After spending 3 days driving a car that drifts like a cloud (Toyota Yaris), I'm happy to say that my 192k Civic is chug chugging me to and fro once more. It feels good to actually drive a car that feels like it has an engine in it, than a hunk of metal/plastic designed for the senior citizen in mind. These new cars (post 2005 I'd say) are just too damn smooth. Being as computer based as they are, I have little faith of purchasing a newer vehicle and clocking 200k miles on one without trimester cyclic repairs.
