deathpunk dan, are you really comparing an '86 Honda CRX to a BMW? Those two cars are worlds away.

My second car was an '86 CRX, I have owned an '86 911 for a few years (loved it to much to let it sit out at night in anything other than a garage, and I don't own a house yet...), and I currently own an '00 E46 328Ci. Although the '86 CRX was good in the turns it had no power unless it was going down (1.2 lr engine?) hill, also it was down right scary in weather as it was so light. The CRX had little acceleration, granted once at speed it did alright but the tires were so small and prob not designed to be pushed to the limit. The Porsche 911 was the most fun I have ever had driving, it was such a great car. However my current BMW comes in a pretty close second to the '86 911 and I like it more than the Boxster. The steering on the BMW is extremely nimble and it does great in the turns. The engine in the BMW also has pretty good acceleration even up hills. All and all for a commuter type car (throught traffic) I think the BMW is a great car. I'm not sure who in there right mind would want to sit in Boston traffic in an '86 911. I have done it and it was nuts the car is not comfortable at all in traffic.
