Dean'smeanmachine - I would drive the cars you mentions. I wasn't knocking classics just pointing out options.

However I had a Vega with a v8. Gas mileage was no where near the honda. More iron more weight. Had a pinto for awhile. Nobody tailgated me. He he. And my 53 split window bug had a 2275. No real gas savings there but I recommend bugs for learning on because of their light weight and unique driving characteristics.

Of course there's not much that compares to the grunt of a BBC.
