OK
Too many questions. Quick one - gas is 1 euro per liter here (more or less) or a 1.3 $ per liter. Don't ask me how much liters are in the US gallon.
Now - as I said Honda is the only choice - several reasons but major - I love Honda.
Custom taxes - yes here are rather high taxes for US imported cars. Higher than Japan ones - as th European Union has an agreement with Japan which it doesn't have with the US. Accord - Marek - is made in Japan. Civic is made in the UK.
They don't make Honda in Poland. We have Fiat (out of question) and Daewoo produced here (even more out of question).
Marek asked how fords are fixed - ford is an established company here selling cars so spare parts even for models not produced in Europe are easier to get. As well as Opel - they are made in Germany.
Otter - I know that Honda's last for ever but simply civic is too small even for 2 +gear+the dog. And we get guarantee for 3 years. For this time I have a full support of the car dealer as well as a lot of things done for free. I'm lost with cars (I know where to put gas, how to check the level of oil, and change the weel - that's all) so I want to have a car that in any case is serviced by the dealer and i don't have to worry or listen to the engine whether it's working properly or something is breaking down. This is why I prefer new cars....
Mempilot - yes we are talking about 2 doubles and stages for 2 persons. But my friends lately ( I couldn't go) went for a week to Baltic Sea - wreck diving - so they had 5 doubles plus 8 stages for 3 persons....
That needs a truck!!!!!
And this car has to serve both purposes - city car and diving trips - sometimes long ones (as 1500 kilometer to Croatia).
I talked to Honda dealer and he agreed that i can take my gear and check both cars to see how much can be packed. He also told me that I have to remember about the weight - if I put more that 150 kilo on the back of accord there may be some problems (we called it in Polish that accord bottom will sit on the road).
So Saturday I'm taking a friend of mine and our gear and we will try.
I'll let you know.
Anyway thanks guys although I still don't know which one I should get (((
