Rep Power: 0 Have you always been in love with the civic?
I was just wondering, cuz i remember when the 2k1 civics first came out, i was so mad that they changed the model b/c i had always wanted a civic, but i loved the 6thgen civic. but when it got down to buying a car, i still went with the 2k1. now,though, i love this thing. it looks so good, and theres so much you can do to it that lets you express your individuality so you don't see a whole bunch of civics driving around all looking the same. i mean yeah, its not fast but thats what you get when you buy an economy car. i love the gas mileage though. i'd rather sacrifice speed and hp for mileage and reliability, dont you think? if i wanted a fast car, i would've gotten an rsx or wrx, when you're tight on money b/c you're 17, in college and working to pay off this car and insurance, you really have to go with the better bargain. anyways, i'll stop complaining...

Rep Power: 0 i agree totally....when it came to trading in my integra I wanted a new civic, but I did not like the 7th gen. But once I got it, it quickly grew on e me. Now I love it, and would give up vital parts of m anatomy to keep it. I love my car!!!

Rep Power: 0 HAHA I am the same, except I am 19! I disliked the 7th Gen look at first but not I think its better than the 6th. Don't get me wrong the older ones look good but the new ones are the best looking I think.

Rep Power: 0 Ok...I confess...I actually always hated honda's. And I have to admit, it was mainly due to jealousy of the extensive availability of parts for these cars. Mind you, I owned a toyota corolla, and back then, they didn't make much for them. I had to have my turbo kit custom built.
BUT ANYWAY, I finally gave in. I got a 1999 Si cuz I got bored. Got bored again(that and the car was givin me probs), and saw a 2K1 on a truck...and totally decided THAT VERY DAY that I wanted one. Needless to say, I went out and got one that very weekend...$16700 for my EBP EX, dressed in leather. Mmmmmmmmm.

Rep Power: 0 I was looking into buying an Integra GSR, but every model that I really liked, had more than 130,000 miles, I got dissapointed that I couldn't find once with low miles, so I found on the newspaper that the new civic was priced, relatively low, so I started looking into civics, at first I didn't like them, especially the sedan[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG], but then I found 2k1civic.com, and got used to it and started to like it more and more, and here Iam with my civic that I like a lot

Rep Power: 0 My whole family are honda lovers. My mom drove an OLD civic for about 6 years when i was young then my dad got an Integra.. i think 94.. now he drives an accord which is sweet and he never lets me drive [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] I drive my 2k1 civic obvously... but my mom disapoints me. She sold the civic and got a mini-van... so disapointing. My sister is either going to get a newer civic (the new hatchbacks) or a VW jetta.
...Oh, and the reason we ALL drive hondas is because NOT ONCE did ANY of these cars break down EVER. My dads accord STILL runs and SMELLS like he drove it off the lot... then again he babies that thing like its more important then lets say... his children
and the gas mileage... working a part-time mall job I LOVE TO SAVE MONEY. DAMN i love hondas... *sniff*
I think im going to go kiss my car goodnite

Rep Power: 0 I have to confess that I always hated Hondas from a tuning standpoint, i only bought mine for reliability. However, I have always been into modifying cars, and the temptation to buy some of the hundreds of aftermarket parts was too much for me. Just installed my magnaflow catback today, and I love this car more than ever.

Rep Power: 0 Before I got my car, I didn't even liked Civics. Instead, I almost got a Jetta 1.8T. That was before I knew anything about sport compacts. Whew...
