Whats your favorite/most hated thing about driving an old car?
Hated: Rattles
Favorite: No Electronic power steering
MRT
37.5 MPG, AC on, cruising at 80.
30.0 MPG, AC on, aggressively driving around 90.
27.5 MPG, no AC, cruising at 90 with occasional gridlock. 40 degrees Fahrenheit
What difference does it make if power steering is belt-driven or electric?
Electric is the interface. If you go drive a new accord or BMW you'll feel what I'm talking about. The new cars feel like butter, you can't "feel" the road like you can in our cars.

hate:everything is worn out.. ie. bushings,motor mounts, hoses ect... there fore shit rattles. like the windows when they are down.. lacks safety features but i can manage.
Love-cheap to have, easy to work with, and if it gets totaled it's not a huge deal.
are you sure its not just because of the new suspension? I had a new Accord. The power steering was belt driven
Yep. I had an 08, and I currently have an 07 CRV. The steering feels like butter. I don't like the butter feeling.
