OK, it was a bit late (10 minutes ago), but I just got back from a quick spin
"around the neighborhood" in the Herald. It's current 33 degrees F here in
the Albany, NY, area, and I wasn't sure how easily the Herald would start
without the choke, but it did.
Four miles in the Herald, after two solid months in the Civic, was great!
Nothing against the Honda, but front-wheel drive and snow tires just doesn't
make
for the same kind of instantly responsive steering that the Herald has. ;-)
Come on, SPRING! Meanwhile, Happy New Year to all!
