06-08 Civic

im gonna need lots of dynamat, my honda rattles alot. so the civic porbably does too
done that.. takes a LONG *** time but my doors are completely sealed off

i also deadened the whole trunk floor, trunk lid and some of the cabin floor.. and stuffed the hollow parts above the rear tires with polyfill

so now my car is very quite on the road.. drives like a luxury car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
Here is the outside of mine......I stayed with 15's on the rims...because its a hybrid and I want to keep it at 40+mpg...the tint is 35 all the way around...The stock chrome grill was replaced with a real carbon fiber grill......
you can get bigger rims and smaller tires and keep the same mpg

 
I love the new Civics styling and what not, but I test drove a bone stripped LX w/5-speed and the car was a dog. My car isn't fast by any means ('01 Accord EX Coupe w/5-speed), but the Civic didn't hold a candle to it...but the Si, that's a different story. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Overall the car was SUPER comfortable and the interior was typical Honda, very high quality materials with low gloss plastics with SUPER comfortable, bolstered seats that would actually keep you in place during hard cornering.

For all you Honda haters, go drive a Civic/Accord coupe and run the hell out of it and tell me you didn't have fun, they are a blast to drive with the 5-speed in them. Even though the Civic I drove was a dog, it was still fun and handled nicely and visibility was outstanding, from what I can remember.

If I was in the market for a new car and could afford the insurance, I'd be driving a black Si as we speak. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Honda makes one hell of a car, and you can't go wrong with them either, resale value is best in the business and reliability is up to par with Toyota/Lexus/Buick, which are best in the automotive business right now.

And I drive the piss out of my car and still manage 22-26 mpg PURE city, stop and go. I know Fusion_FREAK drove the hell out of his car too and was managing somewhere around 30 mpg CITY. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I was never in to Honda's until I drove my Accord, and walked away with a HUGE smile. I can fix anything myself, super easy to work on, and the cost to maintain is stupid cheap. The car was built nearly 8 years ago and there isn't one squeak or rattle in the interior, none. And Fusion-FREAK's '97 Civic with nearly 200,000 miles on it didn't have a squeak or rattle present either.

Honda FTW.

that sucks dude. did u shift it too much. or floor it too much
You can't shift an automatic ****** unless it has ... as they like to call it on Top Gear "a flappy-paddle gearbox". Theres no putting it from D1 to D2 to D3. Those people are dumb and it doesnt do anything. I might have been on the gas a bit when I was a little younger, but honestly it was Honda's fault. The 00-02 accord automatics are known to be garbage. They replaced it for free.

True dat homie. Honda doesn't fare too well with Automatic trannies. GM still makes the best automatics in the business, by far. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
