2003 Civic Si at dealer with 95,000 miles, totally stock, Grand Rapids Michigan. My wife’s ran to 200,000 miles without a problem before we traded it on a new ‘17 Civic coupe. It drove like new when we sold it. You could buy it and get another 10 years easily.

Link or search on Autotrader

And my wife liked hers. Not only that but the guy that bought it liked it too. If you like cars, especially with sticks, this is one to look at.

Unless you are a tall person. I recently looked at a couple of these. No head room and no telescoping wheel make it hard to fit

Your Best is not my Best.. 10 years without doing anything to it sounds like a nightmare..

Civics in general are expensive as hell to insure in Ontario, since they’ve been Canada’s best-selling car for a couple decades (read: they’re everywhere) and they’re popular with youths (read: careless owners).

I’m 26 so still technically a kid, I think. I can confirm. This kid likes it.

Odd to say, my wife has had 2 civics each for more than 10 and so have I. Plus I have had 2 Honda race cars each for more than 10. Different strokes I guess...

Plus a total lack of car payments......

of course between the lots are 2 CRX, a Del Sol VTEC, 3 SI and a type r so I guess we are not suffering for stimulation

Best is subjective. I don’t need that much space, I do need more fun. I’d spend that 5 on an Mr2 and never look back :)

Good buy tho
