Wasn't sure where to post this as I saw no EL section.. but just wondering your opinions/experience with it? I really like the look of the EL sedan.. how does it drive? Not much HP, can it be modded?

 

WTF is a EL?

 

Only available in Canada - it's basically a Honda Civic with all of the options.

 

is that the acura version of a honda civic? Isnt that only available in Canada?

 

sorry rjp we posted at the exact same time

 

not to fond of it, but its not horrible. looks just like a civic w/a better front end. interior isnt horrible though.
check out the gallery:

I would go with the TSX or RSX. It's a Civic.

 

no.

it looks like a malibu

"eh?" .....canada jus kiddin, thanks for the good beer

 

i definitely agree the rsx and tsx look better and are just overall better.
but money wise, im sure you would save money buying a new EL rather than a new TSX OR RSX.
now myself, No, i wouldnt drive it.
im sure it will be quite easy to mod, but i wouldnt waste my time.
you could put a decent custom turbo setup on the thing and it would still be slow.
not worth it imo unless you want to save money, gas, and arent worried about having a fast car.

 

thx for your replies.. I wasn't aware the EL is only available in Canada.. it looks nothing like a civic though, but it is seriously lacking in power

 

if i had to choose i would rather get a civic then an EL... hhaha but you aint catchin me in either...

 

i'd buy a 1990 CRX and drive to the states... then ditch the thing on a road somewhere and buy a real Acura.







j/k

 

what civics are you lookin at?...it looks exactly like a civic....just diff ft bumper, fogs, grille, headlamps...

 

looks pretty close to me

and acura world has a small EL forum

 

here even better... Civic Special Edition, same wheels too, lol
