trust me man, u will lose large if u trade in your 02 civic now. my 01 civic has 28,000km and come with extended warranty, rust proof from honda and oem spoiler and all the options and the dealer gave me $15,000 for trade in toward the 02 SiR. he said the reason why the civic dont worth as much as the 6th gen (when they are 2 yrs old) is because there's way too many civic on the road so it reduces their value. so in my opinion just stick to what u have. i mean u are jumping from 115 to 127HP and fabric to leather (if u get the top of the line)[hr]
whoah! that's a total rip huh? but i guess there's no harm in me trying to see how much my sedan's worth when i drop by the acura dealer... buuuut i'm pretty sure i'll be forking over at least 5grand... ouch... and the insurance too, i already pay 490/month! the wonders of being single, 21, male, horny, etc hehehe... darn state-farm! will my insurance go if i get the EL? hopefully not by a significant amount

i guess ur rates will go up slightly, but thats the price u pay for not going with the EL from the beginning.

ifu get the EL then i suggest u hold onto the civic for few more years or get like a RSX. it's no point upgrading to same class car with extra options like sunroof and vtec engine that gives u extra 12 HP.
or get a used 6th gen SiR or EK and mod it all out to become a JDM civic R

Trading a Civic for.... a factory-souped Civic? Uh... no.

My EL rattles like a beeyotch, and that sound insulation that they rave about.... Non-existent. I drive 240kms daily, and going 120km/h, there is *no* insulation...

Anything wrong with the Civic, it's also wrong in the EL....

And you pay on average $200-300 more per year on insurance for an EL over a Civic...

Right now I'm paying out the azz.... $5500/yr for my 2001 EL for insurance... 24, male, primary driver, Markham resident, 2 accidents

Oh, one more thing... You can't buy aftermarket projectors for the EL, so that you can go HID [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

Though I'll tell ya, the OEM hood lines are so sexy... as well as the front grill

i know ey! it's crazy! 490/month out of my bank account is highway robbery! that's $5900/year!!!!
i guess it's because i've only had two years driving experience in canada (5months driving in ontario), 21yrs old, male, student, no accidents...
what i don't get is why they are charging me sooooo much for an LX-G 4door!!! i think i paid 26grand out the door with factory spoiler, rust protection, 5yr roadside/warranty, muffler chrome tip, k&n drop in... heck 490 can pay for a lease on a freakin beemer!
