Oh thanks.

true statement although every1 got what they wanted new car with lower miles/older car with more class...and miles although i think the mileage part is somewhat insignificant cuz ones toyota and ones honda...i mean cmon

>

You kidding me? Toyo > Honda

You guys are harsh.

Not really, you should've known. I can commend you on newer and lower miles, but other than that...it's a Civic. Not even an Si, just a Civic. Everybody has one and it's known as an econobox and not much else.

Besides, you even went from a manual to an auto. :fail:

You got what you wanted, right?
And that makes YOU

Good for you
Honda makes great cars, enjoy!

Hey say what you will about Civics, but they're still rock solid damn good cars. IDK about it having more style, but hey, to each his own and I think it's awesome that you sold your car and got a car that you're really excited about!

Lol, give the guy a break! you have 7 posts in this thread hating on the honda. His civic looks pretty nice compare to the crap out there. Honda and Toyota's reliabilty is pretty much the same and well..Honda just makes more interesting cars than Toyota nowadays.

ya really toyota is kinda slacking in the usdm...i mean i gotta say a civic is a civic is a civic but its whatever and btw toyo = honda in reliability...hondas and toyo beat out the rest of the competition even foreign market...its all good

Congrats on the new car, or newer anyway.

anyway, you really had to have expected some flaming, you did post a honda on a site full of toyota owners, so what you think is "harsh" is probably just the love we still feel for our cars.

Good luck, BOTH honda and toyota have great reliability. You should have no worries for a long time to come.

But manual to auto was kinda a fail though...

yeah, i guess you're right. there are a gizillion ways to rice out a civic jk. whatever makes you happy man. dont listen to these guys. even though we have similiar mods, we stand out and we live far from one another lol so no one notices. me personally, i think those are the ugliest years of civic ever made. but again, it's what you like right? dont listen to these guys bashing. enjoy what you have bro

>

why would you want a manual on a grocery getter civic? lol jk

>

haha, lol, i was really trying hard not to flame the guy man! you spoiled it.

well once he is happy with his auto-shifting, grocery getting, civic that's all that counts.

I was only joking mate. The car looks fine to me, we don't get those kinda civics over here, so i don't really know what it's like. Our civics are ok, the type R's anyway It could be worse, you coulda bought an American car

Surely you didin't expect everyone on a Celica website to congratulate you on swapping your Celica for a Honda?

are you cereal?

nevermind

I'll say this - put the right motor in it and those are the fastest year civics - I believe they are the lightest right? Some rediculously low weight like a MKI MR2 light almost.

The car is nice...I like Honda...not that year civic though...also the rims are nice but those ricer 100 dollar projectors with angel eyes got to go...

The headlights are already gone. I have nice stock headlights now.

And Death, these are really light. I think around 2700lbs?

EDIT: Nevermind, 2222 lbs.

That's what I was thinking. With the right motor swap and a Turbo kit that car will be a monster [And it wouldn't cost 10K for that car - the joys of Honda to be sure]
IMO Honda = Toyota for reliablity

it's everything that's attached to the honda with zero reliability. Everyone that i've ever known to have one has random sh!t go wrong with it. Like an ex girlfriend of mine had a civic, and when she unpluged her radar dectectr from the cigg lighter, it blew the interior fuse, the signal/break lights fuse, wiper fuse and the foggs fuse. Just from unplugging something the ac went out after 8 months. THe exhaust man. had loosened itself about the same time. Radiator fan fell off while driving ((and fluid went everywhere, i was driving behind when it happened, hallarious to watch, not so much fun to get beat up for laughing when she finaly pulled over ))

IDFK, in my exp. i would never own one. Nor a kia for that matter, i i've already given up on mercury products.

this is the only honda i'd buy (excluding the s2k and nsx of course)..

I'm thinking about turboing it, would be a lot of fun.

add 200 more lbs. check around if you dont trust me

That would probably be right, it just said 2222 on the first Google link.

Sorry, but I gotta consider the source here - the guy who wants to turbo his car BEFORE giving it a basic tune up. Everything attached to it has zero reliability? I know first hand that that is absolutely FALSE. My ex has/had a '97 Civic (she wrecked it a year or so ago and now it's put away for when the kids get old enough) and she literally drove that thing into the ground and it NEVER ONCE broke down. She doesn't know jack about oil changes, fluid, NOTHING. The kids stomped the sh1t out of it, the dog ate it, everything you could imagine, and boy we took that car EVERYWHERE, on some serious road trips and through terrain that anything with 2WD should never see. That car, while in my opinion was ugly and had no guts, got GREAT gas mileage (40 mpg) and just took a beating like a champ.

So your one story about this chick's car? I guarantee you it's an isolated case. That story goes more along with many American cars. Manphibian is right.

LOL I saw that thing on the news the other night, and while they were showing it the weather guy's mike was on and he was like "OUCH! THAT'S gotta hurt!" It was funny as hell.

I own a Honda now... but it's one of these (not this exact one but same model)




Happy birthday to me!

I just think they're boring, but that's a repost x 2 12314253245434

And a coupe with a Camry motor isnt't? Ignorance is bliss if you haven't driven a Civic yourself.

>

And ignorance on your part is that I have indeed driven a Civic. A 2008 Fiji Blue Si coupe, to be exact...it was cool and definitely fast, but I didn't care for the interior ergonomics nor some of the exterior.

i drove three Civics in my life and loved the drive everytime, 99Si, 95 hatch, 04 Si hatch
people can hate on the civic all they want cause everyone has them but they are very nice reliable cars

First, congrats on the newer car. If it makes you happy then screw everyone else.


On that note, that body style civic is by far the worst. I think the EP3 SI hatch was the best looking car from that generation. I personally wouldn't have traded a Celica for it, but that is just me.


However - with that said, it looks very clean. And as long as you're happy thats all that matters.
