I'm sorry but Cavaliers look like crap.
I've got a friend who's into them. No matter what he does it'll still be a crapalier to me.

haha, my buddy had a 2000 z24 and he used to be like "my cavalier is better than your civic b" lol, ahh good times cause he had sooo many problems with that car, and I had none with my si

No one really bugged me about my car in highschool. Tho if they did, I prolly wouldnt care, kids are stupid, the people who make fun of civics are gonna be driving their cavaliers forever cause they can't afford anything better Cause who in their right mind would want a freaking sunflower or cavalier as their car? Seriously...

THey hate them because they think' they suck and are over driven. Well you know what, i dont care. Yes they are slow, but do they got potential? They got a **** load of potential and you can make them anything you want. They last long, fun to drive, and damn the chicks love nice looking civics.

Well.. me myself i drive a souped up 99 Corolla. .but i don't hate civics.. i love them.. (well .. some ppl'd think that civic guys hate corolla.. corolla guys hate civic) but hell no..

but i have to say that.. because there're so many souped up civics out there.. so there're lot of different kind of drivers..
so sometimes it's some bad *** drivers that make other ppl hate the car

not offence to civic drivers.. every different type of cars got this kinda driver.. but then because there're lot of Civics out there.. so there'd be more of this kinda drivers making other ppl think that all Civic and Civic drivers are bad..

and as for domestic.. they're piece of crap.. u can find some 2001, 2002 sunfire, cavaliar, neon for just $5000 bucks..
i jsut don't understand why ppl still keep buying those car..
their gas mileage, built quality, ride quality, resale value all are crap.. even any KIA or Hyundai is better than those..
import is the best

Never mind what other people think. Honda technology rules. You've got the best bang for your buck for the life of your car.

Never be ashamed of the "H"

^^^ the man speaks sense

as for why ppl hate Civic drivers, is cuz of the demographic of the average Civic enthusiast. even I hate that crowd

I've been having this problem in a lot of areas of my life recently. I love my car and I think there are some really nice Civics/Integras out there, but the kids ( I won't mention any carbohydrate sources ) who put on 200 bucks worth of plastic and drive like they're in pole position on residential roads just annoy the crap out of me. Of all the people who look at my car, my favorites are the parents who check my car out as I drive by them and their kids on residential streets giving them a wide berth and well below the speed limit. That double take is priceless, everyone should try it out.

$5000 for a 2000 car sounds to be a better deal than $5000 for a 95. The general public wants newer and cheap.

The guys I work with said $15000 for a 00 Civic SiR under 90K is way too much $$$.. I'm like WTF?? $15000 is avg.

A normal civic is slow at the begining. But once we do it up, it runs like a beast. They are just stupid. ANd hate civics. But then again it is all on personal preference, if you want a show car adn a **** engine, that is what the haters base their opinons on.
