If you are interested in great gas mileage, then you'll love it. But my guess is that your interest is elsewhere.

if you change the head to a z6 head and add a home built turbo set up they can be pretty fun

Unless you like 90hp, they suck real bad.

i'd love to have a stock civic VX for a daily driver. so many of them get molested, just like the 92-95 Civic Si hatchbacks.

yeah its sad. i looked for a stock vx for a while and could never find one that was actually a VX in good condition. i had to quit my search and look for something else. i've wanted a VX for the last 2 years. it's hard to pass up better MPG's than most hybrid vehicles.

i would keep running into this crap

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac...982442884.html

and i would never pay $4000 for a car with 230,000 miles that needs that much paint and body work.

Come to Canada. They sell in the $700 to 1000 range, bone stock around Toronto. Usually needs some rust repair work but otherwise fine. Same price about as the Si, usually. These days you are even starting to find second/third-hand JDM RHD imported vehicles reselling for $3000 - $4000 bone stock without a speck of rust.
