My first ever car was a 95 civic 2-door. Beat it to hell, fucked up a wheel so that there was a 1/4" of clearance between tire and wheel well, the exhaust fell off, the computer was starting to act up, and I still kick myself for letting my friend talk me into selling it for a 2003 ford escape. That got sold for a song after I fucked up the engine head trying to fix the second popped spark plug it had…
I’m hanging on to my sub $1000 beater. Late 90s Civic with 240k miles and no clear coat still has better mpg than our newish CRV.
My 2022 crv hybrid gets about the same mileage as my wife’s stick shift 2012 civic!
20 years ago I bought a civic for $1200 from Craigslist. Sold it 10 years ago for $1600. They’re great cars.
