My wifes car is an 02 civic, ive had an 03, 05, and 01. My daily driver is a 1993 ford festiva with 440,000km. Had it for almost 9 years and its a way more fun, more reliable, more cheaper, and more fuel efficient car than those civics. 63 hp from a 1.3L mazda motor. The car is amazing. Did 20 runs at the local track and its a slow 1/4 mile but the car is quick off the line. Only 3 cars beat me off the line, but i only beat 2 to the finish. 17.8 seconds. But i had new/old mustangs, evo's, civics, golfs... All beat off the line and quite often to second gear.
62.7mpg was the best i ever got(Canadian gallons, also known as UK mpg) used to average 55mpg but ran my transmission out of oil 3 times and completely seized it the first time cos i didnt know what was going on. Now i get 53mpg avg. if i spend a lot of time in the city, drive it hard and do 75mph on the freeway (3600rpm) it gets 50. Worst i ever got was 38mpg with a bad O2 sensor, no exhaust after te downpipe, -34c and i spend hours and hours bombing around on a frozen lake through fairly deep snow. Think i still got 45 when i pulled this boat in a bad headwind and couldnt get out of 4th gear
It will go places some pickups wont. Used to do a lot of off-roading. Had a really poor camera, the snow isnt deep yet here, but they are like some of the only photos that turned out. Went through powder almost up to my headlights farther down this trail.


Digging it out after my 05 civic died.

Got it stuck in a lake on a boat launch once. Had no handbrake at the time, no cell service, thought it would roll too far ahead if i put it in gear and got out. So i had to wait with my foot on the brake till someone found me 1/2 hour later. It was a long half hour with water coming through the floorboards...

I found this one: Spirits of Cars Passed
http://www.clubcivic.com/forum/index.php?threads/Spirits-of-Cars-Passed.225929/ but its from 2014 and quite a few links are dead. Its also more about past cars rather than current non-civic rides. But if there is another thread or the moderators want to merge these 2 thats cool with me.

I am speechless

Haha, its the best car ever

Nobody else has non-civic rides they want to post about?
I also love my speedometer. Notch every 2km/hr, Easy to see how fast your going. None of this 220km/hr nonsense on a civic or any car that takes 5 miles to get to 170.

Civic was bought from a local dealer advertising "Cars as low as $500!" but after fees and bullshit, was $15##. Needed a clutch as it couldn't grab anything higher than 25mph, but bought it right as someone else came in for it and that guys salesman just about tried to skip ahead of us. Kept it because visiting the (now ex) gf 2hrs away and seeing 39mpg is hard to let go of, plus it's a fun beater. Ran into problem with it a couple months back and once I get around to fixing it, probably going to finally sell it like I meant to last year.

DeVille used to be my dads and it got passed down as he upgraded to something else

El Camino is a project/beater/awesome/troll. Was in a junkyard after a hurricane in Key West but fired right up and drove out. The thing just does not die and still have Vette's and V's (Cadillac) trying to race it on the highway for some reason, packing a relatively stock 305. Was even thinking today about pulling the motor/trans and getting everything to do a rebuild on both, doesn't need it but would be fun

S2000 I've had for 10.5 years, currently at 173k miles and enjoying just about every one

Trailblazer was bought with a blown radiator, but the double suck was GM put the transmission cooler in the bottom of the radiator so the fluids mixed and pink sludge was clogging up the motors coolant passages. That has since been taken care of and it's a nice truck. Not quite as nice as my old Escalade but it'll do lol

The Volt is about 6 months old now and a fun little thing. Not as fun as the Camino or S2000 but a different type of fun I suppose. And when you're showing properties every day, having something that looks good, fits in everywhere, and easy on gas, helps.

Nice i was mostly wondering how the volt fit into all that. S2000's look like a lot of fun, i got to work on one once.

It was pristine. I should've kept it.
