What do Civic owners graduate to?
What do most Civic owners buy after they're done with their Civic? Accord? Something from Acura? Another brand? What do you figure will be your next vehicle?

i have no idea? I'm debating on whether my younger brother should just take my car and I get a different one or keep mine, and keep playing with it.
I've thought about s2000 or is430/TSX/TL. Pretty much Japenese 4dr or convertible. Don't know if I wanna get another coupe cause it'd be pretty much the save idea of the car now. Maybe get a Miata

It seems the younger people move laterally... into the new gen Si, I've seen some people go for the MS3 or GTIs and other factory turbo thingies, some people move on to Used Evos, STi, Z, and S2Ks and some go for 30K cars. It really runs the gammit...
I went for the A3 because it has all the tinkerability of the GTI without the boy racer image (and it looks better, its a smidge bigger, the seats are better and I could get it in Blue).

I 've been debating and looking at the Audi S5, but cannot justifying paying for a car that will be sitting in my garage most of the time.

I've thought about a lot of different cars. I've thought about a used Evo, S2k, 8th gen civic si, accord v6, even some Bmw's. Right now, it is between two cars, a used s2k or a 8th gen civic Si. I will probably end up going with an S2000 because a buddy of mine has one and he modded his and painted it lambo orange. So, I can get him to help me with stuff on mine.

They graduate to 350z's and BMWs
almost all of my friends had civics and civic Si's most of them grew up and bought BMWs most M3s and then some bought 350z's and 1 of my friends bought an S2K and the comptech sc kit
As for me id upgrade well gonna upgrade to either a TSX (turbo'd) or a 2006 Lotus Elise

All you young kids have grand dreams of owning a great car. Wait until the real world hits you in the ***. It seems like many of you will give up saving for retirement, buying a house, or saving on gas so you can have a "cool" car. Unless you have mommy and daddy paying your bills.

Some ppl just dont care about loans or debt. I know a guy who bought a 2006 Yamaha R6 and just recently bought a 350z and is now scrambling to sell the bike since he obviously can't afford both and who knows what his credit score looks like now with 2 huge loans.

Eek. I was thinking about getting rid of the Civic.
Sure Its great for gas. But the Car payments are killing me. It handles terrible in the winter.
I think I might just give up the Civic for a early 4x4 ranger for now.
Sure more on gas but I don't have terrible car payments. plus I have something in the winter to drive.

i'll only buy another car because i have a mutual fund doing quite well and my coast guard retirement account building well... plus my expenses are rediculously low compared to my income, thanks to my housing allowance in alaska and being a petty officer! my plans on cars don't start until 4 years from now and depends on if i can find a good IT related position in austin. in any case, used 350z's are quite inexpensive these days. i'm not exactly a young kid anymore .

I know for sure that I will buy 2 more cars for sure in the future, both of which will be black. Acura TL and a S2000.

In a few years once I have a stable job, I'm looking for something in the $30-40K range. So me and my friend are going to go test drive damn near everything in that segment. S2000 CR, 350Z, 370Z, STi, Evo, G35, G37, Camaro Z28. Just about everything to get a feel for what I want. It's going to be my driving toy, so performance and steering feel and just plain how much I like driving it is going to be a huge consideration.

I hate to say this, but you're sixteen. Unless you've been driving karts for the past four years, I don't think you could handle an S2000. I'm 19, and I'd be nervous driving one.

I'll probably keep the Civic as a daily driver and pick up something along the line of an Accord; something with a little more power, and a few more luxuries, something that isn't horrible on gas mileage that my wife and drive occassionally to save on fuel.
The wife's next car will probably be a hybrid SUV of some sort. She loves SUVs and doesn't want anything else, so a hybrid might be the way to go.

Well I have some experience driving small fast cars. I've driven an 04 s2k, and an 02 Porsche 911. I've also taken 2 classes of Drivers Ed. At those classes, I drove my civic and a fully race ready Miata.

I was looking for an s2k with could be around 25-40 depending on used or new. But if I was willing to put some more money down, i'm actually considering the lotus exige... or maybe ill settle with the elise sc.

i'd have to go with a tsx methinks. i'll probably stay with a honda. i look at other cars out there, and they never seem to have the power a honda has comparatively. at least for 4-bangers.
