Long distance in a SR

If you want a reliable gas saving beater, dare I say it, get a civic. But the 240 should be okay.

lol, i was about to suggest a honda. a few ppl have them in my family, and really never had any huge problems with them. (half of them are high milage)

Then again, i have the tendency to worry a little too much, the whole "what if" thing. I know a decent amount of parts on the sr can be cross referenced with other US cars, but i'd hate to break down with a part i'd normally have to order and wait a few days to get. (keep in mind this is the northeast cali boys, it takes a little longer to get good parts, lol)
