Opinions on 7th gen Civic

so thread closed?

i dont see why...
ppl can keep posting up things they like dislike about the 7th gen...
from my searching theres not alot of info about them anywhere

i wish we had 7th generation coupes in aus :(

and riced_civic, where did you get the RS grille from? ta.

^^^ got it from ebay really cheap, but since the $ is shit not im not to sure now, i only got it for $90aus.

i dont know y people say the turning circle if big i find it quite small for a 4door sedan ive driven my friends ED and its about the same distance

I've got an EU Vti...don't know if there's any difference in turning circle.

care to say Y

I have a '02 Civic Vi (D17A2) XD

Pros:
- Lotsa space to put ur junk in
- A pretty normal car, won't attract attention
- Good build quality (well my rear right window rattles when volume is up)
- Pretty good fuel economy, avg 500km for me.
- 4 disc brakes =)

Cons:
- Gearbox (4 Speed auto = wtfbbq!?!?, get the manual one )
- Engine (only fun up to 60kph and then its boring, don't count on going faster than 175kph)
- Handling, doesn't go around corners when u push it hard.

Otherwise if you're just looking for an everyday driver which my little 5 door hatch does for me with the odd thrashing once every blue moon its a good little car that will serve you very well. But if u count on going fast and racing this car is a no go, look for an EP3 if u wanna go fast.

actually the kit was full honda item, i bought it with the front lip, side, rear lip, spoiler & fog lights installed on the car. I got the wheels from sydney, they are 5 Zigen's, and Tein Springs + Koni Sports Adjustable Shocks, also changed the rear sway bar from DC5 Integra... :-)

Anything genuine Honda will set u back heaps =/
I dun really c the point of doing up the little hatch. Wheels and springs are cool, buh yeah its just a good run around.
How did u get the rear sways from a DC5 to fit in the EU?

Come on, the 7th gen Civic isn't that bad. It has potential. You can always do THIS!
