Re: What did you own before Civic?
I got handed my civic by default. It's my "buisness building car" until I can afford my Aston Martin. Traded the FRS in to buy my wife her dream car (subaru outback)
Car list
(1) 79 Volvo
(2) 84 Mustang 5.0
(3) 03 Mustang Cobra
(4) 04 E46 M3
(5) 03 Mustang Cobra 10th Anniversary
(6) 13 Scion FRS
(7) 07 Honda Civic EX
I've had quite a few fun cars. Civic is great for what it was designed for. Cheap, reliable fun. Even when I get my exotic, she will probably stay my DD

Re: What did you own before Civic?
Hey. Im new to this forum and i obviously joined it so i could talk to other honda driver as well as asking questions to figure out trouble shootings.
I need help with my 98honda civic ex (4-door). It has a steady water leak by the radiator hose and can seem to find the answere as to why this is happening. To give you more detail, the leak is right there next to the distributor and the leak isnt extreme or anything it just seems to be running by there and at first glance you would think it would be seeping out of the transmission, but luckly that is not the case. I have two honda civic book that has my specific year, but they dont i need to know accurately Haynes manuels). Please help im completely stumped in options!

1996 Pontiac Grand Am. No A/C, leaked like a **** (always had water in the floor after a rainstorm), smelled like a wet dog's armpits, had broken power windows, a crappy engine, and the alternator caught fire twice. Plus, it was purple. I ditched it at about 150k.
Fast forward to now. 98 civic EX. I had a thermostat problem once, my A/C compressor is going out, and my exhaust rusted out 5 years ago (just an excuse to get a full exhaust system!). Currently has 267k on the clock. Let's see, who makes a better product? No brainer.
