    Why? Not like we live in California.
    Might get moved to BC or who knows. Plus I hate the catless smell

    They did, but never know what the future holds. I think high flow pre cats would suffice.

    Exactly 200,000 kms on it. One owner car. 60 year old white collar god fearing/maintenance happy. Left his Bon Jovi and Christian hard rock on the HDR All services up to date, newer struts, timing belt, plugs etc etc all done. Near mint cosmetically for 5 years old. No dents or dings. Minor clear coat scratches like any black car. Man does this thing shift nice. Like a rifle bolt indeed. Shifts nicer than my Camaro that's for sure.

    Thanks. Kept the accord for over 2 years. Tired of FWD. I expect to keep this at least 3-4 years. Record is 3 years with my 98 Camaro.

    Yeah, the last FWD car I owned was a 3.2CL Type-S 6mt. It was great for a FWD, LSD and stuff, but I still won't own another one. Only exception would be a new CTR or if I could find a nice EP3 or Fiesta ST for a beater.

    Only car I kept for longer than 2 years was my first car which I got in HS and lasted me til my 3rd year uni.

    I can't confirm that the clutch has been replaced although based on driving standards for 15+ years it feels quite fresh. Zero chatter. Grabs nice and low. Former owner putted around on the highway most of the time from what I can tell.

    I liked it in my 09 civic si. But that car had 2nd gear synchro grind so I got rid of it. Fwd is fine in small high rpm cars such as the fiesta you've mentioned.

    The Acura EL I'm currently rocking is fine, but I've basically driven Subarus on and off the past decade. Everything is better with awd, even shitty awd.

    FWIW if it's like my CL, it has a self adjusting clutch so the grab point will always feel the same until the day it's shot. If it's all hwy miles, then I'm sure it's got a ton of life left.

    Get the car moving in 1st, then shift it to 5th and see if it slips. It's a bit of a redneck way to check the clutch.

    No slip. So what is the SH AWD culture? flat brims, vaping or golf with work buddies and high fives with a Molson Canadian in hand?

    Well, since it’s rdx, mdx, tlx and some older Honda’s, it’s dark bags under eyes because the 90s kids fanbois grew up and bought these, and all have super young kids.

    Sounds like you need a new GF.

    Only time I've been asked to slow down is when I made my wife car sick doing some 'spirited' driving on Westside Road (near Kelowna).

    I have good memories of HWY 3 going east to Christina Lake on a 6MT. That was a blast.

    Also, cruising around Osoyoos' back country and stop for some wine tasting.
