What made you buy your cars shape

Always been a fan of Hondas and my previous ride was a hatch, so when I came across my civic I just had to have it

I had a worked RX impreza, but needed more power! But insurance factor meant it had to be NA- and nobody does that beter than Honda! Reasearched & planned long b4 buying, and decided on EG civic for cost, ease of transplant, plus i just liked the shape better.

When im buying a car (I know this is going to sound VERY strange) but I always look at the "bum" (the boot) of the car. If its got a cute bum I will buy it.
I own a EG civic and a DELSOL crx....both very cute bums. I got the crx cause i was sick of being everyones taxi, so i decided on a 2 seater, solved that problem. Plus when i did want people in the back i got sick and tired of moving the seat forward all the time.
Hehehehehehe

Well I always wanted an EG Hatcb VTec but could only afford an ED hatch but I loved that little car anyway

But times change and pays get bigger and bam!!! I got my EG5 VTec

The bubble shape IMO is the best shape Honda ever made

And good power gains to be had with Stage 2 cam and so on a D16Y1

EK1 sedan coz got it for a bargain at the time!! just have always been a fan of sedans, they've got a bulky toughness about them... didn't matter weather 4 door or coupe now... no rear interior!!! its like having an enclosed ute now...!

btw- thumbs up for the d16y!! SOHC all the way!!

I always liked the eg hatches, but all my friends at the time had 2 doors and it was such a pain in the ass having to climb around the front seats when ur pissed so i bought a sedan, heaps more convenient, it's only a GLi tho, but it kicks my friends lancers so it's all good haha

I had a R33 Gtst, until a lady helped write it off for me...plus the insurance on it was a killer...so i decided to go for something smaller, cheaper on the insurance, looked good done up and had potential for future engine mods. So i bought an EK...

to tell the truth when i got my car i didnt really care, i just wanted a car. At the time in my area there was either a silver hatch, or a white sedan. The hatch's engine was making funny noises when we took it for a test drive so i got the sedan. After a while i found out how sexy civics could be and fell in love with other hondas too. Now i either want a coupe or an s2k. Prolly end up with the coupe coz s2ks are pricey, and coupe has a bit more space to move inside.
