Sometimes when I am bored, I read online reviews. Heh, I have no life.
Anyways, I can across this gem

Quote:

150HP?? Saturn?? Are you frickin crazy? -- I do drive crazy, i got my saturn for $2900 with 84000 miles on it, the same day i was about to buy a 93 Mazda MX-6 , i would have bought it if i hadn't found an oil leak, that was a kick between the legs, i was really anxious on getting it. While browsing through the paper i saw the saturn, fully loaded, didn't really excite me, when i saw it , it did spark my attention a little, when i drove it, the 125HP 5speed threw me back in my seat. Then i saw the potential for a exhilirating car. I bought it and drove it home, the same night i ordered a SPS Cold Air Intake and Air Filter for $200 and that boost my horsepower to 150HP out of a 1.9litre V4 , now i wish it was an inline 4. WELL ENOUGH ABOUT HOW I GOT IT and more on how it handles. Power Windows,Locks,Moonroof,Steering. Fully loaded, every option available this car has except Automatic transmission, but only girls and mama's boys drive auto. I can not stand automatic it is too boring to drive and you don't get as much power. There are no complaints except that my headlight burned out. Leather is nice but the back seat there is hardly any room for any boom boom. I reccomend you buy this car and if you do, remember to get stick and not auto.

Other gems I came across was a lady that said her Camry got great oil consumption, she has had it 7,000miles and still hasn't had to change it!

One guy said his dash sucked becuase he put Armor All on it every week and it cracked his dash.

I only came across this because I almost bought a 96 Saturn SC2. Surprisingly similar to my S13, really. The s13 is a hatch and RWD, but still...

There are no words that I can use in response. No words at all. I especially love the part about the 1.9L V4 engine.

HAHAHAHAHA(hack,hack,hack)haha

did you guys happen to see his great review of the CRX?

The Honda CRX. Just by the name "CRX" you can picture something sporty; at least i could. This little car gets stares everywhere you go. In my opinion this is Honda's best looking car ever. Only 2200lbs and the 108 HP 1.6 SOHC engine. Japan got the 1.6 DOHC - 135HP. The DOHC would have been much nicer than the 1.6 sohc. Handling of this car is superb, take hard turns and you won't hear any complaints. Acceleration was pretty good, since the engine doesn't have much weight to pull, it accelerates rather quickly. I didn't want to dump much money into performance parts so i just got an intake and an exhaust. If you plan on racing it , expect mid 16s in the 1/4. To make this car insanely fast drop in about $1000 for a b16 (1.6 DOHC VTEC 160HP
