Fast?

I've driven the CSX which is a Civic with a 2L 155HP motor and it isn't what I would consider fast.

And I drive a TSX, so I would know.

I like the styling of the new civic although I dont think I'll ever buy one again (currently have an '01 as my winter beater).

The guy who just bought my TSX (very Jatt-like) wrapped his 06 Civic around a tree. I don't have high hopes for my old car....

keep your insurance policy on the car even though you've sold it so you can cash out on it.

How do you disable the braking system on an 04 TSX?

At least the Civic manages close to 40mpg. Just want to bring up the good side of it.

Why not wait for the 4 door Si? And yes the civic feels fast since it's not that heavy. I just hate the front and the interior. The back is very very nice looking though.

Fit > Civic DX. When I saw the pic, I didn't realize Civics still came like that. Those black door handles and side mirrors, especially on a white car, are just wrong. It's like the Panda edition. I knew the DX model exists, just never saw it in the flesh or in pics.

my friends and I were thinking how the civic, especially the coupe, looks damn nice when we encountered a fix up one at a pool hall.

How kids are lucky these days riding in the new stlying civic versus the older ones we had..

IMHO this is the best body style so far..

my girl originally wanted to buy a Corolla (new) I took her to the Honda dealership and she was over the corolla immediately, why does she want a civic cuz she only wants to pay 14,000, which is what she paid for it, pretty good deal in my book

anyway, let teh modding begin

BEFORE




AFTER
