@Op .... No. The civic actually has a decent build quality and is paired with a well tuned engine. Also, the civic will hold its retail value far better than the twins ever could

Civics are actually the LEAST Riced cars IMO.

#1 Would have to be the Chrysler 300, followed closely by base-model Cadillacs & Camaros.

Much like video games where if you die then you're a noon. If you win then your a hacker.

No one can win.

This is correct. No one will admit to it though.

OP, get over yourself, quit dictating to others what they should do with their own property and enjoy your own car, or don't; It's yours to put in a hermetically sealed display case or bolt a huge wing too; go for it!

Ha ha ha ha ha. Dude you do nothing but troll on the cars the forum is about but heaven forbid anybody say anything bad about your bloody precious Civic. You imeaditly turn into the fanboy that you love so much to call other on here. There is a reason the Civic gets held up as the most riced and to deny that is just plain foolish. Hilarious!

And to those of you who say "don't care what others say, do what you like", do you appreciate that your car's value is dwindling and your insurance is going up because people don't know how to drive these? When they first came out, the BRZ and FR-S were looked at as great looking, sweet cars by most people. They are still great to the people that appreciate what they do. It just sucks that the general public is starting to see these cars as loud, obnoxious, riced out cars.

The more I go through Facebook groups and see what people are doing to their cars, it just annoys the shit out of me. Sorry if you think I shouldn't get annoyed by it, but the more and more people do that shit, the more that these cars get lumped into the "rice" group.

/rant
I agree with what your saying and i think about the same thing in regards to these cars becoming ricers dreams. Luckily there is not many in Canada and the current owners are either keeping them stock or clean. I've only seen a few bad ones, like yesterday, one with a GT wing

However i know many idiots will get a hold of these cars sadly...it's why I plan to keep my clean and never sell it so nobody can rice it out haha

I could care less how many get riced. In fact the more the better. Just look at how much it drives the value up on unaltered versions of the other cars that are popular ricers

Instead of being worth $500 twenty years later they're worth $1,500?

I mean, I guess a threefold increase is nothing to sneeze at...

Actually, I can't even post in here. My car is considered "rice" according to some of you guys' opinions. Oh well.

These cars are already going up in value...

$40,000 for a brz azora with 17,000km.....>__<

I'll probably put mine up for $45,000 cause it has a trd spoiler and toyota badges and only 10,000km!
