Re: S80 Reliability/Quality? S80 2002

posted by  someone claiming to be Artic Steve on  Tue Dec 11 11:56 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I've got a 2001 Acura 1.7 El and it is a great (Honda), but if safety is your concern then the Japenese units don't come anywhere near the Swedes. Just examine the head restraints and the seat construction closely.

Better "value" in the Acura, but if you've got the cash for a S80 turbo then how worried can you be over "value"? Turbos need respectful drivers as in use of Mobil 1 regularly and a proper warming up and cooling down before shut off.

Live a little, get the 80 and in the event of a crash, LIVE. Exact reason I got the wife a USED s70. She sucks at driving and she needs all the protection she can get. My son & I drive the sh*t out of the Acura and it loves it.
