civics...would you get anything else instead?

would you get anyhitng other than a civic? you own one now but will you upgrade to a new one or will you go bigger andf better? or will u be a civic owner till you die? someitmes ppl post on here and it seems as if they will ALWAYS drive a civic.. to me i think this is just a phase for me till i get older and wiser ... i would definatley want to go bigger and better later on..maybe come back to a civic when i want only reliability and not looks and style

discuss

Iwill prob drive mine till IT dies, then something better/ different. Personally, I would like to upgrade, try new things. You really limit youself in life if you don't try new things. However, Hondas are pretty damn good.
I would like to get into a WRX, and when the threat of children comes, maybe an Odessey, or Magnum Hemi. Who knows.

I'm going to look at something with 4 doors next.
IS300.
TSX.
STi.
MAYBE and SRT-4.
And a few others.

I want something that I'm not going to sink a lot of money into.

But if I decide against that.
And want to sink money into something.

Either.
Supra.
RX-7.
or maybe see how much I could get a Skyline for.

Well I'm going to keep my civic after the lease is done and use that as our family car, then Im going to go get myself an S2000 to play with. Marty can't be the only one in the family with a sporty convertible!

Lots of nice cars out there but it all comes down to gadgets and name brand. My car does the work for me. I will buy/drive what I can afford and what I want to afford.

I just sunk $2,200 into mine so I am going to be keeping it for awhile. No, seriously I am going to drive it till it dies and then probably get another. I had a 2005 Civic as a rental car and I liked it too. They are great commuters and excellent on gas. You can't beat the Honda quality.

I can see me changing cars but I will (at least at the moment) always have a Civic to play with.

The way I see it, your car's MRSP should be about 80% of your annual salary. Even if you could afford a more costly vehicle, there should always be nesting set aside for unexpected events, i.e. losing your job.

I won't be getting a new car for a while but, when i do i doubt it will be a civic. The only time ill buy another civic is strictly for commuting or as a winter beater. I want RWD!!!

I have already 2 Civics, and I still think that if I were to get another car I would get a Civic again or maybe a CSX or used TSX.

Other cars I have thought about getting are the Subaru Impreza, Audi A3, and Volvo S40. We'll see what I'll end up getting this fall.
