Rep Power: 0 I've seen a couple of those round I really like the front but the sides and rear are not my taste
But if you decide getting one I suggest you get a black or silver one
then slap on some huge chrome rims

Rep Power: 305 from the back it looks like a saab...
don't really like hatchbacks. there's a black one i see at school too. it's a nice car, but there are better ones.
would like to see that car with more compression though

I like the back. I think it would look much better dropped about 3 inches with new rims.
It's kind of a yuppy car. Would be fun to drive that fun supercharged engine.

Rep Power: 0 I've always like those cars. It just looks plain good to me. I really like how pretty much the whole roof of the car is sun roof. I'd definitely take one.

Rep Power: 0 I love it. I was actually planning on trading the civic for one of those, but for safety reasons (didn´t want to get kidnapped) I decided to not get it.
I think its a great looking, very european car, probably not very popular in the US because a hatchback means cheap to Americans, but the car is actually a C-Class, with the same interior and build quality.
I´ve seen pictures of the sportscoupe with big rims and aero kits (from AMG) and they look awesome.
