Pros/ Cons- Honda Civic SIR

[Nalgene]

Thinking about buying a 2002 Honda Civic SIR.
Im sure there are people here that own one. I would like to hear the pros and cons of them. Like insurance, gas, reliability, etc.
Any other opinions welcome.
Thanx

There's also a review by AsianCaucasian, but I couldn't find it and didn't feel like waiting for this slow ass 28.8K connection to load.

better power and engine than older civics....if you like the styling i sayu go for one......other than that its a sweet car but some would need to get used to the styling

[d-UNiT]

the first time i saw one i totally fell in love, i was gonna get an integra but i couldnt help it.. i had to get the civic.. the car has a little kick, good on gas, fun to drive, awesome handling and the dash mounted shifter is so much more comfortable,.. and dont forget the endless possibilities for mods!. hope that helps you decide.. (CMX67.. has a 2004 with 7000kms takeoverlease for 320/mon or something)..

[Nalgene]

Yeah im seriously contemplating buying one. It seriously is one of my favorite cars. I love the styling.
Stampede toyota has a 2002 SIR for just under 20k with 35k kms. Im tempted but at the same time need to think about going back to school and other major expenses. Man I hate priorites.

Edit
Whats "CMX67"?

[d-UNiT]

whoa thats a pretty good price, check out that one for the take over lease though, i should have got that one.. less kms lower payments.. just a high residual... aw well...

You can modify leased cars.

I dont think Ill be doing much modding to it. Im seriously considering it, weighing my options.

[sl888]

Do it! I absolutely love my car. When I was first deciding on which car to buy I was THE only one who chose the SiR over the rest and damn am I glad.

just test drove one

cons

looks like a spaceship
slow as shit
terrible traction on their shit ass shit tires
fuckin spaceship

pros
its a honda

[Nalgene]

well no worries, not getting one. Rethought my priorities. Car is not at the top of the list, school is. So I am getting a much cheaper car. Thanx for your opinions though.

1 spaceship - wrong
2 slow as shit - wrong
3 terrible traction on their shit ass shit tires - correct
4 fucking spaceship - where you belong

[Foreign1]

donovan.. do not kid yourself. it is a mini minivan... and slow.

cool nonetheless.. wanna trade?

haha

[88CRX]

haha, i love the mini minivan comments.... seriously though who gives a shit about the haters. if you like the look and feel of it get one, simple as that

[Skyline_Addict]

the car feels decent, you get what you pay for, i think.

it definetely needs more power, and better traction and control, but that's nothing you couldn't change easily, especially when you're planning to modify your car anyway. it's a good platform to start on, they have some potential. spend your money wisely and you can turn it into a pretty refined little car.

[d-UNiT]

02 SiR trade for CRX with a swapped engine.. mmm.. ya i dont think so.. i mean.. i wouldnt wanna rip you off :devil:

[SilentGiant]

I love mine...

but I have addressed most of the issues i have with it..

Eibach prokits/Tokico HP's
Larger Rims/stickier rubber
CAI/B-pipe/Exhaust
Type R Rear Sway
Strut tower brace
Motor Mounts
Engine Damper

and this spring race headers..

handles like a go cart now. :)

hey jtsimaras is your price firm?
why you selling?
i got 2 buddies in the market for ep3s

[d-UNiT]

the price is already good, they obviously are not in the market if they are being frugal about that price

[jtsimaras]

Ya the price is pretty firm as I know I can get almost the same price with a trade-in on a new truck---and that is without all the goodies.
Selling because I need a bigger truck ---
Tooo bad I love the car and it is good on gas. I even love it more than the RSX I owned previously.

Let mw know if still interested..

Or can give me or my wife a call 667-0875
