The issue is not with the car itself, but what stupid people do to the car. Every 16 year old kid slaps a 5" exhuast tip on, an intake, and a 4" high wing and thinks they have a race car. You see so many of them that way you just tend to hate the car after a while. I myself have a 90 CRX with nothing done aesthetically (sp?) (aside from wheels, 15" --> the only practical size), and get quite a kick out of whomping everyone's ass on an auto-x course on my Hoosiers. |
Thats exactly whay everyone over the age of 12* in england hates them too!!!
(*note:- includes mental age)
I kinda like the looks personally but I think that the whole Fast And The Furious culture has made them such a Dime A Dozen everywhere in the world (cosmetically modded Civics) that they are hated. I will never diss a Civic for it's fuel economy. They are among the best, but the dumb teenage kids who try to race them are the ones who give them a bad name. As far as making them fast???? Give me a break. Plenty of cars out there that can be modded to beat the living piss out of a civic for less money (a lot less).
Here in Hawaii, one out of every four cars you see is a Civic with ugly-ass Altezza tail lights and a huge exhaust. They sound like someone farting, and look even worse.
(Of course, there are a few nice ones that stand out)
I can see why people can get disgusted with some Civics. there are some people that practicly get plane parts and put them on there car. there is a limit, as for me an owner of a Honda Civic 2000 Ex i don't go that way.
BTW: tell me what you think ?
Did you drive it through the stargate? J/K Yours looks pretty nice.

lol .....good one, you had me laughing.
I love my luda. The engine is stock other than the intake exaust and turbo but I dont race it. Its for looks. The only reason I got a turbo was for the blow off valve sound. I just love that sound. And my luda isnt loud and anoying, the exaust is a cat back not just a tip, has a deep low growl to it not a high pitched wine.
Tell me what you think.

Very NICE car. I like those rims, how big are they?
17 inchers. The wing on the back is stock btw, I dont like big ass wings. I would rather it not be there but idk y I kept it.
Preludes are always nice. It is near impossible to fuck up a Prelude. Love it.

I also own my pride and joy. 1987 Chevy Sprint. Not nearly as powerful or as fast. Rescued from a junkyard and it's as rare as any Ferrarri. 3 cylinder, 1 liter, turbo. And my ONLY goal is to beat Civics with it. |
not to diss or anything but damn man thats a hunk of Junk brought back from the past, and you dedicated yourself to beat Civics. well Good Luck cause you'll need it.

People are just hating Civics because they were in movies SUCH AS F&F, because they are the most car that you can mod in its class. I am not saying it's the best car out there but you got to give it some props !! |
most car you can mod in it's class??? What the hell does that mean? It's class is econobox, so even if you can mod it, you're still gonna own an econobox thats modded. And I believe I did give it props. It's a reliable economy car that is very well built. It is not, and never will be a sports car.
As far as F&F goes.......
I wouldn't want my car in a movie that uses terms like "double clutching". All it would do is add that many more riced out Probes onto the streets and inflate the prices on my car.

Ohh by the way i like this childish reply.

BTW, don't know what a Civic weighs, but to put my Sprint on ramps 4 guys lifted the entire car and a fifth slid 4 ramps under it. (bumpers won't clear the ramps well driving on em.) 1500 pounds, which means I make up over 10% of the vehichle weight once I get in it.

Hey man i agree with you in some points. Like that is an ugly car, i dont know what that guy was thinking, but hey man i am not out there to drag race people or have a 5 second car. Honda Civics are in general are good cars.
I like my car because its cheap, reliable and good on gas. They can take a beating and hold its price value.
I can see the anti civic hatred but o well i can't do anything about it.
Ohh by the way i like this childish reply. |
That they are but a number of people try to make them (and drive them) like race cars and that is why they have developed a bad name for themselves. The civic was intended to be an economy car and nothing more.
