Not bad performance wise for being stock i'm impressed. Solid as a rock thanks to honda, they always build a quality ride. Stylish look's from the blades to the leather. Just broke 100k changed timing belt, water pump and it runs like a champ. Pretty fun to drive, definatley needs to be lowered due to body roll.

recently bought at a steal. great little car getting 40mpg and will blow the doors off most anything off the line. Vtec hits at around 4000 rpm believe me u fell it and hear it super fun to drive if your not afraid to brake a few laws. Could be a lil more solid specially with the struts replaced a few but they were in hard shape when i bought it and i do live on a dirt road. i said this car was a GS-R because I'm sure it has the GS-R engine (B18b Vtec DoHc) in it its really a LE (limited edition) its lowered what i believe to be 2 inches. the reason i got it so cheap s because there was a "power and fuel economy" problem which just didnt make sense so had it checked turns out it was just the timing belt. Now a bit of the bad its got a strange rattle in the passenger door doubt its anything major and there was a smell of burnt rubber from underneath i figures its somethin touching the exhaust. where it is lowered it is actually to low not so bad now i have new struts but if u have it fully loaded with four people driving on the highway when u hit a dip u can hear the shocks bottom out.

awesome power, stylish body, large variety of upgradable aftermarket parts avaliable.

well iguess its reliable the motor spun a rod bearing at 125,000 miles but the kid who i bought it off of beat it up pretty bad. parts are cheap. 1.8 and 200 hrs with mods is respectable. good gas milage. forgiving transmission. good in snow. girls seem to like it. Its loud. the interior is nice. the motor goes in any civic. it can be stolen in under 5 min.
