Hey guys, new to the site. Looking at getting a new (to me!) Civic. Trying to get a 6th gen hatchback. Sadly, I do need an automatic due to some damage in my left leg/knee/ankle/foot.

Any big changes other than cosmetics between the 96-98's and 99-00's? What problem areas should I look at when looking at used ones? Belt, water pump, engine seals?

Any fun stuff I can do the auto to make a little more fun? And does anyone have a 99-00 for sale?

Thanks!
