So my girlfriend lets me talk her into a civic after months of talking her outta a Hyundai elantra. Good. The bad thing is she picked a *** blue 4 door dx automatic. So for her birthday I'm gonna hook her up with some wheels and maybe something else to make it look better. Keep in mind she could never drive anything lowered cause she doesn't pay attention enough. She'd kill the car trying to straddle a dead raccoon or something.

I wish I could find wheels that would look decent at stock height and in orange. Any ideas?

 

What is *** blue?

 

Rhymes with rag,bag,nag,gag etc but HT blocked it. The fairy looking girl blue color that's a lot lighter than 4 door si blue. Aka "pretty" to my gf haha

 

orange wheels on a blue car? you wanna make it look worse?

 

She brought it up I'm a fan of odd colored wheels so I might go for it

 

What year Civic? If it's a new Civic vs a new Elantra then I would go with the Elantra without thinking twice. The new Hyundai's are much nicer than the old ones and much nicer than the newer Civic's IMO.

 

2009. We test drove an elantra and it felt cheap inside. Plus the Honda civic has been one of the most reliable compact cars for 20+ years and Hyundai still has a way to go In my eyes. I've seen a lot of warranty work on them for things like rotten subframes. If they can't figure out how to make drain holes that doesn't say much.

 

The only year Hyundai I would buy would be 2011 and up before that I wouldn't spend my money on. I've test driven a 2011 Elantra and a turbo Sonata and found them both to be very nice cars I would purchase if I was ready for a new car but I've started to like my Civic and how easy it is to improve and work on.

Don't get me wrong I like the Civic and I find it hard to go wrong with just about any model of them especially when it comes to reliability and solid fuel economy.

 

I agree that they're getting better than they used to be. The looks don't do anything for me on the elantra. I would possibly drive a genesis turbo but I'm never test diven one. They arent bad looking and its a hybrid Hyundai/Mitsu motor which is a plus.

 

Put a set of GPs on it. They compliment all Civics, even the sparkly blue ones!

 

any updated pic?

 

Of the girlfriend?

 

equality.

Put some deuces on it. Call it a day.

 

Or you could spend that money on something SHE wants... if she's happy with the car, why bother wasting money for your own selfish need?

 

she did want the orange rims see above. It was her idea lol
