Re: Carfax, Buying Used, & Craigslist.org

Archival point: The 1990 Civic hatchback compared to a 91 
Civic LX Sedan (my car) is lighter by around 150 lbs, and is 
10-inches shorter. Ten inches is not small potatoes to me. 
Can't find the height from the ground for the hatchback, but 
it has seemed lower on the three or so hatches I have looked 
at. Interior dimensions on the hatchback are mostly a bit 
smaller than the sedan. I think the lack of power steering 
on the hatch means one feels the road more. It is not as 
responsive in feel.

I have also driven a few used sedans besides my own and 
consistently felt much better in them compared to the 
hatches.

No more, no less, just my opinion.
