F*** Honda and f*** the Civic! Toyota owns all. My sister-in-law has a 2000 Elantra...only seven years old and she's being forced to get another car cause the engine is about to die...I know Hyundai is and has improved but I'd still be skeptical of its reliability.
If you're paying for it, get what you want. If she says "it's a girls color" ask her why she ain't driving it...then do a snap snap and around the world...
Red is my favorite color. It's also a color of power. I first adopted it in 1985 when I won a pair of Rocket red Reeboks and a couple tickets to a home game from one of the local Houston radio stations, before that I think my favorite was blue, but those stupid shoes changed my perspective. The Rockets went on the the Finals that year with Ralph, Akeem and co. and it's been my favorite color ever since. Even a Rocket red accent wall in my bedroom. Now as far as a car, red is known to attract cops and in this climate I prefer something as light as possible to reflect the heat (no pun intended)
Please Wiki the term "Rosso Corsa" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosso_corsa Red is the most manly color you could possibly get for a car. End of topic Now some eyecandy for the children Enjoy!!!
