    My son was thrilled to take pictures of the 99999th mile and 100000th mile of our Honda Civic while I was driving on I-75 between Sarasota,FL and Tampa,FL during the recent 10day long trip

    What a nice, reliable car!

    Comparison with any vehicle on Indian roads (i.e. 2003 or before) is unfair but I need to just mention one fact as I recall the great record of this car. The first set of tyres - factory fit ones - never had a single flat incident! And I changed them at 68K miles at the insistence of a relative who was unhappy about the couple of small bulge-like apperances. Otherwise, it was still going fine. That is 100K plus kilometers without any issues.

    OTOH, the indica tyres were almost shredded around just 25000 kilometers with trouble on almost every long trip

    Not just that, the wheel rims get bent inwards around just 250 kms maybe!

    Not all, X5 is good, but their M3 is pathetic, if you want serious performance car at reasonable price, well not for every one , go for these

    Nissan 350 GTR (3.5 litre twin turbo engine) $88,000

    Or the more power full Honda NSX Type -R (3 litre VTECH engine)

    $150,000

    Yes and no!

    Italian jobla vara car Austin Mini thAn, BUT it was the ORIGINAL old-shape mini (introduced in 1959), like this:

    http://robson.m3rlin.org/cars/wp-con...071-1-copy.jpg

    Mr. Bean also drives a similar car, but yellow in colour.

    Whereas the one Raikonnen posted is the NEW-SHAPE mini (made after year 2000)

    World of difference between the two, even though the base model was the same!

    IMHO, the original/old one is the better of the 2. Intha puthu mini-ya pArtha looks like a mini fed on steroids and heated to melting point!

    Honda S200...Vs M3...Sema komedy sir neenga...Have you experienced the thrill of driving an M3...have you experienced the M3 handling...Probably not.

    I have driven Porshe Boxster (Not boxtser). I have driven my friends Boxster Spyder...

    IMHO M3 Rocks to the core. Opinions differ.
