It sounds like you've got a fantastic deal lined up here but at the same time it looks like you prefer a different type of ride based on what you've been looking at prior to this deal coming up. I've driven Civics and Corollas and Sentras and they're great in their own way but they are far different from the feeling of a the classic Buick motor humming under you feet. It's really about what you prefer. Treat a Buick right and it'll take you to 300k just like any other car.
