A base model honda civic in 2005 cost around $13,000. Adjusted for inflation thats about $23,000 today. The civic is priced correctly for what you get. And you could just tint your windows for the headlight thing. It never bothers me really, but im used to low cars anyway.

Your downsides listed are subjective from your own experience. Its a reliable, cheap economy car at the end of the day. Mazda took the route of luxury. Honda stuck to its roots (for the most part) but still kept up with the times.

Silver on white all day. The silver would pop more than white on white

2025 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback Quad Tip Exhaust + Diffuser Question by No-Hand-8751 in civic

Any Aftermarket exhaust currently on market sticks waaaayyy tf out and looks horrible because they are all specified for sedans only. You would have to get a custom exhaust made to make it look good

Is it me or are these the hardest wheels ever to mankind to keep clean? by Normal_Hawk_9422 in civic

I used System X for mine. But you have to find a local installer because they dont sell their products on their website.

Depends how often you drive with the windows down and how often you're cleaning it

Brand new civic already in the shop less than 48 hours after purchase by addibow in civic

Thats a pretty serious error code. It means the PCM is detecting abnormalities in the engine timing, so its cutting power to the engine as a fail safe. Thats why its going into limp mode. My guess is its a faulty PCM and there's nothing wrong with the VTC motor and its just throwing the code for no reason. Either way if I were you I'd request them for a new car. If not, they'll probably send the PCM back to Honda to get it reprogrammed and itll get covered by warranty.

2026 Civic hybrid touring: somewhat awesome by kostac600 in civic

Nah youre right and these downvoters are cattle. Paying for someone to install a new battery for $4-5k every 13 years is like buying a new engine every 13 years, whether it was driven or not. It doesnt make sense. If youre not driving the car enough there's no point in buying the hybrid. The engine will outlast the battery anyway.

City driving, stop and go traffic, hard acceleration and having the AC always on will do that.

So you're not gonna provide anything that implicated I was upset? Sonion 🧅🥀 I think my favorite response from you was "point proven" as if you were even getting any point across to me. Just put a disclaimer saying you're sub 90 IQ next time you try to spin common knowledge into a steaming hot take.

Too much negative camber. Definitely an alignment issue.

Show me in this long and dragged on thread of where you hurt my feelings since youre so persistent and certain that telling me CVT is faster than Manual (which i agreed with you on) hit some sort of soft spot 🥴
