After that vid, I would.

 

I bought one, but after I sit in the garage and looked at it the first night, I regret and sold it in a week... only drove for 5 miles...

I can't sit in a civic///

 

They are good vehicles. Our company utility car is a 98 civic that my uncle works on for my boss. I work on some at my uncle's shop when we do modifications. While I might prefer something else, I don't mind them.

 

and what are they thinking?? Beat up the motor before the swap???

 

Looks that way. Honda motor is putting up a good fight though. Strong engines. I have a 92 Honda Prelude Si (modded of course) with 176,000 miles on it and I have not had a single problem yet. Love that car.

 

wouldnt buy one anymore...a modded civic is asking like for thieves to take it

 

If I plan to use it from point a to b hell why not, it's decent economical. I wouldn't buy one to modify one though I admit I did years ago.

 

I put about 80K on a '95 Civic EX 5-spd back when I was commuting to work. It was well-finished, smooth, reasonably fun to drive for an economy sedan, and most important, it was dead reliable. With performance rubber and a bit of "brisk" driving, I managed to shorten the life of the clutch, transmission and CV joints rather dramatically, but considering the hard launch it required to get the no-torque VTEC into the power band quickly, it was an excellent commuter vehicle for someone wanting a little fun in his daily slog.

My only real complaint was its size. I'm a rather large individual, and once inside, I was surprised to find that with suitable adjustments I could make myself reasonably comfortable, even for a long trip. My concern was that the Civic was so much smaller than everything else on the highway. I've driven smallish cars all my life and I'm used to using speed and quickness to avoid potentially uncomfortable situations. I became aware, however, of those few situations over which you have no real control - where small, lightweight cars lose out to big heavy ones . . . every time.

Were I to resume a one-hour commute each way to bookend my workday, I'd probably consider another Civic: reasonable comfort, great quality and reliability at a moderate (not low) price, and excellent resale value.

 

I guess I'd probably buy one if my budget was more limited and I needed something somewhat fun to drive yet reliable and fuel efficient.

In my current position, no, I'd never even think about buying a civic... but that doesn't mean I don't think they're good at what they're made for.

 

My first car was a civic, 390km before we sold it (I think it's still on the road too); I wouldn't buy one now though - we looked at one for my sister, but frankly the lower cost competitors are just as good now for less money.

 

I'd buy a civic as a transportation if i'm commuting far.

Though I would NEVER buy a corolla. Its just too blah

 

Absolutely.

I wouldn't have thought of it before the current generation arrived, but I have fallen in love with the new one. It's the only economy car that I will
stand there and stare at it because of how sleek and stylish it is. I didn't feel that way when I saw the pics online for the first time but then it kept growing on me.

The only models in this class I would buy is the Civic or Mazda 3.

 

only if it is Type R

 

I've always had respect for the Civic's reliability and engine efficiency. It is built like a Swiss watch. It also has, IMO, the best and easiest-to-shift front-drive manual transmission in the industry.

Would I actually buy a Civic?

Get rid of the goofy two-tier dash / gauges and trianglular A-pillar windows, , give it some nice wood-trim inside, make the all-wheel-drive system from the CR-V available as an option, and............Maybe.

 

HELL NO!!!
