Ok my 2000 Civic EX was stolen and totaled so i was gonna get an RSX. I went to get it today and with my credit not being the best my payments would be really high. So i test drove the 2002 EX and it was pretty nice.....nothing like the Type S of coarse....but nice and the payments would be right. I just wanted opinions on the 2002 Civic, I dont know much about the newer Civics.
Thanks

 

well it's just like any ex before it.. it's comfortable..has some spunk in it.. and is relaible except for those plastic Intake manifolds they use..but why don't u maybe look at other vechiles as well.. honestly if u choose to build the civic 02 ex up You will not have the support you saw with the earlier model civics..but all in all a good car and nothing to bad to say to it really

 

1.7...?

 

my $.02

my parents have a 2002 dx and i've driven it quite a few times. i have some issues with its exterior and interior, but it is a pretty fun to drive. if i had a choice, i'd probably get a 2000 because i think it has a good balance of looks, layout, and handling.

 

yup

 

1.7??? sorry you lost me?

as far as another 2000 i already had one but i would like something new.
Ive been looking for a GS-R or a Prelude...but trying to find one is a joke

 

i think he meant 1.7 litre... but i could be wrong

hehe i hear ya on the gs-r part... i've been lookin for one too

 

1.7 refers to displacement, which I dont know off hand from 02 civics

Get what you want man, it's your car that you will be driving (hopefully) for a long time (if its not stolen again... F*** THEIVES...) Go with what you like inside and out, I love my lx but I dont like the auto, so I wanna trade it for a 6th gen 2dr or hatch that is a stick because I love the look of those years and I fell in love with my car's interior (I HAD traded it in for a 93 mx-3 V6 that was m/t but I just missed the civic so much even though it was an auto I had to get my baby back )

I'm rambling, basically get what YOU want and are comfortable with, as for modding... it's a . What else is there to say???

 

personally i wouldnt buy a new car..id be hunting down a 99 si if u want d to stay with a honda product..when u get ..post up again for tips on how to keep it from being stolen
