Well...we all know what you all HATE about your car, so how about what you LIKE about it?
How about it? It gets boring and pointless whining and complaing about a lack of power and no response to modifications. Lets hear what you guys like about it?
Here's my top 4:
1)Gas Milage - Really helps me out when I have to drive a 50 mile round trip to campus every day
2)High-Rev Engine - Can go much to much higher RPM's compared to my previous car, and higher than just about any other car I've driven (no s2000 or Type S...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]) It's a nice way to let of some steam after a tough day at work or something.
3)Good Looks - Hands down looks much better than previous gen Civics (IMO...don't flame me for that..its my OPINION). Cleared out headlights on a black coupe (with all white bulbs) looks really nice. Now all I need are some rims and the new OEM kit (and the money for those[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]).
4)Lightweight - Its nice to be able to toss around the car like you can. I prefer the feel of lightweight cars to heavy ones (such as trucks, 4 Door Luxury Sedans, or Mustangs that I've driven)
How about ya'll?

What I like-
*styling inside and out. looks better than anything else in its class, hands down
*gas mileage
*decent sounding, high revving engine (even though its SLOW, hehe)
*overall, an ok handling car, that is pretty tossable.
*girls think i look damn good driving it
Pretty similar to yours, no?

Funny story about that actually...was hanging out at the Sonics by my house one nite with my buddies. One had a 01 Black Ex coupe (no clear headlights), and the other has a 93 Black Ex Coupe. I asked one of the car hops (a friend of a friend) which car she thinks is the best looking in the whole lot. She chooses mine over them all (mustang, Lancer OZ edition, and some other crap). And my car's been called sexy once..."Thats one damn sexy car"[hr]

Rep Power: 0 I like that its MY CAR. There is nothing better than to be able to drive your car anytime, and go wherever you want, for however long you want. Plus i get mad props for it cuz it was the first honda to get a different look.

Rep Power: 0 Yeah the gas mileagle is awesome...more than twice as good as my last car...
It definitely looks nice, especially the interior (I don't really like the triangular tail lights but oh well...)
Bjmayo, I agree it's nice having a car you can drive whenever, whereever. I don't own my car, and I share it with my sister, but since she doens't drive yet I esentially get it all the time. Sometime (especailly at 4AM after I've dropped off all my friends) I just drive random places and explore. Motoring is great. Some nights I use half a tank of gas...and you guys know that's quite a ways especailly not on freeways (maybe 150 miles).

I just had to point that out because I seem to be a flame magnet.

And for me, the 6th gen has so much potential right now, if I had the money

Gas milage, reliability, and the way it looks. All the crap about the interior being cheap is crap. I rode in a 6th gen sedan yesterday and all I can say is my 2k2 is worlds better inside than that.

But one thing I'm thoroughly impressed with is its build quality. The interior is the nicest of its class, better than even many more upscale models (Nissan's look very plasticky).
Looks nice too. Had some friends from Japan come down, they never saw the coupe in Japan and they dug it.
Reliability. I like the fact that this car will not break down on me, overheat, or have stuff falling off.
As for gas mileage though, why is mine so bad? Anybody else live in the bay area? I did all city driving on this tank, and at this rate I'm gonna run out at 280 miles

Rep Power: 0 1) No problems so far, after 1 year of ownership
2) I get more MPG than previous gen Civics, and most everyone I know
3) It's highly affordable but is not "cheap"
4) Looks better with mods (Ever seen a corvette with a body kit? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] )
Caught a blondie checking out my car. Hell yeah. [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]
