6th gen vs 7th gen civic

[iLlusion10]

Is it worth spending a little bit more to get a 7th gen civic, like is there less problems, btw this isn't for me, just someone who needs a practical reliable car, like he doesn't want to modify it and vtec isn't a big deal for him.

both 6th gen and 7th gen are made in japan, its 8th gen that is made in thailand.
I think for a daily driver a 7th gen is perfect, iv had the 7th gen sedan before, apart from finding the seats alittle uncomfortable it was a great car. btw iv noticed the resale value of the 7th gen is pretty crap compared to the resale value held by the 5th and 6th gen civics.

Actually the 7th gen sedan is made in thailand too, still very nicely built.

Unless it is a Hybrid then you are driving a Thai built car. Civic 4DR was built in Thailand since 2002 and all 5DR's and Hybrids came out of Japan

Oil pump failure is starting to be a common issue with the es/eu civic. All drive is lost. Problem rectified around 04 cheapest fix a second hand 04 ES trans from the wreckers as renewing oil pump and burnt clutches will be costly.
