im currently in the market for a new car and have essentially narrowed it down to a used 03 civic lx coupe and an 00 beetle gls

both fit my price range in case anyone was wondering the choice

in any case i wanted to know what the pros and cons of the civic are to help make my decision

thanks

besides looking gay in one and the crappy quality of the beetles (99's for sure)

if those are you options...get the civic y0!

 

um, maybe you should broaden your search for a car

 

probably should, but i leave for boot camp in a few months and i just need a car to take me places while im waiting

 

then why not just buy an older car and save your money until later?

 

then get a hybrid so you can save money on gas

 

1. my parents are selling the car while i'm gone, and while i'm driving i'd much rather have the comfort and safety of a newer model car

2. there are no hybrids in my area in my price range

Honestly, I'd just pick up a 96+ Civic for cheap and drive it for the next couple of months. The newer Civic is nicer, but not worth the extra money if you only plan to keep it for a little while IMHO. With that said, the newer Civic are MUCH nicer. The guages, the seats, the interior, all much much nicer.

 

You want a Beetle...

****** homo

 

get a 96-99 car with dual airbag and better safety features. No need to get a 2003-2004 car. Dont ya know that new cars just depreciate!

 

true, but is a 96-99 civic gonna go up in price?

i'm not thinking it's gonna anytime soon

Go up in price? I hope you're not saying that that 03 Civic will appreciate either. If you're set on the newer body style, look into an 01 or 02. Being used at all will help cut down on cost a lot.

 

I agree with Ricey, you should be able to find a nice 96-99 Civic in your price range.
