Are civics too small for you?

[Ryan]

I really love civics, but I feel too tall in it. I'm all cramped in my dad's 2000 EX. I wish the seat would go back just a little more - so I could have some leg room. I was really looking at getting a new 2002 coupe, but I might have to pass

 

[dionx]

yes. thats why i have an accord and recommend them.

 

[Ryan]

But accords are way outta my budget Maybe I should just break my legs - and before I go into surgery to fix them, just as the doctor to take off a few inches

well whats your height and weight?

 

[Ryan]

I'm a little chubby, but I'm more muscular than fat - 220lbs, 6ft.

Those aren't too small. The old Ford Fiesta's were! What was the point, other than being able to fill up the tank without getting out of the car.

 

[Evadman]

God, I could never fit in something that small. My truck is nice, but at 35k it is out of most peeps price range

The EX only comes with a sun roof, the LX and the DX don't and have 2" more head room. I was going to get a 2001 EX but had to get the LX, and saved $2000. Its a great car, lots of fun to drive,plenty of room, and I get 37 MPG.

I was really looking at the HX - they're nice

 

[Brutuskend]

Umpa Lumpa NO!

About the ONLY advantage of being my size!

Go take a look at the 2002 civic first before you decide... The interior in the 7th gen civics (2001 up) are much bigger than the 6th gens (1996-2000)...

so dont make your decision based on your dad's 2000 civic...

 

[Angrymarshmello]

Yes. I feel like I'm in a box in my sister's 99 EX.

 

[Noriaki]

A bud of mine has a 2001 civic (not sure which letters) and I fit alright in it.

I'm 6'3" and 260. I don't fit *great*, but I manage in the front seat. Never in the back though.

 

[thomsbrain]

buy a used accord coming of a lease w/ a warrenty.

 

[Lapchern]

i have 2k2 civic, it's awesome, go to www.7thgencivic.com look at the posts and info, maybe you'll get hooked like i did! I'm not really into speed, it just begs for tickets and the civic's speed/accel is good for me . Gas mileage is awesome and nice revamped interior with nice orange odometers . Only thing i dont like is the headrest :\

 

[Thegonagle]

Yeah! I love the HX. Why don't all the Civics use this engine? My sister calculated her mileage in her 2001 HX on one of her trips at 55 MPG! I think her BF might have sneaked a little fuel in the tank while she was asleep, LOL, but I have heard from others that they really do push almost 50 on the highway. Pretty awesome for a 117 HP, non-dwarf sized, non-hybrid coupe. I especially like that they come with good looking standard alloy wheels.

BTW, the 2001-2002 is a noticeably larger inside than your 2000. The 2001 is now by some measures a compact rather than a sub-compact. So go sit in one.

i'm pretty small so it fits me perfectly, i've got friends that can't stand imports though

 

[Cooltech2k]

Not For me... Infact they seem huge in comparison to my no back seat havin car...

At 6'7" and 254lbs., Civics and many others are way to small........................that's why I drive a Yukon and a full sized pickup! Add to this the fact I think they are ugly...........they're great MPG cars I know, my wife had one years ago.......a CRX if I recall, but, their size, my size, and the fact that they are not very good looking vehicles precludes me from buying one........

 

[4WHLDFT]

Ahhhhgggg civics.....there are almost as many of those as integras around here, I guess its the ultimate commuter car

 

[Ryan]

<< Ahhhhgggg civics.....there are almost as many of those as integras around here, I guess its the ultimate commuter car >>



Almost?!?!?!?!? I'm sure the number of civics on the road is more than 4x that of the integra.

So the 2002's are a lot larger?

 

[Thegonagle]

<< So the 2002's are a lot larger? >>

Absolutely. Go sit in one next time you're out. See what you think.
