    This is far too radical.

    The Honda Civic is a reliable car with a solid price point.

      Probably why it is mentioned. It’s a very popular first car for those reasons and means there’s a damn good chance that is what will show up in the driveway. They aren’t shitting on the car in my opinion.

      Yeah I had my (5 speed) civic till someone hit me & totalled it. Got an accord sport 6 speed and still have it, it’s 12 now and still such a joy to drive. I don’t drive much now so hopefully it lasts 12 more.

      My brother got 300k miles on his Honda.

      It’s funny, my first car had 3 gears, second one 4 gears, the Civic had 5, and this one has 6 but also the best manual transmission I have ever encountered.

      Yeah, that’s why carbrains hate it. A “real man” drives a huge truck rolling coal.

    • I love my Honda Civic!

      That was 6 years ago now. How time flies. <3

      Here’s the best feature a car can ever have.

      Kitties on the dashboard screen!!

      Here’s a more recent picture. One of the wheels had a valve stem hole that wasn’t in line with a lugnut hole, meaning the wheel covers wouldn’t fit. I bought an OEM wheel to replace it and put the wheel covers on, and it looks way better now.

          I had an EG hatch back in the day, now a WRX. The Civic was more fun. The Subaru makes me feel grown up. Gotta do all these adult things like change the gearbox fluid when you’re actually supposed to, else the gearbox explodes like a dropped beer.

            I miss my subie. It was a temperamental pain in the ass, but it was a good car with some good memories. 😆

        • It’s a 2012. It’s the first year of the 9th gen so yours would have been between 06-11. Not a lot of exterior differences between 2011 and 2012, but the instrument cluster did get a pretty radical overhaul.

            Sometimes they’ll keep making the older gen of a popular model concurrently with the first run of the newer gen, so you’ll end up with a manufacture date in the new gen’s model year. I don’t know if this has happened with Civics specifically, but it seems likely given how common they are.

              Also model year and first registration date can and do differ and which one is used to say what year a car is, largely depends on where you’re from.

      I traded up my civic for a bolt. It felt civic-minded. Cuz man i got the lemon.

      Loved that civic, but zero regrets. This ev is way better.
