I'm 15 and i'll be gettin my permit in bout a month.. Like you guys im a honda enthusiast and also feel like i want to be behind the wheel of a ek !! So i ask you.. My budget for my first car would be bout 3000 dollars.. Dunno wat to get.. Any suggestions?

I will prolly be using this car until i hit enuff money to buy another car which would prolly be when i graduate college.. hehe so any suggestions? Years? Make? Model? lol anything? Thanks alots !!

 

You could get a good condition 92-95 civic SI [EG]. Make sure its a stick

 

Thats probably your best bet, also do some searching and lots of reading up on different models and what people have done to them to get a feel for what YOU like. We really cant tell you what to buy, thats a decision you need to make on your own.

In my sig theres a good del sol thread with some good info on them for your reading pleasures.

 

if i were you i'd go with a midori Green Ek...i love that color



or captiva blue Eh2 (92-95 si hatch)

 

this green civic is just asking to get jacked....

 

will when i first got my car back when i was 15 it was a 1992 Honda Civic Si...i work'd my *** off for my Old 2001 Acura Integra GSR...Then DId the JDM FRONTEND converison....Now im 17 and i finish'd high school earlie so i recently bought a 05 STI...but a EG hatch or coupe will do just fine...or if you like the Older Civic, CRX models...but not to much power...

i'll ask him tomorrow

 

even though you said you want to be behind the wheel of an ek, youre not going to be able to afford a decent one with only $3000... your best bet like everyone else is saying is probly an eg... even then its hard to find one with good mileage, but hondas can go for a long time. you'll have roughly 3-4 years with this car... and depending on if youre gonna have a job or not, you can make it out to be one hell of a car

 

Your just gonna have to buy one then sell it, then buy another car and sell it if you want a good car for college and a fast car to...

 

Does anyone else notice that this 15 year old has better grammar than most 20+ year olds here on HT? way to go

 

get a 92 hatch, stick. then spend some time in the security forums. instal a manual fuel cut off. dont want your hard earned cash stolen

 

for 3k you should get a crx man. but it all depends on what you want out of your car. ie. looks, comfort, future mods, etc.

 

well for 3k you can find an ek hatch if you keep your eyes open. i just got mine in almost perfect condintion(2,500$) except the paint is chipping a little got it from some old people car is in great condition. sounds like you have some time you don't really need to get car when you first start to drive. think about it if you crash don't you wanna wreck your moms suv instead of your ek? my first car was a crx it is just as cool as my ek. maybe look at all the models unless you already have your mind made up
