Thinking about picking up this Civic, should I jump on it?

[toneekay]

I'm thinking about just buying it, make it run, and selling it off for a couple grand more so I can pay off my school loans luls.

I'm excited to jump back into a Honda! Going to crank that vteccc!

Haha! Yeah, I'm getting a good deal from a buddy of mines.

This forum is funny. We have a 5th gen Civic driver who wants to get an EVO, and we have an STi driver who wants to get a 5th gen Civic.

 

[TigBitties]

lol anyways, but sti > evo

I have an STI, true, but I also want a 5th gen Civic; if I pick up the car, it'll be another in my stable. I'm not getting rid of the STI for a Civic, luls, I'm not a noob... Damn 7th gen drivers!

 

[vjf915]

Hey f**k you man, you had a 7th gen at one time.

 

[toneekay]

Haha! That's 7th gen love you homophobe!

7th gen FTL

 

[vjf915]

I don't get why people hate on the 7th gens so much. I think they have just enough styling before the 8th gen alien s**t came along, and doesn't look as ghetto as the 6th gens. Look at the interior, you cannot honestly tell me that the 6th gen interior is nicer.

I've had a 6th gen and a 7th gen so I'm not biased here.

7th gen interior is MUCH nicer IMO.
Yeah the 7th gens are slow but tbh I think they look the best.

And +1 on 7th gens looking good before the 8th gen s**t.

7th gen is the nicest balance of having a nice interior before the Civic got the concept feel to it. To me, the 8th gen is trying too hard to look futuristic. The 7th gen doesn't have a ghetto interior, but doesn't have the futuristic look Honda is moving towards. Stock for stock, for a daily driver, I would take my EM2.

I had a 6th gen and the interior was cheap and shitty.. I mean no worse than a 91 Mustang.. which is equally shitty..... comparing a high end cars interior to 6th OR 7th gen makes them both "cheap"... I mean maybe the 7th gen is marginally nicer? but seriously.. worth noting? not really.. IMO at least.. not talking s**t on civics in general.. I had one for 10+ years and loved it.. but the quality of the interior was not really a strong point..

EXACTLY my thoughts. Also include exterior in this discussion. (7th vs 8th)

I'm really worried that the 9th gen civic's are going to look terrible. I have a feeling they will make it look even more futuristic...

 

[vjf915]

Oh we are talking exterior now? The main difference between the 6th gen and 7th gen.....the tail lights and the body molding. Other than that, they are really similar.

 

[FlipSkater079]

Yeah I agree 6th and 7th are very similar in exterior.

You picked a MUCH better looking 7th gen lol...
And where did those wheels come from on the EM2? They look off...

 

[vjf915]

The condition of the paint shouldn't matter much, I am pointing towards the body lines. And I don't know about the wheels, I was just trying to pick silver coupes from similar angles.

 

[toneekay]

I had the best 7th gen ever! '05 Civic EX special edition anddd manual! Black on black Ooowee. I actually miss that car now, had some good times in it!

 

[vjf915]

I have a 2003 EX that is manual, red with black interior. I kind of like it. It is okay for being what it is.....a daily car. It is nothing else though.
