larger trunk. The connected feel you get from the car is what puts me behind the wheel even on less than optimum conditions.
