Well, I don't know about that, but my 1998 is a Toyota/Corolla LE with the 227,000 miles and it's still going. The only thing we ever had to change was the power steering pump.I bought it with 11,800 miles on it.It has been excellent.This is a Honda Civic LX. I would have got another Toyota but this seems roomier in the back.And believe it or not, the trunk size will fool you,just looking at the outside body it looks like it would be small, but it's not. Avery's wheelchair comes apart, so it should fit in nicely and with more inside room, it will help to get her in. Wish me lots of good mileage and I still love my old Toyota,it's like an old friend.haha

Wanted to show you the night time panel. It's so pretty all lit up. It has blue lights that turn to green,when you are getting the best mileage out of your fuel.

Thank you ! I really don't want to retire/sell my old car, I still think I could get another 100,000 miles out of her. My sister lives 2 states away, and b/c of the high mileage my husband doesn't want to make a long trip, so here's why the new one. Congratulations on yours too and Merry Christmas-T

I love the color. Happy driving. Just the smell of a new car is exciting.

I was so unsure of the color but if I had got another white, I told him I wouldn't FEEL like it was new,since my last 2 were white. I like the new car smell too (hubby doesn't, but what does he know,haha)

it's a beautiful car and color. This color is so easy, it does not look dirty as soon as a white or dark colored car.I know we have such a color too. Love it. So enjoy driving in it, many happy miles :)

SHEESH! And to think I was thrilled with my new 12 cubic foot upright freezer and a new Wi-Fi sound system for my car. Some people have all the luck. LOLOLOLOL!!!!!

Seriously though..... Goodonyer Toogie, couldn't happen to a nicer person!!! And I love your choice of car.

I was looking at buying a new Honda Civic Hatch but I love my 2003 Hyundai Elantra Hatch and it only has 90,000 kms on it so I decided I would just get a modern sound system because Australia has new laws which say you can't even have a mobile phone visible in your car, unless it is connected to a Wi-Fi sound system, or you WILL be fined.

Anyway, I am really happy for you and I hope you have as many happy years of trouble free motoring as you did with your Toyota.
Hugs and very best wishes, Meg

Meganne, you say the sweetest things.Well, we knew we would have to get a new one, eventually, just didn't know I'd get it for Christmas.Funny thing, tho. You know those black friday sales? Well, after Thanksgiving dinner, my son-in-law says,'Gram, whatcha gettin' PaPa for Christmas?' I said' Well, I think I'll get him a new big screen television. That excited my S-I-L.So...my S-i-L and daughter go Blk Fri shopping, he gets in line for a 60"tv and calls me.He said they only have 13 at the Blk Fri price, he's #11 in line, so he's gauranteed a tv, do I want to run over and pay for it? So my husband actually got his tv,b/4 I got the car, cause he had to go in the truck to pick it up.Everyone says I had that planned all along, about sweeting him up so he'd buy me something nice too,haha Now tell me Meg, you don't believe that do you? LOL LOL... Honest

PS.. our children don't know WHAT to think of us,anymore. We are the people that no ones knows their present, until Christmas, everything is always a big surprise,secret,hush-hush.We always said, it's not Christmas if you already know.Now look at us !-L

Thank you,Lenamae, I'm loving it more and more.My kids think I'm crazy, cause I want to keep drving the 1998.They say, they'd never drive it, if they had a new one. I told them, it's almost like we're old friends, I'd cry if I had to get rid of it,h

I love this color. I bought a '98 Camry that was this color even though I wanted "champagne gold" as I called it...but in the end this was great. Doesn't show the dirt!!! If I ever get to choose a new car....this will be the color again.

It is a pretty color and you wonder how they come up with those names for car colors. If I were you I'd leave it in the garage for the winter if you have ice and snow where you live.

No snow,sometimes ice. I didn't even drive it today, went in my old car to work
