Buckeye1647545503 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I personaly like hondas over toyotas and ether of those 2 hondas will be miles ahead in the driver fun section so you will not dispise it in 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Don't buy a new Crown Vic. I hear they're having issues with their door trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I have narrowed it down to Fits, Yaris, and Civic. Don't complain to CR when you want to slit your wrists in 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 also used rates are around 4.5 for 60 monts. I'm sure on this 07 we can get 72 as well. w.a.c. Who in there right mind buys a car with a 72-mo term? He's buying a cheap car. If he can't afford it in 36-48 months or less than it's out of his price range...

wagner Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Don't complain to CR when you want to slit your wrists in 6 months. I am just looking for something simple, no fun It may not be my dream car, but it will get me closer to it (in theory) Who in there right mind buys a car with a 72-mo term? He's buying a cheap car. If he can't afford it in 36-48 months or less than it's out of his price range... I am not doing another car out for 72 months, I have learned my lesson there.

Richard Cranium Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'd pick up a 96-00 civic personally, and drive it until the wheels fall off. There was a clean silver 4 door on cl a week or two ago, 102k, original owner, all maintenance records, $3500obo, not sure if it sold yet. I love my '96 civic. It's bare bones, 5-speed and runs like a top. It has no balls what so ever, but for reliable, cheap transport it's great. I'd buy another in a heart beat if this one dies.

Got-Boost? Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 ton's of people ...and people wonder why they have financial problems. Let me guess they put zero down and don't understand why they can never get ahead on the laon... :gtfo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Speed S4 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I work for the honda dealer as a writer. I would say get an 01-05 Civic. They are the most reliable and just make sure you do t-belt service at 110K or 7 years, and keep up on 30k services and you'll be fine. ive seen them often with 350k miles running perfect if maintained.

Nitrousbird Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 If you are going to buy a shit box, don't blow 13k on one. Could about snake into a high mileage early C5 for 13k (14-15k for sure). Toss on some snow tires, and you can enjoy decent fuel mileage and have something you will enjoy driving. ...and people wonder why they have financial problems.

im faster Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Buy a 5k or less civic or accord spend less than 1k to replace maintance items and tires and rock it for years with no problems. This Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 My accord had around 170k when I got into a wreck. Rock solid, and I beat on the car. My recommendation is to look for a V6 6-speed accord. Runs fine on any grade of gas, gets up to 42 on the highway (observed). Quick, too. Fun + MPG = best daily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustlestiltskin Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 RSX Type S This. They can be had for that money easily. I borrowed my friend's 02 and got nearly 40mpg on the freeway. If you're easy on the gas, the thing sips fuel. these. rsx type s. I'm even looking at them now again. can find 02-03 ones for under $8k all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned my lesson a long time ago about modded daily drivers. That and I really don't want to deal with any additional Honda transmission issues. Your car is very nice and a good deal.
