:-)­ They're too expensive because they hold their value WAY too long,
and they're worth buying even if the mileage seems high . . . and
here's your caveat:(­unless they were driven by a teenager who wears a
Metallica T-shirt). :-)­

 When mated with a 5spd tranny, it's the best Civic ever made. The automatic
is 'too big' for the engine and guzzles gas (my wife's automatic returns
8.8L/100km while my 5spd returns 6.8L/100km).

I tend to drive as if I'm on the race track and after 215,000km of abuse,
the car still drives like new. The tranny has gotten noisier, but it'd
require a sensitive ear to tell the difference.

Exterior is excellent and no rust, but the driver's cockpit looks like it's
gone through hell. The 3/9 o'clock hand position on steering wheel has worn
through to the softer (but more grippy) core. All the rubber has been worn
away from the clutch peddle to expose the metal underlay. The floor mat has
a large hole from my heavy right foot. The left edge of the seat has worn
through to expose it's spongy guts. The windshield is constantly dirty from
the thousands of tinny stone chips. Even with all the hard driving, all the
component in the engine is still original (except for spark plugs, timing
belt and water pump). Tranny is also all original.

really? just curious why youd say that. not that im disputing you- i
have a 98CX, 5-spd. 48k miles and i could easily see myself keeping this
car another 15-20 years. no matter how tempting the scion xA is to me!

im a big fan of the 88-91 gen civic. always have been, although ive
never owned one. i like the low cowl, wedgy profile, and that they
offered up a really nice Si hatch.

honda could have sold a lot more 96-00 hatches if theyd offered one with
an EX or integra motor, maybe a few power amenities, like windows and
locks... and a sunroof. but then whod want a integra?
