Default Anyone ever get tired of driving there Civic...?

Maybe its because I havent really fixed it up that much.

I have a 92' Si blk/blk 173,xxx miles and its had its problems.I drive it kinda hard but you have to with a 1.6 to keep up with anything.Ive thought about selling it but I wont get anything for it.

Im tired of being uncomfortable and slow and road noise and etc...

Whats some cars that would take your cars place?

Heres a couple of mine:

92' Legend coupe 5spd
91'-93' Mustang GT (I know but there cheap and fast)
Tahoe 4x4
97' Maxima SE (Even auto there alright)

Maxima. They look pretty damn hard lowered with a set of nice rims.

the acura legends from around 92-94 or so, were amazing cars. I know a lot of people who love those more than any other acura models..

i have a 92 black si with 173k on it, but a b16 swap......the only time i regret having it, is when i'm stuck in traffic. stick is a bitch in traffic

i used to hate driving my civic back when i still had the d15b8 70hp motor...

sittin in traffic with a stick blows, but after driving an auto youll realize how much you missed that stick shift...evertime i drive auto my left foot and right hand are all fidgety..it sucks

oh yeah...only thing that i would replace my civic with would probably be a motorcycle...but if i got a bike id try to keep the civic anyways, so it doesnt matter...gyea

92 Si w/ 163xxx miles on it here. I only regret the money when I realize how much $$ I still have left to put into just to get it looking good and stock....

I realize that by the time I'm happy with this car I'll have put 10k into this car, and I coulda gotten something else for that...

But, I didn't buy this car as an investment, I bought it for a hobby, so tdang.

92 Civic Si- 45,500miles(yes thats right... close to 46k...) Not sick of it yet
93 Civic Si- B18C5 had too much fun in that thing...
91 CRX Si- Doesnt move, but when it did it was fun...

I got sick of driving a Civic a few times... But that was when i drove a Audi S4 which made me think i want a luxury car over a "Civic"... But now, i have plans for my future S2000...

I love my civic even when it had the 70 hp motor. It is currently getting a nice little b20vtec put in to give it a little more pep. For some reason the mighty CX motor just felt a little slow. I had a 94 teg with a gsr motor in it, but I don't regret selling it at all for the hatch.

I agree with cxSOHChatch.

Bike all the way. Semi-cheap, and faster than almost everything on the road (if you got the *****).
And you can keep the Civic for those rainy days.

That is why I bought me a truck. whenever I feel like cruisin, sitting high and soft ride. I take the truck out.

Here's a scenerio. Ur on the stop light in ur low riding hook to the max, high reving civic when a wrangler, escalade, liberty with fine a$$ ladies inside pulled right beside you. What will you do while looking up trying to get a glimpse of their pretty faces?

heheeh.. Just trying pull some chains guys! but I do get tired or my civic sometimes.

I'd rather have the SLK320. No supercharger, just pure clean power. It's faster too! If I had all that money to spend, which I don't, I'd buy an M3.

I have the same car and I got sick of the noise and ride too, so I got the new Civic Si. It's everything I want in a car. Comfort, quiet, quick, easy to drive.
