so i know our first gen cl are pretty limited compare to like civics and what not. and girls love my car's interior and its an acura...

but my friend recently tempted me with his 2000 honda civic si...do you think its a good buy? and then give my cl to my dad? like will i get as much "lookers" as i did with my cl?

and yes, i know about the si's high theft rate. thanks

i guess it depends on what you're looking for. the CL is more luxury while the SI is more sporty. its personal preference mang. to me civics are a dime a dozen.

lol. yeah, and insurance will probably be very high as well. and i agree with herbalist, civics are a dime a dozen. like honestly, people who doesn't know about cars will just think it's just a regular civic...but when people see an acura, they know its an acura...decisions decisions...

i was in the same kind of situation when i was looking for a car. I had a really good deal on an SI and I thought of it like this.

some random person sees me driving in the SI = oh look theres another azn dude driving a civic

some random person sees me driving in the CL = oh look an acura, leather, nice


plus no one mods CL's. how many modded civics are there out there?

That is fucking funny mang.

As for chicks, if they want you for your car, you sure don't want them.
You better find one that wants your package, not your car. LOL

thats why its a big risk investing in a Civic, Integra, CRX, or Del Sol (even an Accord). i feel alot safer when i park my CL on the street compared to if i had any of those cars

No, no one steals them because no one knows that they are a glorified accord.

Accords are stolen just as much as civics are. TRUST ME.....


I would NEVER trade my CL for any civic, not even a new one. If i trade my car in, its gonna be something much better than a civic.
