Personally I'd like something a bit bigger and more practical, like a Sedan or small SUV/Truck. But, I'd also like something with a but more performance and something that is decent stock so I don't have to spend time/money modifing it.

TSX, WRX, IS300, Accord, Civic Si Sedan.
CRV, Tacoma or the new Toyota FJ Cruiser is pretty sweet.
I'd love an RSX, but I can't see my wife and having 2 Coupes forever.

Honda makes great car's and they will always be one of my first choices.

my next major car purchase at this point will be an STi, but i will always have a civic for something to play with

i own a golf at the moment, but i think if i could afford it i would get a 67 pontiac GTO with a 502 big block.

Probably save for a while and drive this car till it dies, or turn it into a winter beater and grab a used TSX or WRX.

imported_Joker

so you will store the TSX or WRX? wow..thats another thing i dont understand... why do ppl store their civics? unless they are pure show cars.. that arent driveable ( like that guy that wants 19" chromies) why store them? get some winter tires and ur set

I've already left the civic scene. I couldn't see myself driving the same thing over and over when there's such a large selection of vehicles out there. I'd like to drive other makes and models as well. I'm now currently part of the 9th Gen Toyota Corolla Club and Suzuki Katana (Thats right, I've moved on to bikes now..... ) I'm no hater but things just change; different priorities, financial status, and so on, but life continues. As for storing the civic away, gotta have money to do that and if its a 'show' car.

I actually like drivin these lil ****boxes....but then now i am gettin a TSX startin march....i juss love the way these things save gas and r so afforadable and r so small....i love small cars....the TSX is juss so ****ty in my opinion slow as hell...

Might as well get the TL, almost the same price.

Gallagher

i'll prolly have my car for along time.....but wont buy another civic......



I dont want a car that I will have to start modding...or at least be enticed to mod it.....


So, no more buying civics as a daily driver.....maybe s2k for a summer car......

RajunCajun

I'd never store the civic, I'd just use it to take to work. I work construction so my car drives over bad terrain and is ALWAYS dirty inside and out. Plus all the gear I need to carry, I'd like a car that's nice and I can keep clean. Civic for work, nice car for play. I'd store neither.

TL is much much more....my TSX is like 43gs off the lot base model, while a TL is like 52gs base model AT

SugaDaddy

Upgrading my baby and after that I will have to say GOODBYE to my baby ... and go for LEXUS

imported_Joker

^^ wtf does that mean ? upgrading then leaving?

imported_D dot T

Really? My co-worker just picked up a TL w/ the sport package that has the brembo brakes, manual transmission, and etc. for $50K as final price, this was a few months ago. Similar TSX would cost you close to $45K or more. Few more K and you got yourself a TL with much more power and luxury. But hey, maybe the price went up this year.

Pimpin-EL

well, last week i was at North Toronto Acura, the Salesman told me that i would be lookin at 52gs w/nothin....1 g more for manual....but 52gs is taxed in already....n i bought my tsx base model, not even auto for 43gs taxed in n stuff

imported_climax

will be getting a honda civic next june or honda fit depending on cost and whats avaliable.. company wants me to have a new more reliable car and brand new so depends on what's around, but I love the honda family so Ill stick with that.

imported_rbjeepthing

I think i'd buy an A3 or a New GTI for the cost of a new Civic. Apparently in these reviews the editor doesn't even consider the new Civic as a competitor!...lol

This Civic is my first "real" car. The car was bought for me, so it has sentimental value. I intend to hold onto it. I may get other cars but I think I'll always have the Civic. Ideally I'd like to have about 5-6 cars to play around with.

shlammed

yes

definately

my next car will not be a civic

imported_EH_94_Civic
