drmmrboy - I'm glad you are happy with your car - it sounds like you got a good deal - what color is it? It's great now that, with Carfax and all, people can buy used cars and know what they're getting. And, the coupes are definitely cool if you don't have to put kids and/or dogs in the back seat (not that my dog will go in my car.) But whether or not something is "better" is mostly a matter of opinion, you do get to a point in life where you just want to be the "original owner" - get that new car smell, watch the odometer turn over to 100, and all that. Also, the DX is not nearly as stripped as it was even one year ago. I do have power windows and AC, and the same engine as all the other 4 cylinders, and since the 2 speakers I have are going to be replaced ASAP anyway, missing the back 2 doesn't bother me a bit. (By the way - sorry this is so long, but - before I bought my car I checked on the Certified Honda website to see what the resale value would be - and I found 2 different DXs (2002) in New England that were over a year old, with more than 12,000 miles on them and no added options, that were selling used for more than I was paying for my car new. So, I didn't think it was a "dumb" purchase!)
I think the fact that there is a little diversity here - people of different opinions, ages, lifestyles, etc. on this forum make it a really interesting board to read.
