3 reasons why I hate my car

1.its slow. period. only way to make this damn thing fast is to turbo or swap. and even then its not going to be that fast.

2.cost to much. I am paying over 500 a month to drive this thing. (between car payment and insurance) insurance is really high. why? its not like its fast (i dont have any wrecks or tickets on my record)

3.everyone has one. (thanks to the fast and the furious) i cant even count how many i see a day that i want to run off the road because of what look like.looks like they belong in a junkyard or mexico

1. Its a civic, what do you expect. But on the bright side, you get better gas mileage compared to pretty much every car out there.

2. You are either getting screwed over by your insurance company or you are a teenager still. I have about 20 tickets on my record and pay $300 more a month then you do.

3. Everyone has one because of how cheap they are too buy. And yes because people want to make them like fast and the furious.

well i am 21 and this is the cheapest insurance company i can find. every where else i have tried is atleat 50 more a month. i am just confused as to how i can have a mustang gt 5.0 and pay less on that at 17 than i pay now at 21 on a civic.
i just cant justify spending what i do on this a month. its ridiculous.

I really hate guys/gals like you who rant about their car 3 reasons i got to say.

1. who said civics were fast in the first place?
2. what other car can you depend on? (elantra's, sephia's, rio's etc..)
3. Everyone has one??? they why you buy one? when there's so many cars out there to choose from.

the conclusion For all the 7th gen civic owners that say our cars are slow. why the f&&k you get it for? I know you had some heart when you bought it in the first place. before ranting, go research before owning one.

no one said it was fast. they say it has potential to be quick. i did my research before i went out and dropped 15k on a new car. from what i found matching nothing of what this car really is. i could of gone nissan, toyota, waited and got a scion tc or something else. there are other cars that are reliable and from what you posted were the ones that arent. open your fcuking eyes. there are other cars out there that are reliable and not junk. i just am not happy with this car. i have had problems from day one and just sick of dealing with a car that has 10k miles on it and has been in the shop atleast 6 times already

I have over 85000 miles on my car and I have yet to have a problem. Yeah it is a pretty slow car but that is fine. I'm not trying to prove anything to anyone. Sounds like your car might fall into the "lemon law" if it is messing up that much. I don't know much about the laws but check it out. hater... lol j/k

my car has 51k miles (01ex) and I've never had any problems with it, (thank god)
I wonder why insurance companies charge so much $ for a dayum slow Civic.. maybe 'cuz so many teenagers have (love) Civics(and get into accidents) and i can't fvcken understand why thieves steal freaking Civics.. (One of the most stolen car)

3 reasons i love my car

1. It gets great gas mileage compared to 95% of all other cars on the road today!

2. Insurance is dirt cheap comparable to my 350z and any other sports car/convertible

3. Everyone has one! I am not drawing unwanted attention to myself, looking for people to vandalize it or break into my car.

3.5. Worry free ownership! I put gas in it and it goes. nuff said

3.6. It looks better than a lot of the new bangle bmws that are 35k plus.

3.7. it is not mod friendly for performance. it saves me shit load of money!

I love my civic

I am sure if you put your car up on ebay some other fool would love to buy it for a reasonable price.

And how are you paying $500+ on a civic?

I paid $650/month for a 2004 track edition 350z before i sold it.
Went through Capital One auto finance and insurance was close to $3000 per year.

And I was paying $780/month a merc slk with amg aero kit, lease.

You def are paying way too much for a civic. if you hate it that much then just sell it.

im saying as in examples civic's are one of the best reliable cars better than elantras, sephias, and rios.
