Hey guys,
I've only ever driven civics in the last 2 years, and now am fancying a change, something like a rat VAG or something, but I've put so much effort into my EJ2 that I really dont want to sell it.
It's taking every penny and there's still 1000s of changes I want to do to it!

The world is in denial but we are running out of oil
Hondas are known for gas mileage
Its funny how '70s civics got better gas mileage then new fords
You will regret losing your civic no matter how unsatisfied you are with it
Get another honda or a different one before selling yours
or use yours for parts or something

i still regret sellin my ef and eg hatch to this day. so much potential wasted. + u already boosted urs, so u have the best of both worlds honda+boost=win.
if u do sell it i guarantee you'll just buy another one down the road and b thinking i'd b so much further in my build if i woulda just kept on buildin the ej.
but it's your choice, do what makes u happy.

What's more fun, efficient and cost effective than a boosted D?
And what's a VAG in the UK? Here it's part of a girl

haha VAG = Volkswagen Audi Group
and although it's fun, economical and cost effective, it's not reliable...
Keep having problems with it so I might be looking at an old MX5 to get into the RWD Game instead

Sell it. The instant relief of not having to worry if your car is still there everymorning is worth it. Get an Audi!

Me personally, German cars are a pain in the ass. I've owned 2, and worked on about 3 others. Two of my "favorite" features were that almost all of the fasteners were allen keys, and the wheels are bolted on. I know it's not a huge deal, but that was half of the deal killer for me(Emergency tire change in the middle of a winter storm = weak). The other half was I didn't feel I got as much "car" as I should have (even the newer ones are weak compared to cars of the same displacement) If you're looking for something to just drive, whatever. Do they look nice?? Yep. Nicely equipped? Sure Are their "performance line" cars good?? Indeed Would I buy another one to play with?? Hell no. Hell, why not a newer Acura??
Something else to think about is: If you're looking for something to mod, why start from square one again??
