Okay I got around $5,000 to spend on a civic.. I heard I should get a year 2000 since their transmission don't have issues..
I want a newer civic thats going to be cheap and easy to mod, I want to performance mod it and cosmetic.

Any suggestions for me?
Thanks!

Never heard of a tranny problem in a Honda. :S

Are you saying 5gs including mods?

sirux

Nawh, just 5k for a reliable civic. mods will come later..
I want something that'll last me a good few years

There are many good price around. Even right here in the classifieds.

Find something you like and get it checked out by a pro.

Some of the newer Civics have had transmission issues (01-05 autos, 06-08 6sp), but Ive never heard of any issues with the 96-00 Civics.

For $5000 you could easily find a very nice 99-00 Civic. I would suggest an Si because they have more options like power windows/locks/mirrors/roof/ac/abs

Thanks for those advices,

for 5G's you can fine civic that have been moded already, and still be reliable.

sirux

Meh you never know what you're buying these days.. thats the problem

spike

thats true, but if you look over the car before hand, then you know. i have boughten 2 92 civic 4 doors, both with engine swaps, suspension work, brake upgrades, and i never had any problem with them.

Somebody lied to you!! Trannys are like butter in civic's pre-2000.
My only advice is make sure its certified and e-tested.

Ya just buy it and drive off...I never knew how to drive a manual but that didn't stop me...stalled out a few times on the way home but it gets easier quickly

Manual is simple to drive, a day to learn and a couple weeks to master. Or you could learn on a farm tractor or bike. :P
