Powerfull — sporty. light. fast. rare item. jdm parts. quick accleration. good handling with tein soft hi low absorber. need to convert to k20 engine. save gas. low mileage. the vtec is really fun to drive. exterior and interior need to be well taken care.

It Is A Fun Project Car :) — This was also an "A to B" car, but i wish i could do stuff to it, as in a K20 swap with a fine tune. But that day never came because the cars fate would be upside down on black ice. To be honest i miss it...

My Civic Hatchback — Ok, I just got the car and I really do like it! I have some work to put into it (Paint and such) but it is excellent otherwise! The only downside of this car is that there is no AC...or cruise...CD...proper speakers...or power anything! lol

Loved It — The car was a great car to drive...it was very fun to drive as it was a manual. It had some issues with the transmission and brake systems but those may have been from the hard driving both the preivious owner and I put it through.

Treat To Ride — It's my honda. A great car to drive. Acceleration is well over other cars in same class. Maintenance is easy if you did servicing on time. It hardly needs any replacements. Its a ride that every one should try once at least. Happy to be a Honda fan boy

It's Amazing. — Averages about 30 mpg city driving and about 40 highway. Fun and quick little car to drive. Built like a tank. There's never been a time where it has stranded me or not started or anything. No problems at all. Through all the heat and cold, always starts, runs, drives. Look forward to driving my baby into the ground. :) It's a Honda, what else would you expect ? ;)
