Before you bought this car, did you hesitate and realize you're buying the new Civic?

I don't think it really matters. I believe the average eye can see when care and effort was put into a car vs. something that was done half ass-ed or wrong. Sometimes I see Civics and I wonder why they even bothered modding it and other times I see civics that I know have been modded to a personal taste and look pretty good. I don't mind anyone who mods their car with care and personal taste in mind...I do mind when they put a loud ass no-name exhaust on and they're missing a hub cab and their struts are blown.

When I sold my '95 Civic coupe, and my wife's '02 Si hatch, we got good money because they weren't riced out pieces of poo. Just something to consider...
Insurance on the other hand, not much we can do about that.

Only a couple years old and there's a ton with plastidip all over them. We are off to a bright start but as long as you keep yours pristine who cares. My insurance has only gone down so far

Well shit, spread the love. Btw, took a trip to Daytona the other day. I'm sorry, but that place is a shit hole.

You're being very biased in your statement. Besides, do you even know what "rice" means?

The new civic? I was aware that it would be a popular car which is bound to get riced out but by if you've looked out there lately civics are still civics. If anything you have more kids in hyundai genesis coupe 2.0s with blow off valves revving up in parking lots to get attention. The FRS an option in todays market. If you can afford an FRS chances are you've looked at a gen coupe, 370z, hell pretty much any sports car south of 40k. It's all affordable with financing. If anything the civic crowed moved on to the 350z since so many are out there and at a cheap price. Beating the dead horse again with the whole ricer thing is getting so old lol

Nah even if the car was expensive its no guarantee to keep the douchebags or the ricers away. We only need to use the BMW M3 as the prime example. Expensive cars, where it seems all are douchebag drivers. They're less prone to being riced new because there's a high change they're leased, but when they become used, they're targeted.

This isn't really the "new" Civic. Its a far harder car to convince a naive mother to buy it for herself but also for you to drive as well. Most don't see the harm in buying a normal looking sedan. This car, they immediately assume you're going to race people and they were never part of the equation.

New 240SX? That's probably the closest equivalent.

That type of thinking seems...logical.

So when more people who drive these cars get into accidents, it doesn't raise insurance rates for these cars?
