[s-cars] POLE: wonderful dilema, S4 or Ultrasport?

[David Kase]

Yep, I'm on board with Kent here.  I am lucky in that my wife loves her 
Ody (the "in" term for a Honda Odyssey).

I get to have the less practical B5 S4, she drives the hauler.  This is 
handy when I need it to haul lumber or take the ATV's somewhere (on a 
trailer, my son's CRF50 fits nicely in the back of the van with all 
seats up).

I drove the Ody from PA to Disney twice and it was great.  Plenty of 
room for people and luggage.  I put a Sony dvd player in it and we are set.

Hell, I part of the reason that I am giving up my beloved e//S2 is 
because it is far too impractical of a car.  When I get the van, my wife 
gets my car.  Try putting your wife in a non-a/c, Koni shocked, peaky 
turbo'd Coupe in August.  I think you get my drift...
