After dealing with the mechanical headache that is my truck (94 S-10) I think we've decided to try and unload it for a car. For that car I'm leaning towards a Honda Civic. Anybody have any experience with these things? We're looking at something cheap, like 95-97 with probably at least 100k miles on it, how much longer would you expect it to last? There are no major mechanical failures after a certain number of miles that maybe I should be aware of? Anything in paticular to look for in an used one?
I'm sure some of you are wondering why I'm going with a rice car such as the Civic. Basically, I want to lower it, add a body kit, huge wing, exhaust tip, and huge system. No, just kidding. :laugh: Actually, we don't really need a truck around the house anymore. Plus, this car will be passed to my younger sister when she starts to drive next year (when I'll get something better, I'm thinking Jetta, to go to college in), and I'm tired of getting 16 mpg on the frickin highway. As much city driving as I do (90%) I need something with good gas mileage.
