My first car was a 98 civic coupe and it was the best car I've ever owned. Zippy and agile, I had so much fun in that thing before passing it off to my sister for her starter car. I now own a 2000 accord which was perfect for the first 6 or so years but now it's starting to show its age, especially with the electronics. But regardless, for how little I've spent on maintenance that car has paid for itself. I'm a honda guy for life.

(Hopefully a moderator will approve my post in the 00 accord forums )
